Hearing the sound before the sight
The whirling notes of a great fan in the air
Looking up to see a mass of flight above
Small birds in size, but mighty in number
Flying as one body,with one direction, waving on the wind
The sky rejoices that God has put them there
God rejoices that we notice
We rejoice to see and know and love more

Time is precious; time is fleeting. Some days go quickly, while others drag on. Yet the sum of life is short. But before you get too morose in reading this, there is an answer to this, there is more to our story. “He has made everything beautiful in its time. God has also set eternity in the hearts of men.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11a) and better yet….
Jesus said to her(Martha): “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)
What about you? What do you think? Do Jesus’ words make you happy and want to dance, or does this freak you out because you don’t want to hear it or believe it? If its the second choice, just sit on it awhile, don’t make a quick decision. Because He loves you so much, even if you don’t always feel it. He wants to give you a hope for your future…an endless future with no ending and eternal joy and peace. A future where you don’t have to be afraid ever again. Slainte, Lisa

“The Sea Rolls On”
Oh, the sea rolls on like our God in heaven above
He goes on and on, never leaving, never tiring
Oh, the mighty Love of God reaching down to us
Oh, the sea rolls on like our God in heaven above

Drawn to the sea so that we can hear His voice.
Listen………………………………can you hear Him? Slainte, Lisa

“Green are the hills of Ireland and green they will always stay. Warm are the blessings wished for you and they’ll always be that way.”
You always hear about the green in Ireland, so much so that you begin to think that it is a cliche, an overexaggeration promoted for tourism. (ahh…what cynics we can sometimes be 🙂 ) But check out these pictures before deciding for yourself….the greenest of greens. The only way you won’t like it is if you don’t like green. But that of course is ridiculous, as green is the most amazing color ever created! 🙂

The nearby mermaid lagoon 🙂
Green leaves as big as elephant’s ears!
So there you go….the end of your green cynicism forever. I am happy now. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
In all these photographs, I am drawn to the light. I want to be in the green place, the place with sunlight warming my skin, the place where I can see clearly. When a child or any of us feel afraid, we are drawn to put on a light, and it calms us.
“Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going. Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light.” – Jesus, John 12:35b-36
“I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” – Jesus, John 12:46
“I am the light of the world.” – Jesus, John 9:5b
“In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.” -John 1:4-5
Run to the Light, and don’t look back. Slainte, Lisa
