Homeward Bound

I wish I had words to sum up the experience here.  I don't.  It has been a wonderful trip, and we have been blessed.  The wonders of the creativity of my Master have overwhelmed us.

It has been a fun time of simple things like searching for unique shells.  It has been a time of exquisite sunsets, breath-taking sunrises, and soothing breezes.

Even the simplest of views has amazing elements of beauty, whether in the textures of clouds, the line traced by a tree, the curve of the hills, or the blending shades of sand, water, and sky; simple yet elegant. It is the way of my Master.

The rocks cry out in praise to the Master for having been clothed in the foam of a thousand waves. I can only join them in comparative mute admiration for what I witness.

I look forward to being home, yet I will also feel the pull to this place, and these people.

Views From Within The Beauty

Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder, it is also in the eye of the Creator.



Perhaps the colors I see are only pale shadows of what I will see in heaven, but I truly enjoy the approximation here.  It is still the Sculptor of delicate petals and the Painter of vibrant colors I have to thank.  He is the One presenting these things to me, showing off, but the One who should be.

Is the color beneath the waves any less vibrant?  It's as if the very water itself glows with color and life.  Again the Sculptor and Painter presents His work, only this time we had to dive for it.

The closest approximation of people and technology just cannot touch the vibrancy of my Master.  How can I not point to the wonders of my Master and praise Him?  But how do I do it so others realize the beauty and think to praise?  I try.  That in and of itself will go a long way.  It could be that my Master will make up the difference.

Meandering Abroad

Curtain Bluff | Antigua, West Indies

For the next five days I will be at the resort described in the link above. I will be there with a lot of sales folk from my company; many of whom have no or little relationship with my Master. My goal, and what readers of this blog will keep me accountable for,  is that I be a salted light to people in tasteless darkness; that the glory of my Master draw them to Him. That should be...difficult, if only because it is so hard for people to look past the person for what makes them; and it is so hard for me to be content giving the attention away.

That's where this blog comes in. I am able to be here with my wife only because my Master made it possible. I was the farmer who planted fields and watered; but it was my Master Who caused the growth, granting me a harvest. Please help me maintain that "farmer mentality" so necessary to seeking the glory of Another!
