Often being Christian is not all about everything being good all the time. Sometimes God strengthens and cleans us through our troubles.

Perhaps I should have said it's not all about being "comfortable". Romans 8:28 says "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Troubles may not always "feel" good but, through God they always lead us to good.
Nice picture and comforting thought. Your picture is inspiring me to look all around me, take pictures of things I can relate to a verse. For a long time, I have been looking for one thing to specialize in regarding Christian photos other than nature. I think I am going to start taking pictures of everything around me that reflects God and a verse to tie into it. In addition to filling my need to take pictures, it should help me in looking for God everywhere and keep my mind more focused on Him. Blessings on this Lord's Day, Bob

Is that a picture of purgatory

Don't know. My understanding of purgatory is a place where our sins are kind of paid for in some weird way. I place my trust on the blood of Jesus.
But I have to confess the last few years have been a bit stressful. But the Blood of Jesus will prevail.

This picture was taken when we were burning weeds from a field that had been planted in winter wheat. The wheat was growing well but young and tender. The fire completely consumed the the weeds (mustard and rye) and young wheat but the wheat regrew, as we new it would, but without the problem of so many weeds.
