Stained Glass Masquerade

I love stained glass. My favorite part of our church are the stained glass windows. 

When we first moved to Bethany, they gave tours of the church and told stories of how and why the windows were created.  I have forgotten the details, but I am reminded of the beauty.

Our choir, referred to as the "Cathedral Choir" sings with the windows reflecting behind them.  What a blessing!

My brother took the most beautiful picture of a stained glass window reflecting against a lit Christmas tree at our Uncle's Memorial Service...

Recently, I have been blessed by two different ministries who tell stories of stained glass better than I ever could...

LeAnn... this reminds me of your beautiful artistry and how God has used you to bless my life!  God's blessings upon all of you who have used your gifts to minister to us!

Flowers for a friend ~ Lyn Coody (Updated 4/18)

We have been praying for you.

We want you to know we love you and wish we could be there, or better yet, that you could be here with us.

If you know Lyn and wish to leave a note, prayer or scripture, please post a comment. She will be seeing these notes periodically.

If you are in communication with Lyn some other way, please continue to use that method.

Tears are a language, God understands

Tonight so much is going on.  Too much to write about. 

I am well and blessed beyond measure tonight, but so many others are not.


All I can think of is this song...
