  •     The conga line, so fun to watch, as the pelicans surf through wave after wave after wave, on their way to where?   The next wave, the next fish, a good night's sleep? Who really knows?   But these playful birds are definitely onto something!         St. Augustine Beach.  

  •     Perhaps when we feel alone and fearful, we truly aren't so alone.   Angels have been part of our imagination for a long, long time. Maybe there is a reason for that?   At best there is some comfort in believing that we are all being looked after somehow, by beautiful, benevolent, winged…

  •       An early morning thunderstorm left these beautiful clouds for the rising sun to shine upon.   May all the storms in our lives be blessings in disguise.           From the archives, November 2011. Used with permission of LainesBlog, Thinking Out Loud.

  •     No, you first. No, you first.   The story of Adam and Eve, where Eve is held responsible for bringing knowledge to the first man.   And that was bad because?   Uh, let me get back to you on that one.           In the Garden of Eden at…
