Today was a particularly crappy day for very dumb reasons mostly due to my stupidity. So this evening I decided to drive back to the Tri-Cities to take advantage of what was left of my extended spring break and see my family. I was driving around Yakima to run some errands before leaving for the Tri and I noticed a particularly beautiful sunset that my 2 megapixel, scratched-lens iPhone doesn't do much justice.

"That's nice," I thought, "something pretty to look at in the rear-view mirror on the drive home." But then I had another thought (thanks in part to Pastor Bryan's awesome message last week):

No matter how awful a day is, God can make it into something beautiful!

God doesn't cause bad things to happen; he makes bad things into wonderful, beautiful things. I have seen many examples of this in my life and that sunset is the simplest way I can think of sum it up.

Awesome.
