Did you see the huge rainbow in the sky this evening?
We only noticed it in the rear view mirror of the car as we drove home in the evening. Sadly for me, I was driving and so was unable to get more than a glimpse of it through the mirror. But DD tells me that it was virtually a whole arc and possibly the biggest rainbow he had ever seen.
Noey was allowed special dispensation to get out of his car seat to have a look at the rainbow — the first he has ever laid eyes on. And after exclaiming “Rainbow!”, the first thing he immediately said was “God put the rainbow in the sky.”
(The result of many many readings of Noah’s Ark, no doubt. Can you blame us?? He followed this up with the not-so-grammatically-correct “God made the rainbow put inside the sky.” Haha. “God made the…” is one of his favourite startings to a sentence, you see.)
Indeed, as we admire the beauty of the rainbow in the sky, may it bring to mind even more the One who has put it in the sky, and the covenant which God made with Noah all living things that he would never again flood the earth to destroy it.
That must surely lift your spirits more than the mere beauty of the rainbow ever could!

hi! thanks for the advice. that's the plan i have in general, since i'm not married yet. i just wonder whether it's better to do corp now if i'm probably going to go in house. it appears that most companies prefer someone with corporate or finance experience. and in liti, i do more general, broad commercial work. it just doesn't seem as specialized as what many of the
