Last night, we gathered in the sanctuary around a cross of candles in an attempt to dissolve the cares of this world while meditating on His awe-inspiring creation and His unimaginably, passionate love for it all. We read Psalm 148 which talks about the heavens, the heights, His angels, the sun, moon and stars, the earth, sea monsters and all deeps, fire, hail, snow, frost, stormy wind, mountains, hills, fruit trees, all cedars, wild animals, cattle creeping things, flying birds, Kings of the earth, all peoples praising the name of the Lord. I couldn't help but to notice that the candles making up the cross were dancing last night. That sounds weird, but it is true. The flames would not hold steady. They would swell, shrink, sway to and fro. They were dancing. To me, it looked an awful lot like THEY were even praising God, dancing with joy to be in His presence. So, I am making it a goal to be on the look-out for other things that are unexpectedly praising. Some thoughts from our group last night were sunsets, sunrises, the stars, the ocean...
