Words We Know, But God Doesn't
Second Lesson Sermons For Lent/Easter Cycle C
Native Texans know the place as "the hill country." Not like the high rolling plains of the Edward's Plateau of the Panhandle, nor like the dense piney woods of the southeastern border with Louisiana, and certainly not like the God-forsaken desert mountains of the Big Bend, the hill country is Texas. Home to both Willie Nelson and the LBJ Ranch, there the landscape is marked by rolling limestone hills, dotted with cedar and blue bonnets. There, the air is clear and fresh, and this is why the hill country is home to something else: the McDonald Observatory of the University of Texas at Austin.
