Remnants, Memories

Posted on August 27, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

This is an abandoned home or inn nestled into the Gap of Dunloe in Ireland. It was grand in size, and must have been a fine place in its heyday. I love places like this; not sure why, but ruins always interest me more than perfectly preserved houses. I don’t know who lived here; I wish I did, but someone remembers them and tells fine stories about good times spent within these walls. Slainte, Lisa

P.S. Moral of the story? None of us are perfect; all of us have “crumbly bits.” But “do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.” (2 Corinthians 4:16) Hope indeed. 🙂

Pretty Cool Rocks

Posted on August 22, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

St. Lucia has some pretty awesome volcanic rock formations, and as you know, I love rocks. So here are some of my favorites.

The Keyhole

The Bat Cave

The Pirates of the Caribbean archway (yes, there’s no picture here, as our camera’s battery selected this moment to die out. But it was really, really cool!)

And the Two Pitons (giant volcanic rock mountains that my husband says he would love to climb someday 🙂 )

The roads here twist, turn, and climb, climb, climb. Exciting island with much to see. But sometimes things are easier to see by boat, which being on the water, is always my favorite way to go. Blessings on your day, Lisa

Journeys and Adventures

Posted on June 12, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

Have you ever packed a suitcase when you didn’t know where you were headed? Have you ever taken off on a car trip without planning your final destination, just drove and drove until you stopped? I have, and hope to again someday. It is a remarkably untamed, unplanned, and unpredictable feeling of an adventure. Scary at the outset if you are a planner, but sometimes just what we humans need to let go of control a little.

One day, when God calls me home at a time when He knows is best, I will be headed off on one of those grand adventures, not really sure what it will be like, but definitely sure that if Jesus is there, it will be amazingly great. And until that time, life is such a gift, and I’m going to try to love, and encourage, and enjoy, and see, and treasure as much as I can with God’s grace.

“You’re packing a suitcase for a place none of us has seen;

A place that has to be believed to be seen…

Walk on, walk on…what you got, they can’t deny it, can’t sell it or buy it…..walk on.”

(“Walk On,” U2, All That You Can’t Leave Behind)

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.” – 1 Corinthians 2:9

May God bless all of your life’s journeys and adventures with His love and mercy. Slainte, Lisa

Doorway to Adventure

Just a step, just crossing over the threshold, leads to a new adventure. Step boldly and in faith today. Slainte, Lisa

““Remember what Bilbo used to say: It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” – J.R.R. Tolkien

“Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.” – Leo Buscaglia Quotes

Would You Rather…The Actual

Posted on March 26, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

If you had to opt for one over the other, which would you choose?

1. Would you rather go a)paragliding or b) riding in an open cockpit airplane?

2. Would you rather a) eat an entire pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream or b) eat 16 peanut butter cookies fresh out of the oven?

3. Would you rather a) fly to the Fiji Islands tonight for 2 weeks or b) sail on a yacht to 3 different Caribbean islands, your time frame?

4. Would you rather a) be able to fly on your own power or b) be invisible when you chose to be? Have fun answering in the comments…and I look forward to having fun reading what you answer! 🙂 May all your choices be a little easier than these today. Slainte, Lisa
