Home

"A house is merely a shell, home is what is inside."

   Everyone has a story.  Some are shared, while others remain untold...leaving us to imagine what may have been, what could've been, what should've been...

The story of behind this picture was lost long ago.

 Therefore we're left with the options of either creating one ourselves, or leaving it untold.

 But whatever we choose, we will always wonder what the real story was.

"To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment."

Jane Austen

I think I have vintage on the mind, I'll try to put up something more modern next time.

Church in the Wildwood

The old church in the cove stood tall, its large wooden doors open. Inside, it was stripped down, bared-boned; the dark wooden pews worn from centuries of age and prayer. Here, in this silent monument of history we had come, washed in the glow of afternoon light and the oppressive beauty of an enchanted place.  

It was here that his music rang out, out of the open door, the worn rafters; the current age occupying a remnant of the past one. The story of the Cross the same now as it was then--from everlasting to everlasting. We lay our burdens down here, at the foot of the cross. We occupy, in wonder, the hollowed-out structure, the aged bones of this cove; we occupy, in wonder, the hallowed beauty of where He has chosen to place His name.

Clouds From The West

"And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say , There cometh a shower; and so it is ."

Luke 12:54

Beneath these paper clouds

It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are...than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.

Henry David Thoreau

In the presence of eternity, the mountains are as transient as the clouds.

Robert Green Ingersoll

I would not fear nor wish my fate, but boldly say each night, tomorrow let my sun his beams display, or in clouds hide them; I have lived today.

Abraham Crowley

So, a crazy thing happened today. Pittsburgh was virtually cloudless. Weird, huh? The sky was almost unrecognizable without them...so I improvised. :)

who would have thought that all the rainy days would dry up

just in time for a cloud assignment?

We must content ourselves with the billows of spring growth

 and the contrails of sky-journeys. 

"Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.” - Johann Wolfegang von Goethe

         “We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.” 

- Russell M. Nelson
