Mad for Magnolias

Growing up in Illinois, I thought that Magnolia trees were only in the South. So imagine my surprise while driving home the other day when I saw this beautiful blooming Magnolia Tree. Psalm 9:1 "I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. " This magnolia blossom shows just one of the beautiful creations God has created and I just had to thank Him for allowing me to see this wonder the other day.

Take a picture....it lasts longer

Remember when you were a child and you were looking at someone, if you were caught staring the response was typically "Take a picture, it lasts longer". Well, I find myself doing that these days. While walking into work yesterday, I saw that the trees had started to bloom amd God's creation had yet again started to show it's beautiful colors....so I took a picture-the image lasts longer :D

A new bud-ginning

This is a favorite picture of mine I took last year. I guess it speaks to me at this time of year of new beginnings and signs that the vibrant colors of Spring will soon be here.

Is Spring in the air?

It seems like the weather has turned the corner here in Chicago and I searched today for signs that Spring was indeed around the corner. I spotted a child's well loved and used baseball sitting on the grass and the song "Take me out to the ballgame" came to mind. So play ball and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.

Garden Chapel

I took this picture today at church. It's of our Garden Chapel. I love sitting in there are worshipping. It can be calming place for me to sit and meditate; I also love it in the spring and summer when the sun comes shining through. It's as if God's light is beaming down on me as I celebrate him
