Awww ..sweet kitty.
I looked up this lovely church just now..
http://www.google.com/search?q=Painted+Church,+Kealakakua+HI&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50165853,d.aWM,pv.xjs.s.en_US.seW1cfrvSKg.O&biw=1129&bih=650&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=qV_9UdwaxN6sAeTDgMgE
I did not know what a Painted Church was until I was searching for the Sunday thread and found The Painted Churches of Texas..

I went to Kealakakua the day after my friend died.

I drove around through the rain forest, up and down the mountain, and visited the Captain Cook memorial with its ancient temple(site of the first Christian Service in Hawaii), A couple of Coffee farms, A Meditation Botanical Garden, The City of Refuge National Park, and The Painted Church, all in one day.

I just walked and walked, prayed, took pictures, and spent the day “not really” Alone.

The driving is a bit rough, and more suitible for a jeep, but I had driven there before, and kind of knew my way around.

Also, it’s very hard to get lost on an island. :-)

Painted Church

Here is one of my pictures of the Painted Church. It is a functioning Roman Catholic Church that uses Hawaiian Style Music, and from what I observed of a Mass there two years ago, very Charismatic, Warm, and Welcoming.

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Take Time To Ponder
August 4, 2013

Parents love to remember the developmental milestones of their children. They will record in a baby book when their little ones first roll over, then crawl, and take their first steps. Often they will take photographs and save baby clothing to bring back the memories of those precious experiences.

According to Luke 2:19, Mary, the mother of Jesus, kept a baby book of sorts—in her heart. She treasured the promises that had been given about her Son and “pondered them.” The Greek word for “ponder” means “placing together for comparison.” Mary had heard of great things concerning her Son from angels and shepherds (1:32; 2:17-18). As His life unfolded, she would compare those promises with how her Son acted to fulfill them.

Our faith will be strengthened and we will be encouraged when we meditate on what the Scriptures say about God and compare it with the way He works in our own lives (John 14:21). He is a God who answers prayer (1 John 5:14-15), comforts us in our suffering (2 Cor. 1:3-4), and provides for our needs (Phil. 4:19).

When we take time to ponder, we will see the faithfulness of our great God.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow—
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! —Chisholm

God gives by promise that we may take by faith.

Read: Luke 2:8-19

Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. —Luke 2:19

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 66-67; Romans 7
