It was the first time I had ever put those 2 words together let alone realized what they meant. For many years I have been AW...

  EVIDENCE I'm sure we are all familiar with mystery stories or whatever where we want to see and perceive the EVIDENCE that declares what has or is happening.  It's very normal to want to know for sure  beyond a reasonable doubt, what is so! After all, if we have the EVIDENCE than all is well. it's like in this picture, the water falling through the rocks had  to have come from higher up. Here's the EVIDENCE  right here. I remember many years ago going to a seminar and the person was talking about EVIDENCE. What I  really  remember was the realization of how much I KNOW and TRUST in the areas of LIFE I 'can't see, hear, feel or even taste , because there is no tangible  EVIDENCE and yet I KNOW  it's happening or has happened sometime, even millions of years ago. A perfect example is the WIND blowing  and the trees moving. Virtually all events in HISTORY and in NATURE fall into this category because we have  EVIDENCE even if we did...

                                                                    BLUE CONVOLVUS OPULENCE OPULENCE . . . Isn't that a magnanimous word? OPULENCE means wealthy, rich, a little more than well-to-do, perhaps well-off. That is how I have felt lately, coming upon or finding something I'm seeking or needing.  I have a very special frame in my bathroom that I like to switch pictures in from time to time. I knew the one I wanted to put in the frame and when I went to look for it ( in the exact  envelope in which I stored it, ) it was not there. I wouldn't give up and continued to go back to look for it 4  times! At last, on the 4th try, there is was nestled gently in between other photos. One might think I was a bit obsessed, which I was, until I...

                                                                                                SEEDS When I went for a walk yesterday around the lake, I watched as these tiny pink flake like twirley things came falling all around me. They were so beautiful, they reminded me of soft blossoms falling from a tree. I picked one up and saw that it was a SEED inside this precious pink pod. It was gorgeous with teeny tiny stripes of a deeper pink running across the whole pod which was about an inch long. It had a gentle curve, with this tiny seed at one end of the pod. It was as though it was 'hand made' by God, one SEED per pod. It was from a Maple tree. I marveled at the fact that the very tree it came from, wh...
