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

Stone Upon Stone

Ballycarbery Castle

Cahergal Fort, Cahirciveen

Look at the intricacy and sheer number of rocks that make up these Irish walls. When you really examine them, it is overwhelming how much time, work and thought went into these structures. And it is also amazing how many thousands of years these structures have withstood Ireland’s invaders, winds, rains, and other natural decayers. It makes me glad that they are there, solid, enduring, testament to lives lived. It makes me glad that we have a solid rock in Jesus, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, solid, enduring, and always with us. Blessings, Lisa

Happy in the Rocky Places

Antigua

I’ve always been impressed by trees and flowers that can hang on and thrive in rocky inhospitable places. At first, I begin to feel sorry for them, but then I realize that that is ridiculous, as these strong little miracles are amazing, and strong, and happy where they’re planted. The wind blows, the soil is far down, but they grow deep roots and grow. And they tell us so much. 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

Where the Streets Have No Name

If this cliffside pathway can be considered a street, then this one definitely has no name. (except maybe Scary and Beautiful, altogether) I put forth that it could be a street, as a street is a pathway, a way to journey or travel. And as you see, my son definitely did travel and achieve his destination, along the rocky path on to the edge of Ireland. May God bless your streets and pathways today with crossable rocks and journeys abundant! 🙂 Slainte, Lisa

Stones Crying Out

Posted on August 23, 2012 by lyonsroarforgod

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
