Sitting on the porch swing this afternoon, Dianna and I were reflecting on life. Talking to a neighbor across the yard, and he shared that this pandemic gives us all time to think. Then a little later gazing the first flowers of spring in the yard and remembering the beautiful ones back at Baxter, I recalled this ancient reality check, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” 1 Peter 1:24-25 #baxterinsiration #baxtercampus #baxterflora (at Hendersonville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Q9h1AJ0F5/?igshid=1eg84nsmm458k
A great example of how nature can grow even in the middle of obstacles, likewise, we have God who accompanies us in the most difficult moments and helps us overcome them. #baxterflora #baxterinspiration (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ba6_yp8_w/?igshid=nqzh05mz39lr
From the Top of Baxter... You get a glimpse of a city of 1.7 million inhabitants, the new highway that passes in front of our campus, and the beautiful flowering trees on campus. It’s also an excellent spot to reflect on God’s mandate for us, “go and make disciples of all nations...,” Matthew 28:19. #baxtercampus #baxterflora (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByerznVpjUN/?igshid=19q16xbfuqp7b
This is a beautiful green landscape that the May rains have brought us. And we can take in each day. #baxteresnaturaleza #baxtercampus #baxterflora (at Baxter Institute)
Beautiful Bougainvillea adornan Baxter’s three arbors which are 40+ years old. Normally the plant blooms in gran fashion in February; our recent “cold” snap may have brought them on. #baxterflora (at Baxter Institute)
Curiously delightful. As I pass in front of the reception on my way to the cafeteria, I always pause and gaze at this odd but beautiful work of our Creator God. #baxtercampus #baxterflora
