Clay bank, still water, and brilliant reflection

 The rare day with little wind.

Water from a recent rain fills what was but clay.

The perfect reflection.

The earth, wind, and water pause for a moment.


This is Oklahoma.

November sunrise

 Cold, clear sky.

Bright, bright sun.

This is November.


This is Oklahoma.

Oklahoma sunrise at the end of October

October skies in Oklahoma.

Images belie vision.

Light, air, and moisture make for a wonderful beginning to a new day.


This is Oklahoma.

Cold air and much needed moisture

Rain

It's been a long wait.

It's been a dry year.

October is faithful to bring moisture.

Even in the drought.


This is Oklahoma.

Amber foretells Autumn

 October sunrise.

Amber foretells Autumn.

The sky proclaims God's majesty.

The dry land petitions him for his mercy.


This is Oklahoma.

Join the creation in a new song; aka Oklahoma Sunrise

Psalm 96

¹ Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
² Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
³ Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
⁴ For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
⁵ For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
⁶ Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
⁷ Ascribe to the LORD, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
⁸ Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come into his courts.
⁹ Worship the LORD in the splendor of his^[a] holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth.
¹⁰ Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.
¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
¹² Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
¹³ Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes,
he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in his faithfulness.

On Christ the solid rock I stand

 On Christ the solid rock I stand.

All other ground is sinking sand.
