Just as the sun rises in the morning, it also sets in the evening

 I have never thought of taking a picture of Gary and I from the back.  Tony and Rosey Ross gave us the idea while they were visiting us this last week.  I like this picture - it is showing that we are focusing on something else and not on ourselves.  God's beauty.  God's creation.  God is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.  He created everything that is in the world.  Without him, nothing would be made that is made or allowed to be, unless he allowed it to be.  It is also showing that everything must come to an end - here on this human earth.  Just as the sun rises in the morning, it also sets in the evening.  God is so gracious and loving and merciful!  I want to be a better witness for him here in Barbados.  There is something that he wants me to do - that hasn't been done yet - I need to be open to his will and his timing.  The sun will soon set upon this time frame in my life - may I hear and do as God commands me.

I really enjoyed the Ross's visit last week.  I learned some things from them.  Tony was constantly asking me questions, such as "how far is Barbados from the equator?"  I found myself constantly having to tell him that I didn't know the answer.  It came to my realization that I need to want to continue to learn - no matter that I am getting older, it is never too late to learn.  So, I'm happy to tell you that Barbados is 13 degrees north of the equator.  A degree is around 69 miles.  Rosey showed me many new found goodies for the kitchen.  She gave me the most awesome and very simple roast recipe!  I'm not sure I will ever be able to do any other kind of roast except this one.  They visited us here in Barbados, but I think I'm the one that got the most out of the visit!  :)
