Is Your…?

Is your eye drawn to the blue in the sky, the oncoming or outgoing storm cloud, or the angel rays coming down on the left of the picture? Comment below. I love hearing how others see things. God made all of us to be such individuals, seeing the world in our own ways. 🙂 This picture was taken standing on the rocks on the outskirts of Doolin, Ireland. Slainte, Lisa

P.S. The Ballycarberry castle ruin won by a substantial margin yesterday over Cahir Castle as your go-to place for the day. Thanks for traveling with me yesterday! 😉

Do You…?

Given the choice to explore one of two castles for the day, do you pick

the restored and maintained Cahir Castle

or the Ballycarberry Castle ruin?

Both great castles in their own uniqueness. Answer in the comments below and tell me about your imaginary travel day. Have fun climbing the stony, windy staircases in your mind. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

P.S. Yesterday’s cliff cave poll was tied….half of you would ask many questions, and half would stay in the boat. Only one brave person would jump out and go, no questions asked. 🙂 In case you were wondering, me…water….boat…no question where I’m staying!

Would You…?

A bit of hypothetical fun for your Monday morning….presented for your consideration is a small cave at the base of a St. Lucia cliff. A small boat takes you to this opening, and gives you the opportunity to explore the unknown cave and will wait for your (possible) return. Take the poll below, and I’ll let you know what I would do later. (although you can probably guess 🙂 ) Slainte, Lisa

Yearning

Posted on May 9, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Yearning, reaching, craving, longing

When all I need is right beside me, within me

Jesus is there, here, everywhere

Just a breath, a prayer away

Waiting to be all I need, all I want

Rest

Everywhere is Home to Someone

When I travel, I tend to forget that everywhere I go is still home to someone. People live there, work there, get born there, go through good and bad times there. I’m taking pictures like there’s no tomorrow, taking it all in like fresh air. But to others, it’s what they see everyday and fight not to take for granted. I’ve noticed it where I live also. We live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and while I’m very used to the sight of the mountains, the hiking, the babbling rivers, others will travel in cars and big tour buses to stay in little cabins out here and experience it. So no matter where you’re living today, where you call home is special. I’m going to try to appreciate my corner of the world a little more today. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa
