“Beyond fads and fading trends, adorning ourselves with Christlikeness brings blessing that goes beyond the eye of the beholder.” –Harold “Doc” Arnett, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Do others see compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience in your life?

Though I walk to the mountain alone

and there rest in a shelter of stones

hear the wind and feel the earthquake

and listen in the silence

The fire burns and lights my way

and I am not consumed

How long am I cast away to the mountain?

Away from the dance

and the market day?

Must the beacons be set aflame

so far apart?

–Bethany Lee, The Breath Between
