A throw-back photo from Cahir Castle, when my son was a little man of seven, circa 2001. 
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
Part of the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. Big, grand, dramatic, fit for a giant. For those of you possibly afraid of giants; no worries, none spotted on this trip. 😉 Lisa
We all crave safety and security. Some of us are more adventurous than others, but no matter what adventure you may take, it sure is nice to be snug inside the place you call home with a nice warm cup of tea in your hands. Through the ages of time on this planet called Earth, people have come up with all kinds of ways to feel safe….castles, walls, ring forts, round towers, weapons, tunnels. But there is an amazing secret, yet not secret, protection plan that never will fail. Yes, you may get hurt sometimes, you may have pain or sickness, but nothing will happen to you that does not strengthen you and make you better. Want to know?

And you will be safe within his castle walls, forever. Blessings, Lisa

“We all hunger for stillness, whether we know it or not. There is a great attack on us to distract us from this powerful place with God. Be still and know that He is God.” ~based on Psalm 46:10
I long for this, for the peace, the quietness, the nothing for a time…..listening for the small still voice of God in the quiet. Blessings, Lisa
