This was a day when the sun was shining brightly. I stopped my car to take a picture. It made me think of God’s faithfulness. The sun is not too far and not too near. It is just the right distance to bring us joy.
I have been extremely busy helping with the release of the anthology, Still Me…After All These Years. It will be launched Monday, March 20th and I am privileged to have my first piece of non-fiction in that anthology.
Wishing all of you a lovely weekend.
Be safe.

I have been working pretty hard setting up my computer for 2017. I installed Scrivener on my iMac, and of course, that demands concentration and energy, and now I am learning how to use it. I have imported a multiple blogging template and a few other templates that I need to use in Scrivener.
I have also been participating as a judge in a writing contest and that in itself is hard work. Along with a couple of other things I would like to get involved in, and my writing. I am looking at an exciting 2017.
Therefore, it is important for me to take breaks even if it is only leaving my office, which is in my basement and going out the door to look up at the Heaven. It is something I do frequently when I am pressed for time.
This is a picture of the clouds over the street where I live. It looks as if the clouds are touching the houses. It is amazing what a glance upward can do to refresh and invigorate your Spirit.
Have a good weekend and be safe.

Sometimes I look at the sky, and I am astonished at the brilliant glimpses of hope I see shining through the clouds. The sun was beaming on the day before Christmas Eve. All the creatures above were rejoicing at the entry of my King.
Wishing you an praeclara 2017 and please walk safely through it.

It is Christmas time in the city of Hanau, Germany where the Grimm brothers were born. This is the Christmas Fair. It covers the entire Marktplatz until December 22nd. People come from all over to walk and to buy Christmas presents, and of course, to drink Glühwein and eat a Bratwurst or a Rindwurst.
Happy Third Advent, People, and please be safe this weekend.

It rains often here as we approach winter. Trees are stripping themselves of their leaves, and preparing for the winter months ahead. When I look up at the sky, I see dark clouds. A sacred entombment is on its way. Nature hides itself, and miraculously, I do too. I have learned to appreciate hiding myself as I slow down and re-energize for spring.
Be safe this weekend.

My girlfriend and I were on the way home, yesterday morning, after receiving mixed news we were trying to understand and make sense of in our minds. We were deep in our discussion, when she said look and pointed to the sky! It had not rained. In fact, the sun was shining, but across the sky, a rainbow appeared. For us, it was a seal from God. We both knew, at that moment, we were not forgotten. God was not confused. He was still in control. His promises were still valid. He does not deceive, no matter how the circumstances may look.
Until next week, be safe.

This picture, I took on my way to church. The Sky had been gray the entire week. That Sunday morning, the sky was again gray. It was the kind of weather that pulls at you to stay in bed. However, keeping to my schedule, I climbed out of bed, put on my jeans for church and left the house. In my car, I noticed the sky seemed to be changing. The dark gray was getting brighter.
By the time, I reached the reached the border of my village; the sky was blue; the clouds bright and fluffy. Astonished, I pulled over and took a picture. It was an affirmation for me of what it means to keep to your schedule and do what you say you are going to do.
Until next week, be safe.
Shalom aleichem,

This Skyward look is totally cloudy. No signs of light. Gray clouds are spread across the heaven and remind me of the election farce the American people are experiencing. Reality television at its finest. People’s minds exploited while a Boxer and a Chow Chow parade during prime time hours as candidates for President of the United States of America.
Have a good weekend and be safe.

I am always amazed at the sky when I travel. The cloud formations speak to me. They are an everlasting testimony of God’s faithfulness in my life. Sometimes, I stop and capture the picture of the heaven with my iPhone. It slows me down because I have to exit the autobahn and find a safe place to capture my picture. Yet, it is refreshing too because I have taken the time to enjoy the beauty of the creation.
Have a nice weekend, and be safe.

Today, I thought I would present the heaven at a family event. I work alone in my office. It is in my basement, and thank God, I have tiny windows that give me sunshine but I do not see the sky. That is one reason the heaven fascinates me. Whenever I can, which is often, I take the time to sit outside and admire the sky. So, today, out of the norm, I share with you a picture of me in Grosskrotzenburg at my favourite restaurant. It is my favourite because I can sit outside. Along with me is my husband. I was happy he could join me.
Take care and be safe.
