this was taken at the Monserrat Monestary in Spain this last May-they have a beautiful area inside a cave, where they have their prayer candles-we lit candles here as well to say prayers for loved ones-but looking at this image today if I were there I would light them for all those affected by the Tsunami-it's so sad and devastating-my heart goes out to those affected and many prayers are being sent your way...

O Lord!! Forgive me my sins...there are lot of things we do, intentionally and unintentionally which violates your rules, hurt your people and we live on without knowing and paying any attention...At the start of this new Islamic year, I seek your forgiveness and the wisdom to accept whole heartily whatever you place on my way...because you are the best of planners. Amen!

Hope of Rainbows after the Storms of Destruction
My heart is crying after watching the news footage tonight of the Earthquake and horrifying Tsunami in north Japan March 10, 2011.... it is hard to wrap my mind and heart around the pain and suffering of thousands of people as homes and vehicles, boats and business are torn to shreds and carried across the farmlands of NE Japan, in many cases actually burning as they float. An 8.9 magnitude earthquake is one of the 5 most powerful quakes in recorded history, and shook buildings and took out power 230 miles away in Tokyo, causing some fires there as well. More waves will follow the first, making rescues difficult or impossible until they calm down.
Hawaii was under a tsunami warning... uncertain how much will hit the Islands but estimated time of arrival would be at 3 am, while on the Oregon Coast and around the mouth of the Columbia we are under a Tsunami watch, for around 7:30 am... may only be a small surge by then, but very hard to tell.
My prayers and tears go out to the people of Japan and surrounding area as the destruction spreads and people work on survival and recovery.... (UPDATE IN COMMENTS)

the day this photo was taken was a day of memories... as my mom had passed away on November 7, 2003
As Wind carries our prayers for Earth and All Life, may respect and love light our way.
May our hearts be filled with compassion for others and for ourselves.
May peace increase on Earth.
May it begin with me.

Prayer, Morning
First Thoughts
Let God have your first awaking thoughts; lift up your hearts to Him reverently and thankfully for the rest enjoyed the night before and cast yourself upon Him for the day which follows. Familiarize yourself so consistently to this that your conscience may check you when common thoughts shall first intrude. Think of the mercy of a night’s rest and of how many that have spent that night in hell; how many in prison; how many in cold, hard lodgings; how many suffering from agonizing pains and sickness, weary of their beds and of their lives. Think of how many souls were that night called from their bodies terrifyingly to appear before God and think how quickly days and nights are rolling on! How speedily your last night and day will come! Observe that which is lacking in the preparedness of your soul for such a time and seek it without delay.

My Dad has been in the hospital going on three weeks now. He called me this afternoon and said that they told him he has prostate cancer and possibly colon cancer. Please, please, please keep him in your prayers. Outside of my hubby, my father is my rock. He means the world to me. He has never ever been sick and has never been in the hospital before now. :( I'm not even sure what to think. Just please remember him. I guess it may be weird to ask for prayers on here, but some of you guys are such good buddies and I just felt the need to share this with you.
Oh, and in this photo he's showing me a commissioned painting that he's working on. I'm always fascinated with how his paintings look so real.
