I like train rides.

Train

I was sitting there on a train looking out the window at the rolling green hills spotted with white sheep and the occasional sets of windmills and I realized I am in Scotland. I was on the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow, on my way to West Kilbride. I had just spent the day wondering around Edinburgh. It was a lovely day and I enjoyed myself very much. It was just interesting when I stopped and thought about where I was. It is interesting to me sometimes when I am traveling and it actually hits me as to where I am. Scotland is beautiful. Old building in the middle of quaint little towns, green green rolling hills. Red rocks, the sea, little wooded parks (glens) slow pace of life. Very very nice.

Sheep

Sheep belong on rolling green hills. They do. Anywhere else they kind of look out of place, but not on a rolling green hill. there they look like they are where they should be. Grazing or laying down. The rich green grass spotted with little fluffy white dots.

It amazes me sometimes how some people cannot butter bread properly.

We are redeemed from our sins not in them.
Grace makes beauty out of brokenness
Maturity is knowing your boundaries and exercising restraint
Death was never mean't to happen; and people have never come to terms with the fact that it does and we cannot stop it.

First impressions can be very wrong.

So I walked out of the store with a bag of marbles, a big bottle of bubbles, and a box of Chinese tea. That is a bit of an odd combination.

Our minds are a strange thing...
Samson was set apart for God, But he did not live like it.
I would like to spend more time drawing.
Why are red pandas always tucked away in some obscure corner of the zoo? Like by the camels or something? Hard to find and ill marked.
Rest is more important than sleep.
Meetings should always contain food.
I think a duck would eat a pig given the chance.
One should take time every now and then to get utterly lost in Classical music.
What is the meaning of string?
Why does Pluto not eat Donald?
Forgiveness is essential.
What would life be like if we used monkeys as currency?
What are blind peoples' dreams like?
Everything seems better while eating noodles.
I wonder if Penguins ever get hot?
Where do all my misplaced thoughts go?
The voice of truth is often not liked.
It is funny although I slightly fear a world takeover by robots; I, at times, think I would actually prefer a world filled with robots.
This world contains things that we cannot imagine.
If eyes are 'the window to the soul', where is the door?
How can I be sure that there is not a ninja following me?
We have so much to be thankful for.
Color is important

"Insert limited name here"

God is so much bigger than our limited view of Him. Every possible word or words we can think of to describe Him fail to do so fully. Our minds are nowhere near the point of being able to comprehend who and what God is.

I think a study in Quantum Physics would be like a study in how amazing God is.
Do Chimpanzees and gorillas enjoy learning sign language?
We have so much to be thankful for.
Truth is simple.
Truth is Eternal
How would life be different if blood was clear?
Prevention is better than a cure.

Learning to let go

I was just thinking of a lost sketchbook. It was a great little sketchbook, good paper, good size, being filled with fun drawings. I lost it. I am not sure how. I have never lost one before. And it is not fun. A week or two later a friend of mine lost their journal, and I was thinking about things lost. We loose things all the time. Some are small (cars keys, pens) some are huge (jobs, people in our lives) And how we deal with lose. Some things can be found or gotten again. And I believe that we should try our hardest when needed. However there are often things that we will never get back. My sketchbook, most likely lost in another state, or my friends journal, left on a plane. My friend and I were hesitant to replace our lost books because of the work that had gone into our previous ones. I was thinking about the need to let go of things lost. It is ok to treasure the memory, but one must let go as well. To move on in a sense and to be able to start the next book without fear or reservation. To except the lose and to move on. Lose is part of life, not part of the original plan, but part of life non-the-less.

God wants people who are willing to stand up and volunteer. He wants people who are ready, willing, and passionate. People who are willing to say "Here I am send me."
Are you listening; or just waiting to talk?
Do regular Hippos make fun of skinny ones?
I do not like labels... at all.
If a brick is not red does it really count as a brick?
Why do we find danger so intriguing?

Do Ducks ever get bored with just swimming around?
Never trust a smiling girl.
Our past is the foundation on which we build who we are. Be it good or bad our past affects us, and who we become.
