St. Paul’s Chapel, NYC You only need to take a glance at this place to know it’s special… George Washington once worshipped here… this place also saw the worst of 9/11, and brought out the best in those who came here to help others recover from it.

This tree remains perhaps where many once stood. Those settling this region in the 1800’s need fields to plant crops. To clear ground for the fields they need to remove the trees and underbrush. They didn’t do this all at once but over a period of time. The saplings and underbrush could be cut away by their axes. A large tree like this was removed by “girdling”. 2 rings were cut around the base of the tree about 6 feet apart. Then all the outer bark was stripped off, causing the tree to die. Once dead it would remain in place till it feel. They were able to plant crops around the tree. In its leafless, dead state sun was allowed to reach the crops. Once it had fallen they could use the wood for cooking and heating. The Cherokee also used similar methods and also would slash and burn areas to remove the dead trees and underbrush…..during the time it took for the tree to die and fall, the many many rocks would be removed and placed in piles or fence rows. This was usually a chore for the kids……………..this I guess is my 2ad favorite tree in Cades Cove,Great Smoky Mountain NP

Most of us can remember a farm we used to love to visit or a farm we once called home. Whatever the case, this nostalgic scene brings back memories of simpler times and family ties. I talked to the elderly couple who built this barn. It’s over 50 years old, they told me; they built it themselves. Their house burned down and was rebuilt, but the old barn survived and still stands, a page in a memory book that will never be erased.

i had what was probably my most distressing day in marrakech…..saddened and sometimes even a little angered by what i had seen going on around me. the treatment of the animals, the treatment of eachother…..i decided to head back home…..i wanted nothing more than to get out of there on the next train…...i saw this guy up ahead of me and thought for a moment about what being surrounded by this everyday does to your head…...you couldn’t live here and maintain the level of empathy that we can allow ourselves to feel at home….. with safety nets, animal rights and the rest of it….these things don’t exist here…...not because these people are mean spirited….but simply because they are too busy trying to survive…..i thought…..how long would it take to errode my compassion…...? / / .....a part of my someone series

Tharcula is an old and very large pocket of pastrol land in the Gawler Ranges National Park. The area covers 1200sq miles and is dotted with quite a few ruins. Because of it’s size a few houses were dotted around it for pastrolists to manage different sectors of the property. This one in particular is smaller but was used to accomidate workers while they were far away from the more regular residences. This is in the middle of no where the next building is 50km away through some of the roughest country I have yet to encounter.

Never give up…ENDURE till the END!

These ancient live oaks have stood their ground for a long time, surviving hurricanes, intense heat, bitter cold, and every test that time can dish out. When I look at them, I’m filled with a sense of respect for them and encouraged to stand firm through my own trials.

created for the art show entitled Fusion at my church – Flipside We just got through reading through the book of Samuel in our bible study group. It’s been tough… reconciling God in the Old Testament, who seems so harsh and distant, and Jesus in the New Testament, who seems much gentler, forgiving, and much more compassionate. Perfect love and absolute righteousness… being able to love somebody no matter who they are… yet being so righteous that even the slightest sin will never see the inside of Heaven… Those two things just seem so incompatible, but that’s God for you – a deep ocean of contradictions, holiness, and otherness that I need to hold on to – even if holding on to something so beautiful will hurt me so deeply – because I know that if I let go of it, there’s nothing in this world that could provide a worthy substitute for it. But then it’d be foolish of me to think that Christ would love me without challenging me to do things that seem impossible… It’d take quite a while to fully explain what this means to me… although I was partially inspired by Depeche Mode’s song entitled Judas, which sums it up particularly well, especially when Dave sings “Walk on barefoot for me/ Suffer some misery/ If you want my love/ If you want my love” Judas Is simplicity best / Or simply the easiest? / The narrowest path / Is always the holiest / So walk on barefoot for me / Suffer some misery / If you want my love / If you want my love Man will survive / The harshest conditions / And stay alive / Through difficult decisions / So make up your mind for me / Walk the line for me / If you want my love / If you want my love Idle talk / And hollow promises / Cheating Judases / Doubting Thomases / Don’t just stand there and shout it / Do something about it You can fulfil / Your wildest ambitions / And I’m sure you will / Lose your inhibitions / So open yourself for me / Risk your health for me If you want my love… If you want my love… If you want my love… If you want my love…

You’re not alone / Together we stand / I’ll be by your side, you know I’ll take your hand / When it gets cold / And it feels like the end / There’s no place to go / You know I won’t give in / No I won’t give in Keep holding on / ‘Cause you know we’ll make it through, we’ll make it through / Just stay strong / ‘Cause you know I’m here for you, I’m here for you / There’s nothing you could say / Nothing you could do / There’s no other way when it comes to the truth / So keep holding on / ‘Cause you know we’ll make it through, we’ll make it through So far away / I wish you were here / Before it’s too late, this could all disappear / Before the doors close / And it comes to an end / With you by my side I will fight and defend / I’ll fight and defend / Yeah, yeah Keep holding on / ‘Cause you know we’ll make it through, we’ll make it through / Just stay strong / ‘Cause you know I’m here for you, I’m here for you / There’s nothing you could say / Nothing you could do / There’s no other way when it comes to the truth / So keep holding on / ‘Cause you know we’ll make it through, we’ll make it through Hear me when I say, when I say I believe / Nothing’s gonna change, nothing’s gonna change destiny / Whatever’s meant to be will work out perfectly Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne

Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.
by Bonnie Taylor BarryUS$4.99–US$114.00
Psalm 30:5 is such a comforting verse, a reminder that grief has its season and then changes to gentler times. I would like to dedicate this to Bianca Thomas who lost her beloved husband. May you be comforted by the angels and strengthened as you grieve.
