"Scotland Feet"

What constitutes "pretty feet"?....
What constitutes a "pretty big head"?...:)
Is it a sign of ones head being pretty big when he or she sits around admiring and comparing his or her own feet??
Could it mean you have to much time on your hands.?.?...

Or maybe another perspective would be... taking a load off while having a ton of fun on vacation! :)

Creeping Christians

We are and remain such creeping Christians, because we look at ourselves and not at Christ; because we gaze at the marks of our own soiled feet, and the trail of our own defiled garments….Each, putting his foot in the footprint of the Master, and so defacing it, turns to examine how far his neighbor’s footprint corresponds with that which he still calls the Master’s, although it is but his own. Or, having committed a petty fault, I mean a fault such as only a petty creature could commit, we mourn over the defilement to ourselves, and the shame of it before our friends, children, or servants, instead of hastening to make the due confession and amends to our fellow, and then, forgetting our own paltry self with its well-earned disgrace, lift up our eyes to the glory which alone will quicken the true man in us, and kill the peddling creature we so wrongly call our self.

A “Creeping Christian”, this I am! Oh, that I would be humbled before God, and man…but sadly the humbling I fear the most is that which is before my friends…I would hope to be humbled before God, but have my friends not know...Christ forgive me!?!…as I still think of myself and fear what a person might think rather than what God thinks. So, when I am humbled, may I look to Christ rather than once again being “shocked” by my sin.

A Beautiful Sunrise

There are questions of what should be today? Where should I be tomorrow? Who is coming? Who is leaving? ...If things are good today, then why do I fret about tomorrow? Do I think He won't hold that too. If the evening comes before the day (as I am daily given a reminder by the sunrise after a dark night), ...........why then do I not hope?

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
What does the worker gain for his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

"My heart was saying, 'Lord, take away this longing, or give me that for which I long.' The Lord was answering, 'I must teach you to long for something better.'
'...He fed you on manna which neither you nor your fathers had known before, to teach you that man cannot live on bread alone but lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.'
God knew that giving me Jim when I wanted him would not provide the far more important training I needed for things to come. It was in learning to eat the Living Bread, sufficient always for one day at a time (not in advance for the five years I feared) that I was taught and disciplined and prepared for later things."
-by Elisabeth Elliot in Passion & Purity

If everything is lost, thanks be to God
If I must see it go, watch it go,
Watch if fade away, die
Thanks be to God that He is all I have
And if I have Him not, I have nothing at all
Nothing at all, only a farewell to the wind
Farewell to the grey sky
Goodbye, God be with you evening October sky.
If all is lost, thanks be to God,
for He is He, and I, I am only I.
-by Julian, friend of the Vanauken's from the book "A Severe Mercy".

things i never knew i always wanted

Welcome to my Blog!
Finally I'm here. I was really beginning to wonder if I would EVER have my own Blog; for the simple reason..."with a Blog, comes many important decisions"! You should have read that with the sound of an echo and the image of a parent standing above their child, telling them of important responsibilities they must face...but that is only how I felt...what was really happening, was my sister sitting at the computer saying, "so what do you want your password to be?" and "now what about your display name, you know the name you want to be at the bottom of your post"...AH!!! stop right there! too many questions...just make the background black while I get us some tea!

So, please bear with me...I'm new at this. :)
