One of the easiest ways in which I connect with God is through nature, and I love when I can be with those I love out in God’s beauty. One of the best things about exploring nature with others is learning that the things I love aren’t necessarily the things that others love.

Many times bravery and danger are two sides of the coin. This evening’s psalm is both. Psalm 35 is a desperate plea from someone so excluded that he, in a prayer to God, paints the scenario with war-like imagery.
