Spring?

Today was a beautiful day. It was warm and sunny and there was a nice breeze. I spent time at a park, enjoying the day and was delighted to see green on the trees and bushes. We had a snow storm on Monday, so the nice weather was most welcome to me. I got a bit of a sunburn while at the park, but I intentionally did not put sunblock on today. I decided to let my skin soak in all of the rays, both good and bad. It's my first burn of 2007 and I am willing to deal with the minor burn in exchange for the sunshine.

I also had a chance to sit on my patio today and read. I am reading Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton. It was recommended by a friend who has similar intellectual tastes to my own, so I figured I would enjoy it. I was not prepared to laugh aloud several times while reading a philosophically inclined book on Christian faith. Chesterton is so witty. So far I am enjoying it immensely!

I am also still enjoying watching God work in the life of a friend. God is still in the business of transforming lives, and I love to see it in action! He is the God of all creation, displayed in the beauty of a warm Spring afternoon, and the God of new creations, displayed in the life of my friend. What a glorious God He is indeed!
