Remembering Harry
Harry passed away a few weeks ago, but his "smile" will always be remembered.
He was only 5 in cat years-a beautifully sweet persian.

Caught in a WhirlWind...
....that's me. Caught up so much in a whirlwind for so long I didn't even have a name for what I have been experiencing, until my Dad and I had a talk while he was here a week or so ago visiting.
It's nice to have at least a word to describe...basically everything, including not visiting my blog that much.
I am in a whirlwind struggling to see the directions I must go...I'm called to go, but as Dad said the same happened to him years ago when he became closer in his relationship with God after God revealed Himself with such clarity.
There is an evil force that surrounds all of us everyday, but it's when 2 powerful forces collide I'm caught in the whirlwind.
There is a purpose for this whirlwind. I think it's because God is protecting me and making me stronger for the purpose He has for me that I feel called to. I get aggravated sometimes, but He takes care of me by providing the rest I need.
Whew....He gives me rest, but today I am spinning rapidly in the whirlwind.

This is not a storm cloud. I knew it could not be a storm cloud when I turned the corner at my home that day, but I did wonder, could it be? The sights in my eyes made my mind run through a lot of "could be's," such as a plane crash? A military exercise that went wrong? A gas explosion at a gas station? A chemical explosion? None of those questions were even close to what I saw here in a photo that does not even begin to give justice. I have never seen a cloud as large, wide, tall, and as dense as this. I also had never seen the white parts of a cloud covered in such shiny irridescent colors. I quickly went inside simultaneously grabbed my camera and checked our local online news. This cloud was a smoke cloud created from an out of control wildfire here in Myrtle Beach that unfortunately made the news and caused many losses, but incredibly and thankfully not one life was lost.
This photo was taken from my front yard, and even though the cloud seemed to be so close I could touch it..the distance is approx 20 miles away, which is actually WAY TO CLOSE! If the winds had shifted like they were forcasted to do I sincerely doubt I would be sitting here at my computer sharing this with you. 76 homes were lost that day not counting all the cars burned to steel skeletons.
If you would like to help the many victims who lost everything they had, except for the breath of life, you may do so by clicking HERE, or HERE. Thank you.
Update 8/9/09: One person and the first person to move back into his neighborhood and home just happened last week. Check it out here and click on "Back Home in Barefoot."

His Prom
It hasn't been too long ago when I held him in my arms when he was a wee little one, and dreamed of the approaching years ahead. It only seems like yesterday.
