Let the Sheep Speak!

Posted on February 19, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

It has been far too long since I have had a sheep post, and I will now rectify that situation forthwith! For your viewing and voting pleasure, I present three sheep pictures. Please vote for your favorite in the comments section below. Of course, I know that some of you will vote based on scenic value, and others will vote purely for the look of the sheep, but that’s ok. I’m no scientist. 😉 I will now let the sheep speak for themselves, and may the best sheep win! Slainte, Lisa

Signing the Wall

Posted on February 18, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Yep, I’m a big U2 fan. And yep, we signed the U2 Wall in Dublin. If you look closely at my then 7 year old son’s facial expression, he was rather horrified that his normally law-abiding parents were writing on a wall. Why post this? U2 were guests on Jimmy Fallon’s first show last night, and were fairly awesome. 🙂 Whatever kind of music you like, crank it up and enjoy a song right now. It will help your mood, I promise.

Protection

Posted on February 17, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

When you are in the Caribbean, sun protection is crucial. The sun is warm and beautiful and relaxing, but can also pack quite a punch on your skin. So the weathered palm branch huts, the sheltering trees along the edges of the soft white beaches, all provide that welcomed protection after swimming in the perfectly clear blue waters for a while.

When I was younger I used to see God’s guidelines as restrictions, laws, things that were no fun and not very loving. But with time, I now see that God’s guidelines are full of love, protection, mercy, and grace. Because He loves me, He wants me to be safe, to be protected. How wonderful. Like sitting under a big palm tree on a hot sunny beautiful day. Slainte, Lisa

Finnegan’s Snow Day

Posted on February 14, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Being 3 months old, being a puppy, having your whole world turn snowy overnight…Finnegan having an awesome day! Hope your day ahead is full of adventure and new things. Slainte, Lisa

Having scaled the snowy mountain, Finnegan holds fast, legs braced.

“I know that grass is down here somewhere!” Finnegan digs in vain.

Finnegan surrenders to the comforts of a warm couch and a nap.
