Hai - kinda quiet right now and the rain has slacked off but there’s more on the way. I love my world up there, flying through canyons of clouds. Peaceful.

Not just for Sunday Chapel:



"TAKE UP THY CROSS
AND FOLLOW ME"



"I Vow To Thee My Country"
Choir Of King's College, Cambridge
(Click)

"I VOW TO THEE, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace."

Must retire for the evening.

already mounts the parapet.

Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

I had a small basal cell carcinoma on my left lower eyelid removed last Tuesday. Nothing to worry about; they got it all and the wound is healing well.

I decided not to share the pics online. :)
