Being a news, history, and culture junkie, I can't keep from getting sucked into the headlines and analysis. Unfortunately, that has left little time for my little blog! Hopefully this should change. I've already got a really fun post in the works, so stay tuned...
In the meantime, I wanted to share these lovely photos of a beautiful sunrise this morning in the Nation's Capitol...because, well, they're beautiful! I've seen many late nights at the Capitol, but I'm not often out this early to start the day! Many years ago, when I was a young pup working in Congress, I gave Capitol tours (history heaven for someone like me!) and would always point out that Lady Freedom atop the Capitol dome faces east - thus, "the sun never sets on freedom." I always thought that was so poetic and a reminder of how blessed we are in America! (Of course, a recent court ruling saying that Christians can have beliefs but not act on them, does not bode well for freedom and religious liberty...)
But this beauty invokes another kind of poetry that will never fade - from Lamentations chapter 3, verses 22-23: "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." That is cause for joy! No matter what else we might face.
