Man, I love fireworks

So, the fireworks in Washington D.C. are absolutely spectacular. I got to hear John Williams conduct, here the 1812 Overture (one of my favorite classical pieces of music) and watch incredible works of art above the Washington Monument.
But, even this week I got to see the Washington National Cathedral which is a grandiose place worthy of being a home to the funerals of many of our dignitaries and the last place Martin Luther King, Jr. preached.
This week was full of lots of great things. On the same note, it was also the most challenging I have had by far. With many things happening not according to plan, I felt discouraged. But, the book of Job was able to come to my rescue and teach me even more of the amazing life that we are allowed to live, enjoy, relish in, and appreciate. Even though I feel that often there are insurmountable challenges that face our world, and our individual lives, I know that they can be overcome by the incredible spirit of mankind in unity, love, and kindness. Have a fantastic weekend everyone. -Tim

"Job stood up and tore his robe in grief. Then he shaved his head and fell to the ground to worship. 21 He said,“I came naked from my mother’s womb, and I will be naked when I leave. The Lord gave me what I had, and the Lord has taken it away. Praise the name of the Lord!” In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God." Job 1:20-21
