Water


Hello again...looks like I'm becoming a better blogger after all!

I'm back in the swing with Carly's Round Robin Challenge, and the theme this time is "Water".

The first 2 shots were taken in Watkin Glens, NY (Finger Lakes Region). What an incredibly beautiful area...with loads of wineries nearby too..tee hee!

The last one I took after walking down my street to a small bridge overlooking the River. I just loved the sunset's reflection in the water....made me say "Ahhhhh".

To see the other entries, go see Carly's site over yonder!

What a beautiful place Watkins Glen is! I will join the others if they come to see it. Nice photos, all of them.

Watkins Glen! I remember Watkins Glen. Wonderful place! I haven;t been there since I was about seven years old. I remember walking behind little cascades, and a red rubber ball going around and around a whirlpool, popping out and doing it all over again. I love your two pics of it, especially clicking to see them full size. Cool third pic, too!

I am glad I found your blog. Those photos are interesting. I know nothing about photography other than I like it or I don't and I do like yours.

Nancy, I will have to add Watkin Glen to my list of places to visit. I could easily spend a day sitting in that first picture.

Thanks for the visit my way and for joining my humble blog.

I have spent a pleasant quarter hour this AM browsing your archives and I will be back again to see what is happening in your world.

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew (his) sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.

28 But Paul shouted out in a loud voice, "Do no harm to yourself; we are all here."

29 He asked for a light and rushed in and, trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas.

30 Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you and your household will be saved."

32 So they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.

33 He took them in at that hour of the night and bathed their wounds; then he and all his family were baptized at once. (Acts 16: 27 – 33)

But I Cannot Find that in the Bible!

One of the many false charges made against the Catholic Church:

False charge #1. "The Catholic Church and / or the Pope is the 'Whore of Babylon.'

Many non-Catholic books have been written 'proving' that this is what the Bible 'clearly' says!"

Answer to false charge #1. Proving??? Clearly??? I have now donned my Sola Scriptura glasses for a reply using Sola Scriptura believers non-Catholic rules, and first of all, I cannot find the phrase 'whore of Babylon' in the Bible.

Not only that but I cannot find a single reference that says 'Catholic Church' or the word 'Pope' to connect to the non-existent 'whore of Babylon'.

This is irrefutable proof that non-Catholics have a double standard (doublethink*).

When Catholic's make a statement, they are greeted with Sola Scriptura, and nothing else.

End of conversation. However, when non-Catholics make a charge against the Catholic Church like this one, there is no such thing as Sola Scriptura.

They pull these charges out of thin air with not a single thread of proof.

Hypocrisy???

Answers anyone???

7 Make no mistake: God is not mocked, for a person will reap only what he sows,
8 because the one who sows for his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows for the spirit will reap eternal life from the spirit. (Galatians 6: 7-8)

*Doublethink...! You cannot have it both ways, but some non-Catholic Sola Scriptura believers sure do try.

PSALM 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

LIVING WATER
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

8 His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.

9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?" (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)

10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God and who is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."

11 (The woman) said to him, "Sir, you do not even have a bucket and the cistern is deep; where then can you get this living water?

12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this cistern and drank from it himself with his children and his flocks?"

13 Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again;

14 but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."


15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water."
(John 4: 7 – 15)

Beautiful photos since the last visit I made. Is someone trying to flood your blog with holywater at the comment section? I just thought I would make a humorous observation. mark/salty
