Telling Untold Stories in Photographs, Prose and Public Speaking
"In order to see birds it is necessary to become part of the silence."
Robert Lynd, Irish Writer, Literary Essayist
Yet- I've discovered the JOY of taking time to be still.
Early each morning, I drive my daughter, Faith, to swim practice. I park under a shady tree and have two hours to spend with the Creator of the Universe. It still amazes me that He cares to spend time with me!
My gardens also provide a beautiful place for me to be still and view the wonders of creation that God puts on display for us to enjoy.
"Be still , and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth."
King James Version

| We saved a coconut shell to use as a mini-birdbath. The birds like and and even our three puppies drink from it! |
Psalm 19:1-9
The Message Bible
1 God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit
across the horizon.
2 Madame
Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening.
3 Their
words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded,
4 But
their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. God makes a
huge dome for the sun - a superdome!
5 The
morning sun's a new husband leaping from his honeymoon bed, The daybreaking sun
an athlete racing to the tape.
6 That's
how God's Word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, Melting ice,
scorching deserts, warming hearts to faith.
7 The
revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together. The signposts of God
are clear and point out the right road.
8 The
life-maps of God are right, showing the way to joy. The directions of God are
plain and easy on the eyes.
9 God's
reputation is twenty-four-carat gold, with a lifetime guarantee. The decisions
of God are accurate down to the nth degree.
UNTIL ALL HIS CHILDREN
HAVE HOMES!
