The Rockies mountains are majestic but the sky is even greater in my eyes.

Have a great Sunday!
After a quick but heavy rain, I glanced out of the back window of the car. How was it that this rainbow would perfectly hover over the church? I thought of that divine power. Thank you GOD for a perfect end to my weekend.
Devprayag - The town of Godly Confluence
The celestial town of Devprayag is positioned at an elevation of 830 meters above sea level. Devprayag is the last Prayag or the holy confluence of the Alaknanda River, from here that the confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi River is known as Ganga.
The town is the seat of the pundits of Badrinath Dham. The meaning of Devprayag is Godly confluence as "Dev" man's god and "Prayag" means confluence.
Panch Prayag (Pañca prayāga) is an expression in Hindu religious ethos, specifically used to connote the five sacred river confluences in the Garhwal Himalayas in the state of Uttarakhand, India. The five prayags - prayag meaning "place of confluence of rivers" in Sanskrit - also termed as "Prayag pentad" are Vishnuprayag, Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag, in the descending flow sequence of their occurrence.

If the godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.
[Proverbs 25:26 NLT]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)

Mit seiner innovativen Malerei fügt Conrad Godly der langen Tradition der Bergdarstellungen eine ganz neue, faszinierende Facette bei. Sein Bild hat nichts gemein mit einer topografisch exakten Schilderung von Geschautem. Es geht primär um die Evokation der Bergnatur durch blosse Andeutung. Exorbitant ist die geschichtete, haptische pastose Materialität der Farbe und die Farbqualität, die sich auf die schiere Monochromie und den Kontrast von Hell und Dunkel beschränkt. Eigentlich sind es abstrakte Kompositionen, die sich auf frappante Weise – etwa durch die scharfen Grate der jäh aufeinanderprallenden Farbschichten – als greifbare Berge von ungeheurer Präsenz entpuppen. Die Intention des Künstlers zielt auf die Veranschaulichung des Wesenhaften des Berges als innere Bildvision.

Most of the south Indian women used turmeric while bathing and thus avoided unwanted hair in their face and body. Turmeric when used when you are quite young does not allow hair to grow. This is not practiced nowadays in metro cities but even today villagers in Tamilnadu have this practice, especially the married women. Turmeric is respected as pious and godly in root form. It is very good for the skin. It has antiseptic properties and can applied to wounds too.
No Fear of God
In the opening chapters of Romans, Paul has been methodically building his case that all mankind in Adam is without the righteousness that allows us to stand unafraid before God Almighty. The Gentiles who do not have the Mosaic law nonetheless suppress and reject the Lord's revelation in creation and their consciences. The Jews who have the Scriptures are no better off, for they have not kept God's law with the perfection required for justification—the Lord's declaration that a person is righteous in His sight. True, Jews have benefits that Gentiles lack, but mere possession of these benefits is not enough, and like the Gentiles, the Jews have fallen far short of God's glory. But although this teaching is offensive to anyone who measures goodness by comparing themselves to others and not to the Lord's perfect standards, it should not be difficult for anyone who actually knows the Old Testament. After all, the Hebrew Scriptures provide ample testimony of the pervasive sinfulness of humanity (Rom.1:18; 3:17). The worst indictment of all that we read in the Old Testament is Psalm 36:1, which the Apostle quotes in today's passage (Rom.3:18). "There is no fear of God before their eyes" represents a stinging and decisive rebuke for all who think themselves in the right before our Creator. Remember that the fear of God or the fear of the Lord is the foundation of all true piety. It is the starting point for godliness, the beginning of wisdom that leads to eternal life (Psa.111:10; Pro.10:27). The fear of God is properly held before our "eyes" because fearing Him means that we keep Him and His statutes as the focus and center of our attention. But human beings in Adam have utterly failed to view the Lord with such reverence. Because of this, we sin in what we think, do, and say. Ultimately, if we cannot keep the fear of God before our eyes, we cannot do anything else that is pleasing to Him. We start off on the wrong foot, as it were, and that means the entire direction of our lives is oriented away from the things of the Lord. Because there is no fear of the Almighty for the naturally conceived-and-born sons and daughters of Adam, "..None is righteous, no, not one" (Rom.3:10). Matthew Henry comments on today's passage, "Where no fear of God is, no good is to be expected." Fallen people might do civic goods that are praiseworthy from a human perspective, but they cannot do what is fully and truly good in the Lord's sight. Apart from Christ, we are as bad off as we could possibly be.

Renewing Your Mind - A Message by R.C. Sproul
Devotional originally published at Ligonier.org
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
[1 Timothy 6:6-10 NIV]

A stop in Lisbon Portugal included a visit to the Jeronimos Monastery found near the Tagus river. The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of Portuguese Late Gothic architecture and is classified a UNESCO World Heritage site.
In October of 2016 my wife and I along with good friends visited parts of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France as part of a western Mediterranean cruise aboard the Celebrity Silhouette.

Chassis cleaning at Red & White's Tredegar garage, Friday 20th February 1976. Having a great aversion to travelling long distances on ordinary stage-carriage bus services, I had reached Tredegar from Cardiff by catching a train to Rhymney and then walking over the hilltops ...from the Rhymney into the Sirhowy valley, from Glamorgan into Monmouthshire and from Wales into England. I was charmed. Begrimed sheep, not thwarted by cattle grids, had wandered in off the hillsides and stood on the pavements, ignored by the townsfolk. A wild moorland pony grazed municipal lawn at the foot of a block of flats.
The bus was a Gardner-engined Bristol FL ...one of the rare 30ft, rear-entrance Lodekkas, superseded, almost as soon as it appeared, by the front-entrance FLF. Alas, Tredegar had no rail connection and I didn't feel like retracing my footsteps to Rhymney. Nothing for it but to flash my NBC staff pass and sit out the interminable, meandering journey back to Cardiff on one of Red & White's dual-purpose REs.
