Free from Fog
It’s difficult to drive in thick fog. In fact, it’s scary. It’s a blessed relief when it lifts and the road is clear.
When someone’s word or action of love touches us deeply, it can banish a cloud and even transform us
When a child harnesses a hidden talent, it thrills a parent and, for the child, puts the sky in focus.
When someone bowed by an addiction breaks free of it, a new world dawns and loved ones give thanks
Enveloped in cloud, Peter, James and John receive a startling message: “This (Jesus) is my Son, the Beloved.” The moment passes, the memory lasts. Later, His resurrection confirms this message and frees them from the fog of fear. May we be fog-free.
