What brings us together? Is it because we have something in common? That’s natural and normal.
Cows naturally come together to graze on the same field for food and for protection. It’s been said that when cows sit together, it’s for their mutual protection from stress, a common enemy or even in preparation for changes in the environment.
“Before the rain” is the name of this painting which is similar to a picture I took of these three cows who sat quietly together on the Cliffs of Mohr, Ireland under overcast skies from which the clouds threatened to burst at any time.
The cows remained unfazed while some tourists rushed back to their tour buses, some speculated about the possibility of rain and others simply ignored the warnings to stay off the cliffs, made slippery by the light drizzle that preceded the heavy downpour that came within half an hour. Different human reactions to a common threat!

Christ in you, the hope of glory. That’s why glory matters.
