Of the Things to Come

"These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ."

{Colossians 2:17}

perhaps this week's theme, 'perspective', could have been 'shadows' in the end :) 

On the Winds Back

"I'll teach you to ride on the winds back..."

~Peter Pan

Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you.
- George Whitefield 

Across the Expanse

The solitude of Winter's morning light was wrought in colors unknown to Summer's eyes. 

New Horizons

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

Jeremiah 29:11

“Remember today, for it is the beginning of always..." - Walter Winchel

Use this time of fresh beginnings.
Use it as an impetus, the force or energy toward change.
Become stronger, a better leader, more focused in your thoughts.
Exert more influence over your dreams
by bringing them closer to your thoughts, every day.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” - Maria Robinson

“Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.” - James Dean

To January, and the New Year:

"Give, and it will be given to you. 

Good measure,

pressed down, 

shaken together,

 running over, 

will be put into your lap. 

For with the measure you use 

it will be measured back to you.”

{mat. 6:38}

It's January

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." Dr. Seuss

When In Rome

For our Christmas party at work, we went to a small Italian restaurant in downtown London called Fellini Koolini's. The whole restaurant was decorated with ivy, fruit and wine bottles to make it look more authentic. It was really cute but the lighting was low and the lens I had on my camera wasn't suitable to the light conditions so I didn't take pictures of the inside. However, as part of the theme there was this small clothesline hanging outside over the small ally between Fellini's and another restaurant. Even though it is of underwear the quaintness of it caught my eye and I had to take a picture.
