This past #4thOfJuly, I was driving around various farm roads, looking for sanctuary for my dog from the terrifying fireworks. We came across two #churches, both seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Both offered a chance for her to walk around for a bit and get a drink of water, during the almost five hours we were out that night.

One of them was Plattville #MethodistChurch in #Yorkville #Illinois. It had this beautiful #StainedGlassWindow, shining in the darkness.

I've always loved #StainedGlass.

It's very appropriate that it should be an image of #Jesus with a Shepherd's Staff, knocking on a door. I came with a #ShetlandSheepdog, seeking sanctuary-- although we never actually knocked on the door.
