Well, I have come to another bend in the road or train tracks as the case may be. This transition has felt long and then very, very quick. For months it felt like everything was saying. "wait for it, wait for it, just wait for it..." and then all of a sudden BAM! it came and happened.
I am traveling an old yet new road. I have come back to my hometown.

It was a day for wandering and laughing and talking about life and what God was revealing to our hearts and being silent. It was a day of reveling in God's creation and enjoying the beauty around us. It was a day for hoping.

Life just being busy and the fact that the mother board on my laptop blew up have something to do with it. But also, I just haven't been giving a lot of time to writing down, creatively or otherwise all the things going through my head or what God has been revealing to me.
I do have a few moments to say hi, so hi.

It has been a summer of insights, adventures, having a quiet heart (or trying too), learning where to push and learning where to let go. I am continuing to stumble and bumble my way into the world of photography which I enjoy. I haven't been brave enough yet to "go manual" need to do some more reading first.

Yes, I say that with glee. I love these hot days of summer. The days where you move slow, eat lots of fruit and curl up in front of a fan with iced tea and a good book.
Summer has been fun and busy so far. I was a way for a leadership training for work, during the first week of July at this place:

Here is a link to my friend Dale Anderson's blog. He just wrote a entry that expressed exactly how I have been feeling for awhile. I have felt a little sleepy and more than a little dull. Despite that though God has been doing amazing things, providing financially, and doing amazing things with my family. But this blog was a good encouragement to stir myself up Lanneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02497132374843904642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663264376024247920.post-18326689984091091802011-06-19T21:17:00.000-05:002011-06-19T21:17:28.600-05:00One more to hit my top 10Ok, I have been finding such good creative music lately. The newest Gosh Garells. I came across his new album called "Love and War and the Sea In Between". If you like a lot of different sounds, you are in for a treat on this CD. Country, Roots, Blues, Rap, Rock...he does it all and does it well.
Here is one of my favorites from the Album, "Flood Waters" the lyrics Lanneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02497132374843904642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663264376024247920.post-81158417074469564332011-06-12T22:07:00.002-05:002011-06-12T22:11:48.765-05:00New FavoriteI stumbled across Sandra McCracken's music a couple of months ago and she fast became one that I listen to over and over and don't tire of. She does some folk stuff just about every day life which I enjoy, but my real favorite right now are two Cd's that are all entirely old hymns. I love the richness, depth and amount of scripture in these hymns and I love the instrumental side of it as Lanneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02497132374843904642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663264376024247920.post-44959406157230357192011-06-11T22:41:00.001-05:002011-06-11T22:53:05.428-05:00Are we ready?This is going to be a very off the cuff response to the article I am going to share below (I read it just a few moments ago); but this article is very timely and connected to a discussion I had with a friend today.

I came across this blog Moments with Love last year. It is the blog of a mom in the US who has an amazing heart for orphan's.

I was at a prayer meeting tonight and my heart was so encouraged by one line of a song we sang. It is a Luke Wood song and the line goes like this: "All man's empty promises lay broken at Your feet; but You have never broken one."

So, Instead of showing you EVERY book on my bookshelf, I will show you the ones I keep coming back to over and over.
The Bible is my first and foremost favorite. Especially the Gospel According to John. I love the life I have been getting from reading scripture lately.
