The word of the day is: Theophany.

the‧oph‧a‧ny
[thee-of-uh-nee]
–noun, plural -nies.
1. A manifestation or appearance of God or a god to a person.

This word has appeared in my life at this time, much like a manifestation of God to a person. Miraculously, without explanation or clear implication. I thought I would share it, as well as this stunning picture of the Salamander. This particular one is a Eurycea guttolineata, or Three-lined Salamander, from the state of Virginia. God appears to us all in many ways. These penumbral theophanies are not God, but they are a way to see what He is doing around us.
