spring forward, never go back

I've got lots on my mind these days, especially about the church and her future.

I took a picture this afternoon of the first bloom on the dwarf georgia peach tree in our front yard. I am hopeful that spring is soon coming bringing new things. I am reminded that winter brought some things to an end.

In many ways, this peach tree had to die in order to bring something new. And, I am wondering about the church even still...
