we sat in shadow, and then lightness. i sat there feeling out of place. God, i lift up relationships to you. i want to be challenged by this group. their love for you is so deep; i want to learn more about You through them.

stop. something catches my eye - i look up and see the sky through the window in the ceiling. clear light filters through and bathes us in light.

You are so beautiful, God. even the sun and sky speak of your majesty and glory.
