Truly the light is sweet , and it is pleasant to the eyes to behold the sun , but if a man lives many years and rejoices in them all , yet let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Ecclesiastes 11: 7-8
There is a simple symmetry to a sunset ( one persons sunset is another persons sunrise ) there is a glorious beauty to this daily occurrence that is free to all who wish to view it. A metaphor for Gods grace unearned reaching out to all , sometimes obscured but always present. There is more to a Sunset than meets the eye. More than its beauty , it strikes a part of us that is a " human part " worldwide people pause and reflect on the last visible evidence of the daily sun. Lovers embrace and kiss as it falls, solitary men and women take time to ponder in its sight. Would we enjoy this blessed sight if it were the last time before total darkness ? or does the promise of a new day not only make this tolerable, but joy full as well ? The sunset offers us hope and reflection, and summons us to rest for the beginning a brand new day filled with Gods blessings trials and sorrows ..a simple symmetry.

Hi Kenn!
Just a note to let you know that I have been reading your blogs. I enjoy them very much. I agree with about 99% of all you have said. The 1% is insignificant! It is a matter of difference of theolgy that has nothing to do with our salvation! As Christians, our faith is personal. Not everyone has to believe the same! As long as we agree that our salvation comes from God and God alone, that is enough!
I know that this ordeal with your church has been difficult. I am praying for you and Lori as you seek a new place to worship!
