“Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.”

Thoughts and Reflections on Life’s Journey

Beyond the Zone: God and The Spiritual Journey

“Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living – and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you are being while you are doing whatever you are doing. ”
Neale Donald Walsch

Footprints in the Sand

LIFE is God's Novel: A Book (or three or four or TEN) being written as "life unfolds"

“When (or if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith, hope and love be the wings that carried you there.

– as adapted from the inspiring words of Jonathan Edwards, former minister in New England, Massachusetts

“The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God’s podium that anyone stand on.”

from http://www.sharefaith.wordpress.com

“Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.”

Just practising with Moviemaker (Will keep practising this weekend, then upload a newer and hopefully better version.)

What’s that about taking 10000 hours to learn a skill for slow “total non-technos”, like me!

Anyway, enjoy this “quickie first effort”

Here’s another version after MANY hours of effort (OOPS! Think may have made a “bit of a stuff-up” with the sound). Keep trying, c

Practice makes purrfect'”

No – not with me. This trying to make and experiment with videos (including “proper” credits) is very “finniky” and is driving me “really dilly” (if I wasn’t a bit already), so am going  to take a break from…

“I wish you well on a rainy day
I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
to remind you that happiness can happen
when you least expect it.

I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
to show you the simple beauty of life
and to give you the magic of dreams come true.

I wish you rainbows
I wish you well.”

– Larry S. Chenges
