Ah, Spring

Nashville sits poised on the edge of spring: the yellow forsythias are blooming, every twig and shrub is greening, and the Bradford pears are just about to show their glory.

O happy, happy spring--a new season of beginning again, a new chance to witness the wonders of God's creation, and a new energetic start to a new year with the blessings of the risen Christ surrounding us.

Otter will have its first service in the sanctuary tomorrow--a fitting event modeled on the excitement of new beginnings. I am looking forward to it and to the new and untried practices of faith which will follow.
