This week the Daily Post has challenged us to photograph ORDER.
You can click the link above to see how the rest of the blogosphere has ordered itself. Or you can find individual blogs to check out below. Here are my thoughts on order…
I love order. I just like to arrange it to look like chaos.- JE Lillie
There are few things more chaotically ordered than nature.- JE Lillie
There is something so orderly about a room crammed with books don’t you think?
This week Cee is asking us to HAVE FUN WITH THE HOT AND COLD THEME.
Here are my offerings.
Brr. Chilly!
Oh I’m melting!
This week the Daily Post has asked us to give a pictorial view of the word HERITAGE IN OUR WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.
You can click that link to see how heritage is playing out across the world stage.
My family heritage goes back here in New England to the Revolution at least. There have been Lillies in the Pioneer Valley and North central MA for well over a hundred years.
This is the grave of the first Joseph Elon Lillie in Erving MA. The name has been passed down to six generations.
But the family heritage has left us more than a name. It has left us a calling. My great great and so forth grandfather (not a Lillie but a Tandy) was an itinerant preacher throughout our area during the holiness movement, back just before 1900. I believe it was his prayers that have bourne fruit in my family and called us to a godly heritage.
I have answered the call to ministry and have spent my life’s work here in North Central MA.
My sister has likewise answered the call and is a missionary in The Netherlands
My three children are all graduates from Bible College.
My son Joe is a teacher in South Korea and an active member of his church there. My daughters are the Rev. Amanda Lillie and the Rev. Melanie Franklin both working in children’s ministry in their churches.
I believe this thing called ministry is not an achievement. It is a heritage a thing conferred first by God and I believe by the prayers of generations past. I am so thankful that this is our life and our heritage.

This week’s Fun Foto Challenge With Cee is about the Sky.
You can see lots of skies with Cee by clicking the link above. My sky photos are below along with a few quotes I like about the sky.
I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more. Anne Frank
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Victor Hugo
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement. Marcus Garvey
