Weekly Photo Challenge: What Takes Me Back?

THIS WEEK THE DAILY POST HAS CHALLENGED US TO DISPLAY PHOTOS THAT CREATE A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA.

You can click that link to see lots of nostalgic pictures. Here are mine. Perhaps they are so intensely personal to me they will inspire no  nostalgia in you, but then that is the nature of the beast, nostalgia. What stirs memory and passion in one person only reflects all that is mundane to another.

and moments that happen once in a lifetime.

All of these are nostalgia distilled and encapsulated never to be relived only reimagined around a table with friends.

the Highest Quest: Weekly Photo Challenge

This week the Daily Post has given us the challenge of depicting A QUEST.

To me all other journeys pale in comparison to the adventure that leads us to God. The quest into the soul…the interior.. the realm of the Spirit is the quest that leads us beyond these mortal coils into eternity.

I think the mistake so many of us make is in thinking that this journey is something that just happens to us automatically, but the quest for eternity must be the most intentional journey we ever engage in. Too many are lost in the darkness because they give no thought to pursuing the light.

Some think that all roads lead into the light of God. They would say, “Just pick a spiritual path and eventually you will find the light.”

 

But the truth  is only one True North for the soul exists. The pathway to the eternity God has put in our hearts has its start in the cross of Christ alone.

But the quest hardly ends at the cross. The fountain of Christ’s cleansing blood is only the head water for a might river that runs to an eternal ocean of God’s love. If you would find forever start at the cross and then as C.S. Lewis would say “go further in and deeper back!”

A Photo A Week Challenge: Sunrise.

I am making time this week to take part in some of the challenges I have not been able to play in for a while.

Nancy Merril has asked us to give her one photo of A SUNRISE. Just click the underlined link to find all the sunrises that Nancy’s contributors have offered.

My problem was not finding a sunrise to submit but narrowing it down to one.

This will do I guess.
