A Corner

I was thinking I was going to get outside for this photo challenge. 

But it is very dreary rainy day. 

Not going out. 

So I thought I'd share one of my favorite corners.

Revelation 20:8 English Standard Version (ESV)
8 and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.

I have a very full inside. 

As I'm working on decluttering this year.

But not today!

15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
