A shower fell in the night...

"A shower fell in the night and now dark clouds drift across the sky, occasionally sprinkling a fine film of rain. I stand under an apple tree in blossom and I breathe..."

quoted from Freedom to Breathe, a prose poem by Aleksandre Solzhenitsyn

A quote from martyr Anne Askew (1521-1546)
You can learn more about Anne Askew, and other men and women from church history, in Richard Hannula’s book, Trial and Triumph.

Like as the armed knight
Appointed to the field,
With this world will I fight,
And faith shall be my shield.
