The place where God and earth and eternity intersect is timelessness and true beauty.
That place can be anywhere where your eyes are open, really open.
It is where your ears hear birds and wind, where your feet itch to keep moving.
Timelessness is the place of the heart, the yearning of the soul, the Voice of God.
Blessings, Lisa

These rocks beside the Atlantic Ocean are holding the line. The fury of the winds, rains, and storms push hard against these cliffs in Donegal. There might be erosion, but the cliffs at Horn Head stay.
Events in this world are also pushing hard, attempting to topple us, to cause us to compromise, to collapse us into the sea. The storm of spiritual warfare is actively raging. But our anchor holds. Jesus Christ will hold the line. And He holds us. Praise God. He is the Victor.
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” – Hebrews 10:23
“They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.” – 1 Timothy 3:9
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith, be men of courage; be strong.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” – Hebrews 6:19a
Hold the line. Blessings, Lisa
As you listen to this amazing classic by Bing Crosby, use each sheep in the picture to represent one of your blessings. And yes, I realize we are now counting sheep and blessings. Sorry, Bing. Wink, wink. I pray that you run out of sheep to count, and feel the peace and joy of Christ today. Blessings, Lisa

Overwhelmed
Undermotivated
Perplexed
Inadequate
But he picks up one stone
Puts it down
Picks up another, then another
Places it beside, atop
It has begun
One stone at a time
