The Japanese Cherry trees are blooming now, and offered a beautiful subject for me photograph close to home. Truly, I think that this is a reminder that while people may be fretting and worrying about lives and the economy globally, God still controls everything; see, the trees still prepare for spring, and is it not His hand that controls the coming and going of the seasons?

While we may all be distant from one another, remember that God is always with us, in the good and evil days. Remember Matthew 6:25-34, where Jesus says that we should not worry, but trust in Him fully. We should not be foolish in times like these. Use this time to draw closer to God. Read the Bible and read sound theological books to expand your understanding of the Scriptures. They shall provide you comfort that no TV show, movie, or other form of entertainment can.
