It's remarkable what is to be found in the desert. Of course, there is the expected scenery of stone, brittle foliage, various wildlife. But there is also the beautiful decay of things man-made and oft abandoned. As I shot this incredibly colorful and weathered Chevy truck, my mind wandered to how we weather the storms of this world. Sometimes we fall apart, eroding with every falling tear. But more often, especially when we trust that God will shelter us when needed, we are transformed into someone far more interesting and colorful than we ever expected or even hoped to be. Let us welcome the weathering that God sends our way, believing that through His daily transformation our outward AND inward patinas become even more lovely.
