Irish Music and Dance…It’s Universal

Most people have seen or heard about “Riverdance” and the phenomenom of Irish dancing and music shows that have sprung up since.  Evidently, it has even spread far south to the penguin population.  Here’s a bit of a laugh to start off your Monday.  Enjoy!  Lisa

A Reflection of Greatness

The sea is seemingly endless, and is a true reflection of its Creator.  Pictures cannot capture the enormity of the reality, just like we cannot even begin to understand God.  But He has given us so many ways to begin and to see and to love.

“Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them.”  -Isaiah 42:10

Be the bird

“If you’re a bird, then I’m a bird!”  The main characters in the movie “The Notebook” are running and laughing on the beach, in love and happy.  The girl acts like she is flying through the waves and shouts, “I’m a bird!”  The boy, laughing lovingly at her, has to be a bird with her, no other choice.  If she is a bird, he is also.  One without the other is unthinkable, unimaginable.

The longing to fly, to soar, to leave the confines of gravity and take off through the beautiful skies are common themes for us humans.  The good news is that if you love Jesus, you will fly.  You will take off with Him and fly forever.  Be the bird.  🙂

“We…will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  And so we will be with the Lord forever.”  (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

“I will fly with Jesus; I will soar.  Wrapped in mercy, love and truth & more.  Joy found in Him forever.  I will fly….I will fly…”  (c2012 Lisa Lyons, “I Will Fly”)

Stillness with power

You won’t feel its power until you step in.  Your feet move past the intitial gentle breaker, and you feel the water surrounding you and the sand under your feet.  You let your body float, let the water carry you for a time.  Your mind clears, your worries seem very far away.  You just feel the water, the sun on your face, the gentle rhythm of the small waves, and the weightlessness.

“Be still and know that I am God.”  (Psalm 46:10)  If I can be still and quiet and listen, I can feel God’s power and love for me.  When I am floating on His ocean, I am closer to being quiet and still than in any other place on earth.
