On a Clear Day...

The New Year 2013 arrived with a perfectly clear day.

(this is quite unusual for this smoggy valley that Cali sits in)

It made me think of the words from the old song

"on a clear day you can see forever"

On a clear day, rise and look around you...

 This is the view from our study window...the sunlight on the trees and flowers was spectacular

 Rarely can you see the mountains on the otherside of the valley...but this day there they were

You’ll feel part of every mountain sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near

And to the other side we could clearly see that we are being watched over

On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star

That is exactly how I feel about this group of zone leaders...they astound me as does the office crew that continues to keep our missionaries going...

 We keep receiving packages for missionaries and are trying to get them out!

It is CLEAR that they have families who love and support them!

It is CLEAR to me that these missionaries have a CLEAR vision of who they are.

And these words to the song ring true...

And who would ever guess what powers you possess
And who would not be stunned to see you prove
There's more to us than surgeons can remove
So much more than we ever knew
So much more were we born to do
Should you draw back the curtain, this I am certain
You'll be impressed with you

As we watch people change their lives and receive a CLEAR understanding

of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and who they are

It is at the waters edge...on a Clear day when we can see forever into eternity!

The Joy we see here is CLEARLY the reason we keep sharing the gospel message

 of HOPE and LOVE...

On a Clear Day you can see forever!
