Writing, too
In my previous blog I shared that photography was my craft. I like to photograph things that evoke thought or awe. Being in Europe has brought a lot of AWEsome pictures I’ll be sharing when I get back. But I’m also a pretty good writer. You might not know that because my blog isn’t really…

What’s my craft?
Photography, that’s my craft. But it’s not my calling. Thirty plus years ago, I had a calling. I was baptized for the second time and dedicated my heart to God after witnessing the work he was doing in my 5 yr old daughter. I jumped in with everything I had. Singer in the choir was…

Psalm 51
The Lord brought me this Psalm the other day during “bible roulette.” Honestly, I’m still working on memorizing the first line because I think it’s what I needed to hear most. “Create in me a pure heart, O God” My ADHD makes it hard to stay on topic most days. Let alone for a lifetime.…

When in Greece…
When I arrived at my apartment rental in Greece, I was literally salivating for fresh Tzatziki. That creamy mix of yogurt and other stuff. It got me to thinking. It’s practically just yogurt and cucumber. Why is it that Americans use it like a condiment? This american, anyway. Yogurt is healthy for us. Cucumber is…

Is Judas Iscariot in Heaven?
I got to thinking about this today, so I googled it. “Everyone” says no. But I don’t agree. Well, I also can’t say without a doubt that he IS in heaven. Only God knows the hearts of men. But here is what I do know. All accounts of Judas’ betrayal say that after he turned…

Ruins of Pompeii
Pompeii was a city demolished when Mt Vesuvius erupted. There is a LOT of information about the ultimate excavation that I won’t get into. Before you enter the UNESCO site, you go through a scanner just like at the airport. Thankfully I arrived about 10 minutes before a bus load. I saw a few people…

The trip of a lifetime.
I am truly blessed to be able to travel this journey. But none of it would have been possible without God. I don’t want to lose sight of that, and I feel I may have. I did a lot today. I traveled along the coast and saw some beautiful views, the ones he created. The…

Wow, Italy
And I don’t mean that in a good way. I was getting a little tired of traveling constantly. I thought I’d go get some sandy beaches in Crete. But that wasn’t in the cards. Italy has plenty of beaches and other sites I want to see. I got an apartment, suite with balcony. Silly me…

French Riviera
I’m currently sitting on the beach of Nice, France. It’s much warmer here than it has been in England, Scotland, or Ireland. I’ve actually taken the lining out of my coat. The water is so calm, as far as the eye can see. It would be lovelier if there were no people. Lol Getting out…

Eurail
Well, what do I have to say about the Eurail Pass at the moment. It’s a little confusing, even though I thought I was prepared. Spontaneity needs to be planned. LOL The sleeper trains need reservations, and they make it sound super easy. However, they don’t tell you how quickly the sleeper berths are sold…
