Shameless Plug

Posted on by

The new CD is here!  I’m very excited, and hope that you will like the new songs and be encouraged.  This will be a “shameless plug” post, and for that, I apologize.  🙂

 The CD is available via check or paypal via this website, just click on the “Flight of Freedom” tab at the top of my home page.  It also will be available on Amazon and itunes this weekend, hopefully.  Those of you who live locally, the CD is at the Culpeper United Methodist Church office and Kk’s on the corner of Davis and Main St.

What does it sound like?  Is it any good?  Why should I buy it?  These are all questions I ask myself before buying a new CD.  I honestly cannot answer any of these questions very well; everytime I hear it I think, “Well, there’s me again.”

It sounds like….someone who loves love, and God, and Ireland, and music, especially celtic music.

It is as good as I can make it with what God has given me at this time…I pray it’s good enough to encourage you in your walk.

Should you buy it?  I should say yes, but that is totally up to you.  🙂

Ok, tomorrow I will be as back to normal as I am able.  Thanks for reading and considering.  🙂  Slainte, Lisa

Can You See It?

What do you see in the rock?

 

Good job if you said “elephant”.  If you said something else, you’re probably just more creative than the rest of us.  🙂  If you didn’t see him, look again, his trunk is on the left, and he’s laying down in the grass, chilling out by the lake.

When I was younger I used to lay in the grass and look for shapes in the clouds and the tree leaves above my head.  I haven’t done that in far too long.  It’s funny as you get older, you worry about the bugs or ticks that may be crawling on you, and you forget how to just relax and enjoy laying in the summer  grass.  I need to change that in the next few days.

Enjoy your summer day.  Slainte, Lisa

Back to Ireland

“Back to Ireland”

Oh, I wish I could go back to Ireland to the greenest fields I’ve ever seen

And I’d walk on the road out of Doolin to watch the wild waves on the sea

My eyes long to see loughs of Kerry as the sheep gather ’round them to drink

Of the pure crystal water of Ireland & go on their way as I dream

I would stop on Dublin’s streets just to listen to the singer as he sings his lovely song

Then sit near a warm roaring fire and hear a story from so long ago

Oh I wish I could go back to Ireland to the castles that stay in my mind

All the people that passed through their hallways & lived, loved & laughed on her shores

I would stop into a church on a hilltop surrounded by the high crosses there

And sit for a while and just listen to the small, still voice of God

Two Hearts Are Better Than One

My husband found this double-hearted leaf yesterday and brought it to me.

It had fallen from a tree and was laying, unappreciated, in the grass until then.

The leaf’s hearts are delicate, and easily torn and ruined without care and love.

And sadly, by this morning, it was starting to dry up and wither apart from its tree, the vine, the branch which gave it life.

Love is like that.  We need each other to be tender, nurturing and caring in order to live and thrive and grow properly.  We need to appreciate each other and not let others just lay around unseen.  We need desperately to be hooked up to our life source, Jesus, who gives us abundant life beyond imagining.

Find your leaf today and love it and nurture it and really see it.  Slainte, Lisa

Ireland’s AC

As I sit here contemplating the upcoming 104 degree day here in the States, I am remembering fondly the wind and the temperatures of Ireland.  Now for those of you in Ireland who have had your share of wind and rain this summer, you would probably switch with me right now.  However, this video I found on YouTube made me feel much cooler as I watched it and imagined myself standing on that cliff in Co. Donegal, feeling the bracing and cleansing wind.  Enjoy the wind and the waves and God’s amazing power.  Slainte, Lisa
