something beautiful.

isn't it strange the affect beautiful things have on us?

i was driving towards the sunset tonight...just running a few errands (hello, blockbuster for the next Heroes disc!)

my mind was racing, and i found myself lost in my thoughts. here i was...in the normal. in the mundane. and then there it was...

something beautiful.

the sunset seemed to pause in time waiting for me to open my eyes to its existence. it has always been there..and until God is done with this earth, it will continue to be there...there's always a sunset somewhere, right? sometimes we just miss it.

but for just a brief moment...my mind cleared and it all drifted away. beauty...real beauty...has a way of doing that, doesn't it?

i've been missing the sunsets lately...and not just the physical ones. i've been so consumed with my mess that i've ignored the beauty that God has placed in my life...

sometimes, i think He makes the sunset that much more spectacular just for me...

you know, i wouldn't put it past Him.
