Windy, windy, did I mention it was Windy!
A pirate ship spotting! Well, a shrimp boat technically.
Myles is still trying to sing his song!
The famed haunt - fodder for bad dreams!
Oh my, lets turn this boat around!
Quick!
All 's well when the day ends on the beach!
Thanks to the rain, I have some time for reading The Shack by W. Young. It presents the trinity to a man who has experienced a great tragedy. Although fiction, I am finding it quite thought provoking and insightful. At one point, the person representing the Holy Spirit is commenting on the beauty of a poisonous flower. She offers it to Mack, the main character, who immediately tries to avoid it. She reminds him that all is safe - she is present. Mack touches it and asks if it would have been dangerous to touch it without her consent. The spirit says absolutely.
This is the part that struck a chord - "If I direct you to touch, that is different. For any created being, autonomy is lunacy. Freedom involves trust and obedience inside a relationship of love. So if you are not hearing my voice, it would be wise to take time to understand the nature of the plant." What comfort, my path - as long as it is ordained for me, is safe. God will not allow me to be harmed, no deadly thing shall poison me, when I am listening closely for his voice and following where He leads. Eamon, my little wildflower, is perfectly suited for me and I for him.

Okay...I had to skip the last 2 paragraphs of your post since I'm scheduled to start "The Shack" as soon as Shannon gets it to me. I'll reread this post after I'm done!
By the way, Zoe chose a seat right next to Maeve yesterday! I'm sure that'll last at least...oh...a day!
We are all reading The Shack here too! How funny - it has made its way through my Women's Bible Study and one of my best friends has just finished so it should be mine turn next. I loved all of your pictures. You are blogging so fast, I can't keep up! As you know school started here in my home (Tropical Storm or not) and so my computer time has decreased dramatically! Love the pictures - keep them coming.
