Practicing Resurrection: Tulips
April 15, 2007 · by Christine
I am interrupting my planned blogging break to announce that I won the Inspirational category of The Best of Blogs awards! I am really touched and so grateful to all of you who voted for me and support me in a variety of ways.
On my way up to the Spiritual Directors International conference in Vancouver this weekend I stopped at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and offer here a photo meditation on “practicing resurrection“:

These gorgeous tulips seem to be saying, “Congratulations, Christine!” You sooooo deserve this award. Your writing, photography, art, poetry, offerings and ministry have helped me and I’m sure countless others to resurrect in many ways.
Thank You, Dear Christine!
HUGS and BLESSINGS to YOU.
Bette.
