Spring Is in the Air

The sun was out as I drove to work this morning. Once brown fields are bursting to life in rich vibrant greens. The trees are in blossom. Spring is in the air. I was thinking about that when I drove to work, and about the renewal process. But, as I turned a curve I saw something that reminded me that even in the midst of renewal death is ever present. That something was a vulture eating a raccoon that didn't make it across the road. I began to think about the temporariness of renewal here on earth, and began to long for the great renewal when Christ returns. As Spring erupts around us, remember it's only a shadow of better things to come.
