Do you know what I love? Walking down a country road, no one in sight or sound, out where I can lean back and see nothing but sky. . . blue sky. . . the sun shining from one side, brilliantly pure white cirrus clouds streaking their way across the great blue circle of the heavens. Gazing into that deep blue is understanding how the color symbolizes God's holiness, as in the tabernacle. . . the great expanse separating God from us. Lovely, awesome, cold. Lovelier, warmer, more awesome still is the thought that God would transcend that blue expanse of holiness to reach us. Because we could not.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Hebrews 4:14

wow Sharon, this is why I miss the countryside and Maryland sooo much.
There are not many things I miss about the state of Iowa, but the big blue sky is one of them. :-)
