Cats Who Made Bad Choices

I saw these on Facebook and just HAD to post it! I hope I have started your weekend with a laugh.

“My choice is you, God, first and only. And now I find I’m your choice!” 

Psalm 16

The Tigers

The Tiger Lilies are blooming now! I can spot them from a distance because they grow upside down. And I am in a picture; can you find me?

There is a legend that says a hermit once saved the life of a wounded tiger. In the afterlife, the tiger became a Tiger Lily, and he spread his flowers everywhere searching for the hermit, who had died. He followed him even after death.

Tiger, tiger burning bright
In the forests of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
William Blake

The Storm

This evening we watched the lightening from a storm in the distance. I was hoping for a sunset, but instead the sun shone on the storm clouds across from it.

And you all know what happens after a storm!

“I looked: I saw an immense dust storm come from the north, an immense cloud with lightning flashing from it, a huge ball of fire glowing like bronze.” 

Ezekiel 1

Owls

The girls were over the other day and we made these owl cupcakes. I learned that even though I twist, I cannot separate an Oreo! Not to worry, Anne Marie did it perfectly.

“Owls will hoot in the windows, ravens will croak in the doorways— all that fancy woodwork now a perch for birds.”

Zephaniah 2

After A Rain

This was the sunset earlier this week. For some reason, sunsets are much more beautiful right after it rains.

“Elijah said to Ahab, “Up on your feet! Eat and drink—celebrate! Rain is on the way; I hear it coming.”

1 Kings

Potty Break

Perhaps these people were renovating their bathroom? The tub is beautiful, but the potty is another thing altogether...

“My people will live in a peaceful neighborhood— in safe houses, in quiet gardens.” 

Isaiah 32

Bike Wall

Welcome to the bicycles of Charlottesville! This mural was painted on a large curved wall beside a busy highway. It was painted by four artists and several volunteers, and it took four days. I see something different each time we pass it.

 “Anyone who can read this writing on the wall and tell me what it means will be famous and rich—purple robe, the great gold chain—and be third-in-command in the kingdom.”

Daniel 5
