Sunset in SC

I got home late tonight. As I was loading my car with my gym clothes for tomorrow, I saw the most beautiful sunset. I stood there in awe for a few moments and then decided to go get my camera. In the few moments it took to get in and out of the house the sun sank a little lower and the lighting was different. Although the clouds are roughly in the same position, the colors aren't quite as brilliant as they were when I first observed them. Never less this is what it looked like:



It made me wonder just how many beautiful sunsets or other things I have missed by only a few moments.

Have a great day,
Greg

God is so generous to display His majesty all around us. I agree, I wonder how many we miss by just a few seconds, too. Thankfully, He is faithful to direct us to them from time to time.

Today I had such a big laugh with God. So glad I didn't miss His smile as my friend and I were talking about Him. I think sometimes we get too busy to notice all the beauty around us. Glad you saw His painting in the sky. Hope you are doing good. B

You know whats amazing Greg, is how much more brilliant sunsets are when there are clouds. Other wise they are still beautiful but not quite as spectacular.

I just missed a wonderful opportunity for reconciliation by just a few moments. I didn't catch the sunset tonight either. Hmm. Must not be my day.

That's lovely! I think as long as we notice as much as possible its ok, and there's always something to see of God's beauty in Nature whenever we do manage to stop a moment. But I get what you are saying and the answer is - LOADS!

Beautiful Sunset! I know we have been having some amazing sunsets out here too!

Thanks!

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
