We like to think that trees drop their leaves and go dormant for the winter. Trees, however, like to think of it as "stealth mode."

One of my past favorites. This one was taken beside the Copper River near Chitina, Alaska, while first nations folks were dip netting nearby. A big print of this hangs in my living room.

We place too much emphasis on the idea that the messages of the Bible are meant for individuals and to be applied by individuals. I get much more mileage by reading the Bible as being addressed towards a community.

God seems to value our freedom to choose very highly. I don’t find any examples of God the Father or Jesus imposing a decision on anyone. Better to have someone choose the proper course of action than prevent them from choosing the wrong one.
