Mystery Destination

Guess where we went the other week
I thought I'd give you a sneak peek!
Here are some clues for you to find
That I just didn't think you'd mind
So look real close then take a guess
Tomorrow I'll show and confess!

Beeing There

"Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers."
Robert Ingersoll


Yesterday, I saw these bees among some flowers. They were HUGE!! The bees, that is, not the flowers. In fact, I have never seen bees so large in my life. I know all of you would have gone nuts with the camera just like I did!


"For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Till Tuesday

I like the idea of taking Monday off from the computer. It seems to be our busiest day. So I think from now on I will be taking Mondays off, no blog hoping or computer stuff. I will leave you with images of summer, giant images. They may look regular sized, but look at the last picture of Phil with one to see it in perspective! All of these were hanging from the ceiling of Target! Till Tuesday...

Just A Sliver

Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1:3,5 

Buck Up!!

 

Tonight was the Full Buck Moon, and these are the pictures I just got! The lines you see across it are thin wisps of clouds. It is called this because now is when the buck deer antlers come out. It is also called the full thunder moon because this month is usually when there is the most thunderstorms. I kinda like the thunder name better, how about you?

"Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth. He unleashes his lightening beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth. After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back. God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding." Job 37:2,5

Tent City

 What's up with tents around here? There are tents everywhere, people even camp in their own yards! And stores having tent sales. They seem to think that if you put something in a tent and announce it, people will fight over it to buy it! Literally, I don't think we can drive even a few blocks without passing at least one tent. I saw an interesting sermon on T.V. a while ago. It was about how the Israelites set up camp in the desert. God gave them specific instructions on the layout to place their tents, according to the tribes. And some people believe, after studying the numbers, that that layout made this pattern in the desert. This is a computer generated image that I snapped from the the T.V. Do you think they were living in the protection of the cross even then? It would certainly explain the following verse.

"How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob,
your dwelling places, O Israel!"
Numbers 24:5

Bleeding Hearts

Once upon a time, a young and poor man was in love with a beautiful and wealthy maiden. He gave her a pair of rabbits. She took them and thanked him, but said she didn't love him. Then he gave her a beautiful pair of silk slippers. She took them and thanked him, but told him she didn't love him. Then he spent all his money to buy her a beautiful pair of earrings. She took them, too, but still said she didn't love him. With nothing left to give, he took a knife and pierced his heart. And the first bleeding heart sprang up where he had died. The bleeding heart is from Asia, see the tiny drops of blood as they drip from the hearts? There is another one who was also pierced for us, but instead of growing a flower, it made all his believers immortal. And that's not just a fairy tale.


"But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."
1 John 1:7
