Double Rainbow over Greensboro

On Sundays, we usually post something spiritual, often a photo of a church. Every religion and mythology attributes something spiritual to the rainbow. In Greco-Roman mythology is was a path made by the messenger Iris between heaven and earth. In Judaism, the rainbow symbolizes divine anger and patience. In the Bible, God's promise not to flood the world again was shown in the form of a rainbow.*

As much as it has been raining in Greensboro this past week, it is hard to believe that the earth will not flood and that an ark will not be necessary. The rains kept many people from venturing downtown on First Friday. However, the above view of Spring Garden Street, on the southwest side of downtown, shows a double rainbow, reminding all of us that, often, we have to venture through trying situations to see great beauty. May you have a glorious Sunday, with or without a visible rainbow.
