Places to Go and People to See

Posted on by

Take a good look at this picture of a street in Dingle, Ireland.  Click on it and blow it up really big so you can see all you need to.  I am always very curious as to what you focus on when you see it.  The cones perhaps and questions of why they are there?  The happy baby in the stroller?  Murphy’s Pub where you could settle down in a cozy snug and eat and drink and listen to some trad musicians?  Maybe the bright yellow shop at the end where you could look for the perfect souvenir or warm Aran sweater to take home?  It’s been so cool throughout the life of this blog to hear what different people see in a picture.  It really shows the wonderful myriad of personalities that God has made in this world, and how we’re so alike, but yet so unique.  🙂

After I hear from some of you, I will share what I focus on primarily.  Slainte, Lisa

Jet Streams and the Irish Classic Mineral Water Company

Posted on by

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I hereby present picture exhibit A… lovely jet streams.

And picture exhibit B…an empty bottle of Irish Classic Mineral Water Company’s sparkling pure Irish water with my cup containing said water beside it.

What possible link could there possibly be between the two you ask?  Has this blogger finally lost all sense of reason?

A jet stream remains in the sky, seen and witnessed as plausible proof that a jet had been there.  Yet this must be believed by faith sometimes, as the jet is long gone.

I tell you that the green cup contains the sparkling Irish water that was once in the bottle, yet you have to believe me and take it by faith that that is really what is in there.

Beautiful things all around us(blue skies, amazing creatures, storms, oceans, mountains, brand new babies, bird songs, music, true love, art, sunsets, etc)…………………………………………………………………………….Jesus.

Have a joyful time connecting the dots.  Slainte, Lisa

The Sound Before the Sight

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

Slainte, Lisa

Stones Crying Out

Posted on by

Stones are everywhere in Ireland.  Special ones, not so special ones.  Remnants of some great castle, and remnants of simple cottages.  Stones on the edge of a great sea cliff, and stones gathered throughout fields to contain the sheep and cattle.  The Burren is so filled with stones that you cannot walk two inches without stepping on one.

I have been listening this morning to U2’s “Gloria” and “Rejoice”.  Crying out in praise to God, making the choice to praise.  It reminds me of the passage where Jesus is talking to all those religious leaders.  The leaders are upset because His followers are praising God loudly for all His miracles that they had seen.  Jesus says, “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”  (Luke 19:40)

The stones in this picture of Mizen Head are definitely crying out to God in their stark beauty.  And I want to do the same.  Slainte, Lisa

Dolphins Dancing for Joy

I just saw this on Irish Central and had to share it.  These dolphins are so happy and full of joy; it will make you smile to watch them.  They were off the coast of Donegal, and the article said it was rare to see this many dolphins in this area.  Watch for the mother/baby swimming around around the 1:00 minute mark, and also the beautiful still shots in the sunset starting around 3:00 minutes.

“So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems..” (Gen. 1:21)     🙂  Slainte, Lisa
