Color Your World Shocking Pink

As I once again try to catch up with the color challenge I am actually wondering whether or not I will find anything SHOCKING PINK in my archives.

Here is the shade and my attempts at matching it. Let’s see how well I can do

OK so maybe shocking pink wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. You can find other “pinkertons” by clicking the underlined link above.

When Your Heart Is Disturbed

This is for that reader who’s day has gone off the rails a bit. Isaiah the prophet counsels you with these words,

This is what the Sovereign LORD,

the Holy One of Israel, says:

“Only in returning to me

and resting in me will you be saved.

In quietness and confidence is your strength. Isa. 30:15

So don’t look to the world or for worldly solutions to bail you out. Look to Him and remember

The LORD is the everlasting God,

the Creator of all the earth.

He never grows weak or weary.

No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

29He gives power to the weak

and strength to the powerless.

30Even youths will become weak and tired,

and young men will fall in exhaustion.

31But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength.

They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint.

Isa. 40:28-31

It is going to be all right!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge Or Life On the Freeway

Cee has asked us to go out onto THE HIGHWAYS OF LIFE and show her the pictures we brought back from there.

I have to admit I am a country mouse and not a big fan of the free way. That said I have been on a few of them.
