Beautiful

I’ve just spent several days – mostly inside – with hundreds of Presbyterians in Salt Lake City. And while the business was often grueling, we were in privileged spaces with plenty of water and air conditioning. And while we deliberated and prayed and sang in the comfort of hotel ballrooms, outside in the world wars continued and fires burned and hurricanes terrorized and greed prevailed.

Nevertheless there is beauty in this world. The beauty is in the people who serve to make earth a little more like heaven. God’s people. And after a restful weekend, the work begins again.

Image is a small mosaic of some of the beautiful people at General Assembly who spend their lives serving others in the image of Christ. I took their photos saying “I’m taking pictures of beautiful people. May I take your photo?” They make life better. There were countless beautiful people at General Assembly.
