There is Still Goodness Here

Somehow, the dry, dusty brown of this earth has a way of sinking its fangs into the most beautiful fragments of creation and dimming their light. The earth was meant to be a flourishing place, yet, the dead places strip the live places of their beauty and turn creation into a wasteland.

But there is still goodness here.

The Ugly Truth of Garden Snails

The ugly truth of garden snails is the ugly truth of the human heart too: both are full of a parasite that kills them and anyone who encounters them.

This is the difficult, beautiful glory of God. It is full of grace and truth.

But if the roads lead to graveyards…will you still walk them?
