The Sentries

No fences for these sheep; they took their sentry duties seriously and were not leaving their posts.  😉  Sheep lined the road evenly for a kilometer, quite careful to give their fellow comrades the needed personal space.

I pray that the things I’m meant to be guarding, my heart, my mind, my thoughts, my relationships…..that I will take my duties as seriously, yet with the same sense of trust in the One who is really guarding us all.  Slainte, Lisa

Upheld Even If You Fall

“Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

“But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble.”      ~Excerpts from Psalm 37

Watching the news is always an alarming thing these days.  Suffering, scary weather, scarier people, hurting people.  One passage of the Bible has been really ringing true for me lately…..Psalm 37.  I encourage you to read the whole thing when you have some time.  Praying for you, for me, for all of us to cling on to Jesus with all we have, because He is what will last in the end.  And the most excellent thing?  As much as we try to cling, He’s got us with his mighty hand and we can’t fall too far.  🙂  Blessings, Lisa

A lion, tiger and bear who are best friends at a Georgia animal rescue home.  This touches my heart, and challenges me.  Blessings to you today, Lisa

Pull Up the Drawbridge….More Rain Coming

A throw-back photo from Cahir Castle, when my son was a little man of seven, circa 2001.  995

Sure wish we had a strong drawbridge about now, or an ark would do fine also.  Multitudinous amounts of rain forecast here over the next few days.

Stay safe and dry in your castle.  Slainte, Lisa

Keeping Himself to Himself, That One

far and awaay

For all the poor reviews that the movie Far and Away received, there are a couple of scenes that totally entertain me and that I use in great frequency in my own life.  Here is the primary one of those.

Men from the pub, as Joseph enters:
Down from the north, are you?

Or perhaps the East?

West of here, maybe?

South.



Joseph Donnelly: I prefer to keep my business

to myself, if you please.


Men: Very wise.
Mr Christie enters:  What places you

in this small chapter of the world?


Men: He's keeping himself to himself,

that one.



There is a fine art to keeping oneself to oneself; it can come in  handy on multiple occasions.  Slainte, Lisa
