Know The Lord

I will place my laws in their minds,
        and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.
11     And each person won’t ever teach a neighbor
    or their brother or sister, saying, “Know the Lord,”
        because they will all know me,
            from the least important of them to the most important;

~Hebrews 8:10b-11

Mark 6:31

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”



The Mind of God

The mind of man conceiving the mind of God.

Sometimes Words are Not the Priority

Sometimes, words are not the priority. Sometimes it is enough just to be present. Sometimes, it is better to stay out of sight...Sometimes...

Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. So the sisters sent word to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick."

When he heard this, Jesus said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days.

Then he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea." ~John 11:1-7

  The Church Of Saint Lazarus 02 by ~Glooman 

There are times when we think that we need to speak into a situation right away; however, there are those times when God is calling us to simply be present or he delays our presence and our words. It doesn't make sense to us and we desperately want to do things our way, but God has other plans...He has plans to make the most of the situation, to His Glory.

Trust God, seek out His instruction feverently, and be obedient. He will manifest great and mighty works...you'll see...

Waters Will Flow

In the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall, streams of water will flow on every high mountain and every lofty hill.~Isaiah 30:25

How Creative Are You?

The circus tigers had all escaped, but refusing to be discouraged, the circus was determined to go on.

Do you think anyone will notice?

...Seriously though folks, no tigers escaped ;)

Some Pics from my Trip

Enchanted Rock, Texas

Enchanted Rock, climbing near the top...Peacock showing off for a peahen in Austin, Tx

Interesting trees in the heart of Austin...

A hidden view of the Colorado River

Me and my hat...

...and that's all:)

Seven Falls Colorado

Seven Falls Colorado

A slightly wet jaunt...quite invigorating after being in the car for so long! And though the afternoon was dreary, this natural wonder was absolutely what I needed! God's works are awesome!



I went up the elevator of one section to take this picture of the falls. You can see the stairs that you climb to the top of the falls on the left.

The canyon is incredible...you are boxed in on 3 sides by these humongous rock walls.

Trout in the river at the bottom of the falls. The river is more like a creek, narrow and shallow.

This is as far as this person got before he turned back...he climbed about the first 40 stairs...40 out of 184....not bad...

This is about half way up the falls, looking up...

This is half way looking down.

This is the very top looking back on the upper half.

This sign at the beginning (top) of the falls says, "City drinking water - no wading."

When I first entered the state of Colorado, I was disappointed with the view. I was wondering where all the mountains were. Just outside of Denver, I could see the outline of the snow capped mountains, but it wasn't until I got to the Colorado Springs area, did I become so awestruck with God's handiwork. I head further south tomorrow and I am looking forward to the continuing changes in the landscapes (and I am hoping to get some biking or at least some hiking in....).

And that's the word from my Journey thus far, for those of you who may be interested.
...For all others looking for a word of encouragement,

I heard on the radio today a saying that goes something like this: You need to believe in order to achieve. This struck a cord in me because I so often doubt myself. God's word says that "when he (we) asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:5-7 (in Context) I pondered this for several miles, questioning what I really believe about my circumstances, my relationship with God, about myself - what I want and what I am truly capable of...What is it that I need to believe in order to achieve what I hope to achieve?

It is food for thought and something I challenge you to ask yourself - What do you need to believe in order to achieve?
