But is their something sinister in this picture?
Note the lack of sky in the background. That whole lot behind our house was filled with Buckthorn.

Ego
Have you ever dealt with someone who’s ego was so large that they couldn’t fit their head through the door? Yeah, I have too, and they do not make it easy to enjoy their company (to put it likely). Wouldn’t it be so great to tell that person “the world doesn’t revolve around you!” or “you’re no better than the rest of us you know!”. There seems to be something in us that cringes at the idea of acting bigger than we really are.

How Jesus Is Set Apart From Everyone Else Who Claimed Messiahship
Tornadoes & Golden Winged Warblers
Some scientists were tracking Golden Winged Warblers in the Appalachian mountains. See a picture below.
What is interesting is that right after they finished their seasonal migration, they left!
Scientists were confused, until a series of storms swept through the area which lead to a tornado outbreak. Checking the geolocation trackers on the birds later, they flew a bit over 930 miles to get just South of the Tornado's path, then came straight home again.
This immediately brought to mind:

So you made a decision to change your life at summer church camp…what next?
You went to the classes. Listened to the messages. Sang the songs. And somewhere in the midst of it all, God reached in and tweaked something inside you. You heard Him.
Maybe it was like a lightning bolt to your heart. Maybe it was a tiny seed that He planted and is barely beginning to sprout. It could be a cloudy something that has been in your mind for months, only now it is crystal clear.

Winning in marriage starts with knowing it’s a team event
Once every four years, we find ourselves using phrases like “Lutz” and “triple Salchow” …during the Winter Olympics when we all become experts in sports we watch exactly once every four years.
Imagine if figure skating pairs got on the ice and each did their own routine. It would never work. Not only would they never medal, but they’d be laughed off the ice. Everyone knows, that’s not how paired figure skating works.

Blackhole Testimony
You likely have seen the recent first-ever picture taken of a black hole in space. Actually, the image looks a lot like a glowing donut approximately 55 million light years from earth - a nearly incomprehensible distance.

Salt - Death Life Rebirth
Parents, we may miss the mark sometimes, but we should at least know where the target is.
Are you worried that you’ll do everything you can raising your kids in the faith and yet when they’re an adult they’ll walk away from it?

Eye Witness Accounts - Mary Magdalene
Am I dreaming? Are my feet running only in my mind, soon to be stilled as once again I awaken from a fitful sleep to the reality of the grief and despair of the past few days? But, no! I touch my eyes and they are open. I feel the wind as it blows my hair, the sun as it warms my skin. I feel the joy of life! He is alive! My Saviour is alive!!
