A Bit of Humor!

Sometimes my posts are very serious, and hopefully thought provoking. We need to take time in life to reflect and listen to lessons being taught.

And then, there's times like today, when I needed a smile and a laugh! Thank you, God, for giving us humans a sense of humour, some of us more than others, I'll admit. Sometimes Brian and I like to window shop when traveling. Seldom to I have a reason to go into any stores, but usually as tourists one has to wander through a shopping district to get to the museums and monuments. The little wigged dog caught my eye and made me smile. Oddly enough, I remembered the dog but not the merchandise, so I'm not really sure how effective of an advertising technique he was. But he was cute and photo worthy. Enjoy!

Linderhof and Hohenschwangau

Image
One of my readers has asked for pictures of the castles/palaces where the swan came from. Linderhof, pictured above, is where last week's swan photo was taken. Linderhof was never completed; the Mad King mysteriously perished in a lake (how's that for a Gothic novel?) before his tribute to the Sun King (King Louis XIV of France) could be finished. He did, however, have time to have a mini Hall of Mirrors installed. What was with the royalty of this time period? Obsessed with having the gaudiest furnishings? And obsessed with each other, too! Below you will see another of Ludwig's family estates, Hohenschwangau. I'm going to have to look a little more to find Neuschwanstein's photo....I think all we have are some of it tucked up in the trees. Either way, these beautiful, if yet obscene, homes are only the tip of the iceberg as to what all there is to do and see in Bavaria. Last week I also included a peacock, and I will post its palace photos next week. En...

I Don't Condone Graffiti...

This, my friends, is the "John Lennon Peace Wall" in Prague. I hesitated to post a photo of the wall, for fear that it would indicate my endorsement of the messages scribbled in colorful madness. Finally, I found a photo of the wall that blurs most of the messages. Just know that I'm posting this for a different reason. This otherwise normal wall became an outlet in the early 1980s not long after John Lennon's death. The messages have transformed over the years, but the general secular ideas of "peace" remain. However, there isn't much peace, in my opinion, in a wall filled with disarray. The peace that is so often referred to is not a perfect peace. The peace desired by society is unattainable; someone is always challenging another person's rights and beliefs. Perfect peace, peace in our spirit, no matter what is going on in the world, comes from Christ. Galatians 5:22 & 23 " But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsu...

Waiting...

Right now Brian and I are waiting....waiting on our unaccompanied baggage, waiting on our household goods, and waiting on my car to arrive. It's all part of the moving process and we've been fairly patient so far, with a few moments of frustration. I'm also waiting on God's direction for what I am to do next. I'm in the process of job searching but also planning to return to volunteer work, as well. We're also waiting to get into a routine, and I know that having our things and my being settled will help with that. So, that leaves you, readers, with waiting for more photos to be posted. Trust me, there will be plenty...just have to be patient and wait!
