The Beautiful Sea

The sea hath no king but God alone.

My soul is full of longing for the secrets of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.

Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.

Pretty Cool Rocks, Part Two

Bathsheba, Barbados is a coral island filled with lots of cool but rather sharp rocks.  And so, we were compelled to take lots of pictures of them, and now share them with you.  If you like rocks, you’ll like these.  If not, ask yourself….rocks, what’s not to love?  😉  Have an awesome day, Lisa

Pretty Cool Rocks

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

What We’re Aware Of

The people in this village on St. Lucia were not aware of our small boat out at sea, and if they did see us, they probably thought, “Oh, another boat.”  We saw the village, the little dots of houses built into the hillside, but we thought, “Oh, what a nice little village,” took the picture, and gave the people there no more thought.  Yet all of the people on the boat had lives they were living and dealing with, and all of the people in the village had the same.  But we all get so wrapped up in what we can see, what we’re living and doing.  Somehow, it’s comforting to me to know that so many other people are going through similar things like me in this world.  I may not know them, but they’re there.  And God sees us all, and is guiding us through the maze, through the things we can’t see and aren’t aware of, to a beautiful ending.  Blessings, Lisa
