Several weeks ago, perhaps a month ago now, one of my brothers came home from examining the “treasures” at our…

Asking The Way to Zion
I just finished reading the book of Jeremiah today, and was very blessed by a couple verses from chapter 50. I pray you will be, too!
“They shall ask the way to Zion…saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.” (Jeremiah 50:5, emphasis mine)
Am I asking about the way to Zion today? And wow…we have been given that everlasting, perpetual covenant that will not be forgotten now! We now possess what the Jews back in Jeremiah’s day had to look forward to! Praise the Lord!
“Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land…” (Jeremiah 50:34)
Our Redeemer IS strong. And I am so, so thankful!
Tasmania 2019, pt. 4: The Nut
Before I ever set foot on Tasmania, the girl I was traveling with told me I needed to see the Nut. And before you think that it’s some place where there are a bunch of almond or cashew or walnut trees, no…there are trees, but it’s a mountain along the northeastern edge of Tasmania that is a wildlife reserve. Apparently one of the best times to go there, wildlife- and beauty- and amount of people-wise, is at dawn. So, one evening just a couple days before I was supposed to leave, we arranged to meet up at 5 am the next morning and drive the 30 minutes or so to the Nut.
(Need to catch up on the previous posts? Here are the links: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.)
I think we ended up leaving about 5:10 or 5:15, which was pretty good, since at least one person who ended up coming wasn’t even awake until 5! We had a beautiful, peaceful drive out there.
Monday Inspiration: Two Quotes
First, this “quote-of-the-month” for me:
“Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.” — Corrie ten Boom
And this verse I wrote up and have tacked on the cork board next to my desk:
“Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.” — Acts 2:28
Tasmania 2019, pt. 3: Hellyer Beach and Rocky Cape
I got a note in my email last evening that made me pretty happy: Pictures from my trip to Tasmania have been printed and should have been shipped out today! Having gone through the pictures again to get them ready for these posts, it made me that much more eager to be able to arrange the real pictures into some sort of a scrapbook one day soon.
(To see the previous posts in this series, go to Part 1 here and Part 2 here.)
One evening, we walked down to Hellyer beach. It was about a 10-minute walk, over the Detention River, up through a residential area, along the road, through some native bush, past more houses, then out onto the tidal flat itself. Around the point was the beach itself, and I loved studying the different shells there—quite different from the other beach just 15 min. west!
