Clarity

Day by day I marvel at the amazing clarity of this semi-violent place. It's almost as if the colors themselves combine in violent methods. Instead of sunrises and sunsets of gentle hues, the horizons are met daily by radiantly feathered clouds. It literally looks as though God has taken pink, orange and yellow Highlighters to color the sunrise/sunset skies. However mesmerizing these daily miracles are, it doesn't stop with just clear days but clear nights are included as well. Imagine sitting in a park (where there aren't many lights around) and staring at the stars. Seem pretty clear but there are still types of "light pollution" somewhere reasonably close. There is no light pollution here. You can easily look up after dark and clearly see the Milky Way span across the sky like a giant streak of smeared white paint.

I guess the point is this: Even though this place sometimes seems backwards (like the way grass grows in their winter months) it's still evident that God's miracles are happening all around us, all of the time. Anyone paying attention to details can see Him work with every smile on the face of every Local National or every daily blessing we receive of food, water and supplies. Someone blind to this is not blind at all but simply a fool.
