"My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long?" (Psalm 6:3).There are many how-longs in the Bible. While Providence smiles, we take no notice; His consolations seem insignificant to none when all is well in our lives. We forget that He gives as well as takes. Then when a cloud slips past the sun, we forget that the sun still exists. Even when it is midnight and we are deep in the dark night of our soul, God still lives. It is we who eclipse Him, not vice versa. And it is a vice to forget this. "As when the sun is eclipsed,
Emerging from the busy airport in Sydney, Lynn turned her face to a warm and brilliant sun. Twenty four hours ago, cold, damp air threatened snow back in the wintry United States and she relished the contrast. The tour bus barreled through the city streets, using its bulk to bully the smaller cars. She planned on showering and look
There was a time in my life, a long time ago, when I felt very lonely in the world. Do you know what it is like to feel you will never be loved for who you are? To never feel truly understood? To feel that when people see you, they are not seeing the real you – and they don't even try to see the real you. It is like the real you is invisible to everyone but yourself – and everyone thinks you are somebody you are not. To be next to a person and feel so far away... that kind of loneliness is even more lonely than being just by yourself.
Suspended in crystal fluid, enchanted.
Magic wands wave in a watery breeze,
Currents tugging in a gentle tease.
A fantastic shape glides regally by,
Green-tinted light, easy to see by.
In latest fashion has nature dressed her,
Her world I share,
My living ancestor.
Lynn stared at her image in the mirror. A frank appraisal would include the words 'slightly overweight’ and 'pale'. Her job as a lawyer in a large corporation did nothing for her need for exercise and fostered an attitude that getting ahead in life equated with working straight through her vacation.
This time, she vowed to get as far from the work place as possible, both in distance and in ambiance. The vacation experience that most titillated her sense of adventure was a flight to Australia and an ocean cruise to the Barrier Reefs of New Zealland. A winter vacation was dictated by the company, but warm breezes was her kind of weather.
After depositing her pager and cell phone in the top drawer of her dresser, slamming it shut with a certain amount of satisfaction. Being an amateur photographer, Lynn looked forward to capturing exotic fish in their natural habitat and enlarging them for her wall. Too excited to sleep, she buried herself in a book on New Zealand fauna until sleep finally came.

Because a cupcake is not always a cupcake, there are times when you will want to ask yourself if it's really worth the calories.One problem we all have when it comes to dieting is having to count calories.

True thought leadership requires original thinking. It is a practice that can be learned, or rather rediscovered, reclaimed, with a certain amount of attention and surrender.As with any creative endeavor, originality in thinking, in being, requires a heightened state of alertness, a bridging of the poles, a show of fearlessness and willingness to forfeit the known for the unknown, the learned for the experienced.It requires a trust deeper than the sea, for what it asks for is a letting go, an unmooring from the sa

Our vision is probably the most utilized sensory faculty that we have. For most people the ability to see clearly is absolutely vital. Unfortunately, our eyes frequently suffer from diseases, abuse, and genetic eye defects that may lead to poor eyesight. To help us ease our burdens with these problems, we would normally use corrective lenses such as glasses and contact lenses. But recently a new treatment for eye ailments has surfaced. Commonly called laser eye surgery, it is a procedure that restores your normal eyesight without the
Emerging from the busy airport in Sydney, Lynn turned her face to a warm and brilliant sun. Twenty four hours ago, cold, damp air threatened snow back in the wintry United States and she relished the contrast. The tour bus barreled through the city streets, using its bulk to bully the smaller cars. She planned on showering and looked forward to an interesting meal at the hotel before spending her first night in Australia. Tomorrow, a fast tour of the city would set the stage for her two week cruise up the coast. The highlight of the cruise would be her first glimpse of New Zealand and shallow diving in the reef waters.
The next day, dawn crept over the Pacific as Lynn gazed toward the cloud topped lava cliffs, home to thousands of sea birds. The surrounding countryside was the antithesis of the land where Lynn grew up. Hints of steamy jungle lie behind secret coves of white beaches. Lynn prepared for the imminent sojourn into the depths of a reef. What fantastic shapes would she see? Her books told of fairy born creatures trailing angel wings of hidden stings, pulsing through the warm water, feeding on amoebae much like themselves, only smaller. If she were lucky, a river dolphin native to these waters might wander close enough for a picture or two. Dolphins always fascinated Lynn with their enlarged brain cases and intelligent ways. They seemed to be part of a culture known only to themselves.
a sea fog now veiled the sun from striking the beach. The white sand with its background of carved gullies appeared oyster white on granite gray. Dove shaped terns wheeled along the cliffs, protecting their eggs with piercing cries. Behind her drifted the sounds of the Jelly Ro
