Weekend Worship at Highlands United Methodist Church, Highlands, Tennessee










When we first drove up Marilyn and I both noticed that there seemed to be

the outline of an angel in the clouds.









And maybe I am just wanting to see things but I can see the form of another angel between these clouds--it looks as if she has a crown with a star atop her head.




But the most beautiful sight that rendered the most meaning to me was this cross
with the long sash of starry lace.




To me the dichotomy of the cross and lace spoke volumes--
the ugliness of sin in mass heaped upon an innocent lamb...........



the beauty of the spotless lamb who spoke not a word when
led to the slaughter.....
against a backdrop of splintery scars





and suddenly the scarred becomes the starred.........






Philippians 2 urges us to become blameless and without fault, children of God who amidst a perverse generation shine like stars in the universe. 
If ever our country and our world needed us to shine, dear friend, it is now!


May your weekend be blessed,
