Here is what came out of my fog:
Whitney’s Pond From Ingleside Winchendon MA
“God is here, right now, at our side. We can see him in this mist, in the ground we’re walking on, even in my shoes. His angels keep watch while we sleep and help us in our work. In order to find God, you have only to look around.”
― Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
Eagle Heights, WInchendon MA
Robert Bridges
Zaanse Schans, the Netherlands
“To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.”
As I started to compile photos for this week’s travel theme from Ailsa which is: Pink
I came a cross a bunch of photos which I labeled “pink” but as I looked at them I had to ask myself, “Are these pics really pink?”
Row house in Amsterdam
Or are these shudders more of a magenta?
How about this portrait of Queen Beatrix by Andy Warhol which hangs in the Rijks Museum
Is she pink or more of a lavender with red highlites?
Brenda in St. Bavo’s
I am praying that what my sister is wearing here is pink but y’know it just might be salmon.
Cornerstone Church
I used to be confident that the color of our sanctuary was dusty rose but after this morning’s search I am a little shaky. It just might be pink!
But of one thing I am pretty certain… when the sailors of old looked for a red sky at night I am pretty sure they meant pink.
Find some real pink…I think at

The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. Ge. 2:15 NIV

From the greatest of us to the smallest we were made to work. It is not a curse it is our wiring.
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
― Confucius
Cheese vendors in Alkmaar
The goal is not to get away from work or to stop working but to find the work we were born to do!
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Pro. 22:6
The Proverb deals more with helping a child find their personal giftedness than it does with right moral living. Have you found the gift within yourself you were meant to share with the world?
A pastoral moment in Coeur D’Alene
It may not look like work to some people but to others it could be just the lifeline they need to keep going.
What work were you created for?
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, Col. 2:23
