Leafs hmm

I went to the woods behind my house today to do some reading; I am currently reading Blue like Jazz by Donald Miller. As I worked my way to a place where I thought I could sit comfortably to read I heard a sound like something falling and hitting the ground all around me, I kept hearing this sound as I was reading and after a while I really do not know how long I started to think more about the sound. At first I thought it must be some kind of animal sitting in the top of the trees but I came to realize that if this were the case there must a great many of these animals and that they must be quite clever as the sound of their dropping hitting the ground as synced perfectly with the leaves that were falling around me. As Listened to the sound of the leaves I found that they played a beautiful song consisting of many soft pops and thuds all around me. at this I started looking at the leaves which covered the ground and the trees all around me and I found that their Beauty was inescapable, and that it surrounded me no matter where I went my attention was captured by the beauty of these leaves which were so beautiful even as they were dying. I began to wonder if the leaves were not unlike God in the sense that no matter where you turn as long as you remain in his light it does not matter where you are or where you look His beauty is everywhere and is Inescapable. His beauty shines all around you on the ground where you walk and stir it up even more and the colors mix creating even more beauty and the sound joins the chorus that is already being played all around you to make it even more beautiful.

“Welcome to the Kingdom of Light!”


Hello Everyone,

I have been virtually silent as for as my blog goes since my return from Ghana I hope you do not mind, but I think it was by design because I have been learning so much and growing so much that I have now concluded that my trip to Ghana as amazing, Incredible, awesome… as it was just the Spark to set of a tremendous Growth/Learning sprit. I honestly feel like a totally different person now than I did well, Last week it is so amazing and there is one phrase that sums it up it is a quote from Ted DeKker’s book Sinner and that is “Welcome to the Kingdom of Light!” yea that’s it!
