This picture may be black & white but the day stands out vivid in my memory. My daughter and I were stunned by the drive up into Moll’s gap and we stopped at one of the lakes to get these shots with the Mountains of Killarney as our backdrop.

Here is my take on vivid:
Vivid-

: very bright in color

Share Your World 2015 Week #19
Here we are again at SYW! Each week our hostess, Cee asks five questions. As we answer them our worlds collide (gently of course). Read my answers below and then click the Share your world icon above and it will take you to a whole new level of sharing over at Cee’s blog!
Here are the questions!
Would you prefer a one floor house or multiple levels?
My home is a multi-level Edwardian style. I would love it to be a one level ranch.
If you have a TV, would you prefer the TV in the living room or another room?
The Living Room. I used to have one in the bed room and I find I am not a big fan of that.
When you leave a room, do you turn the lights off behind you or keep the lights on throughout your house most of the time? Explain your answer.
I try to turn the lights out except at night when I am making several trips from the living room to the kitchen ( because I am making snacks while I watch television of course). Then I leave the lights on in the kitchen.
What’s your favorite room in your home?
I think my favorite room is my bedroom. I do a lot of thinking, studying and napping there. It is my refuge from the world
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am very grateful to have been able to go to my son’s Masters graduation in PA last week. Here are some photos

Ailsa has asked us to get into the great OUTDOORS with our photos this week and since, as she has noted today is “Take a Walk In the Park Day.” I thought I would show you some of my walks in the parks.

The Daily Post: It’s Fresh and Exciting
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Fresh.”
The challenge is to find something FRESH today. I thought about bringing out pictures of this year’s fresh fallen snow; But honestly snow is not making me feel very fresh these days, just tired; So I decided to go with a fresh spring motif
Keukenhof Gardens, Lisse , The Netherlands
Fresh GreenOh! I am longing for these days!

Britain Abroad
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Study Abroad.”
Today the post has asked us this question, “If you were asked to spend a year living in a different location, where would you choose and why?”
I would like to spend a year travelling and studying in England, Wales and Scotland. I have been to both Ireland and the Netherlands. Great Britain stands deeply connected to both of those places.
I did spend a week preaching in the region around Liverpool in the ’90’s but I would like to go back and spend some time studying the Welsh revivals which in many ways gave rise to my own fellowship of Pentecostalism in America. I would like to visit the places where the Methodist and Presbyterian revivals had hold.
I’d love to spend some time at Oxford and return to the church in Liverpool where I preached before the turn of the Millenium. To have a whole year to study the faith of this ancient land would be really neat indeed!
