SILVER LININGS AND RAINBOWS - episode 9

SILVER LININGS AND RAINBOWS 

10-12 hour days on computers, raining season, and COVID spreading kept us mostly indoors this week.  We are very grateful when we have a chance to try to catch the sunrise in the morning.  One of the benefits of the rainy season is that cloudy morning mists added with a rising sun produces lots of rainbows.  They only last a few minutes so we feel blessed when they happen while we are walking.  The best one got away on a morning when neither of us took a phone with us and there was a full bow rainbow over the bay - no pictures of that one.


We were studying about Noah this week.  So it is extra fun to see the bow that God set in the cloud as a token of the covenant he made with Noah and "every living creature of all flesh" when He brings the clouds. (Genesis 9:12-15)

It is a good reminder to us of how God has been so good to us especially when we pass through the clouds and storms and see His array of light and joy on the other end.

Sherri finds joy even in the plumeria flowers fallen from the trees that we walk past.   I love to feel her joy in every flower we see; "Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these".  (Matt 6:29)

Still the cutest!!

We finally got a picture of us in front of the temple a couple of weeks ago.  We are so excited!  The amount of work that the temple start up team is doing is incredible.  Everything will need to be ready to go by May 4th when the Open House begins.  Rod and Lori Boss are on the Open House Committee so I am sure it will end up being spectacular. As I reflect on the history of temples since 1830, I see periods of excitement, soul stretching sacrifice, intense opp...
