Rocks
Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O Lord. How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36: 5--7 (NLT)

A Dusty Refuge
Caddo Lake, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Southwest Oklahoma. The wind blew hard, from the southwest, all day with gusts to 50+ mph. Dust from the fields began filling the sky in the early afternoon. The dust clouds were so heavy the sun was obscured from about 6:30pm through sunset at 7:40pm.
The Path We Take
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." Proverbs 3:5--6 (NLT) He led me up this road to this spot after thoughtful prayer began the morning.
Star Light, Star Bright
Star light, star bright, The first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight. We'll make a wish, and do as dreamers do, And all our wishes (all our wishes), Will come true. (Nursery Rhyme)
