November 30

My blood has thinned considerably since I first moved to sunny California almost 20 years ago, so it's not unusual for me to be cold. But today --a day when the temperature never hit the 50-degree marker-- I was so cold that I had to go home and put on socks for the first time in months. (And make fun of me if you will, but dude, that means I was freezing!) But the unpleasantness of the cold aside, the overcast skies and occasional rain showers brought a pretty surprise this afternoon:

A beautiful, colorful, ethereal reminder of God's presence on an otherwise dreary sort of day is always a welcome thing to my eye.
