Anna Mason offered two shorter tutorials of the lovely Violas. I was intrigued with their name being the same as the big brother of the violin. I thought, surely they should be pronounced differently, so I looked it up. Both pronunciations were considered correct by about the same number of sources. So, choose the one you like best.
These are very hardy flowers that can tolerate early spring frosts. I pray I will be as hardy in my faith when a sudden chill sweeps in.
I’m reminded of a beautiful Gaither song, “Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know He holds the future, and life is worth the living just because He lives.”
