My Trip to the Bahamas

Just kidding... but I did take this picture. Can anyone guess what this is a picture of and where it was taken? ;-)

The person who gets the right answer will receive a postcard of the place.

No pictures today. I couldn't put them up if I had any. My Amish landlord plowed up the internet cable today! Conspiracy perhaps...? So I'm on Modem over Bluetooth link with my Verizon cell phone. Like dial -up. It's not too bad, unless you're trying to post pictures or watch videos.

But, yes, I'm still hangin' in here, watching the autumn season move in, gently but firmly shoving summer out of the way. I know winter is at it's heals, waiting to take a foothold. The firewood pile is growing, but not as fast as I'd like. Some sunny days this week, but chill nights and shortened days can be depressing to the spirit. Do you ever feel like you are in an autumnal season of life? Everything that was bright and warm has been turning drab gray, and chills the soul. I seems like all I have to look forward to is harder days, increasing trials.

But don't stand there with that glum face, making greasy spots on the rain-streaked window with your nose.

A good time to curl up by the fire and enjoy the warmth of fellowship with believers.
Let faith cover you from the cold rains. Faith reminds you of the bright sun above those dreary skies.
Drink the warm soup of the Word of God and let it nourish and strengthen you.

Then go out and face into those winds of adversity. Lean on the mighty arm of God and fight your way through. The exercise is good for you.

Spring is only five months away. Followed closely by summer.

I can't wait.

On an Ohio Morning

Verse of the Day:Psalms 143:8


Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

 Horses and cattle grazing in the dewy rich grass. A rooster crows over the hill somewhere. A fiery red disc ascends in the east to slowly waken the mist-shrouded hills and valleys. The air  full of the melodies of birds, with the occasional rhythmic stacatto of horseshoes and quiet rumble of buggy wheels along the winding, narrow roads.The corn tassels glow across the rolling acres in the red-orange sunrise. The air is perfect. It will be hot and sultry later, but I drink in the moments of beauty and cool freshness while I can, as I walk along the road with my friend. What more could a heart atune with God wish for?

This is Holmes County, Ohio.  Enjoy.
