But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14)

I couldn’t help but notice the contrast in the sky yesterday as I was driving home. (I may or may not have taken this picture while driving 50 miles per hour.)

The scene made me thankful to God that I do not have to dwell in the past and all its darkness. He has made me free to strain forward, to press on.
