Today's Sunday Church Share...

Today our church share is a little closer to home. On my way to work every morning I drive by this beautiful window. I must say though, the picture does not do it justice as there are so many more colors that are not captured here. Everyday I kept wondering how to take a picture of it because to take a picture, I literally had to stop in the middle of the street. As it's very early and very dark when I pass through, I really didn't want to get out of my car. I couldn't take my time, as I had to stop, hoping no cars would come along. I quickly snapped a photo and went on my way. Wanted to share this view that I see and appreciate every morning. ~ Mindy
