A Lesson in Perseverance

Posted by Picasa

I was amazed at how surefooted this young mountain goat was.  I think that in our lives the times we are most surefooted is when we learn through perseverance.  And as Christians we are call to persevere in this journey of Providence.

~~Mosaic Monday~

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There is still enough summer to be had by all.  But for the students who return to school tomorrow the season has waned much to fast.   To them I say enjoy renewing friendships in the "Halls of Ivy."

Thanks be to God!

Though Mary at The Little Red House is taking a break until August 18, Lisa at  Macro Monday  will still have her show. The pictures are grand and so are the pictures of others!

I would also like to remind you that Wednesday is Adventure Tour Express.  Be thinking about the adventure you would like to share on our journey together!

~Bad Haiku Friday~


Today is a little difficult for me because I have not gotten hooked on reality programming.  I tried watching Big Brother and the Bachelor, but to no avail.  I guess you'd say I'm happier not knowing the "real" and choosing to be "unrealistic."  (I'm a fan of NCIS!)

Nonetheless, I 'm going to give it a try.  There was one show I've watch once or twice and found interesting, Undercover Boss.

Undercover Boss
Pretty sneaky how they check
Boss plays peek-a-boo.

Now off with ya to Laura's Catholic Teacher's Musings.  There'll be lots more fun there.  Wishing all a grand weekend!!!

 Butterfly in Mimosa
June, 2010


Needed a little diversion today and thought it best to try my hand at a jigsaw puzzle.  Ron took this picture of the butterfly at the Daniel Boone home sight near St. Louis this summer.  It is one of my favorite pictures.  Wishing you all a wonderful butterfly day!
