How often has this happened to you? You go about your life, but a restlessness seems to hang over you. In such moments, ask, “Lord, what is it You want to tell me?”
From Psalm 121:1-2: “I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
This informative post will be published on Saturday in place of my regular one. You are invited to participate with the opening question.
A man stands on one side of a river, his dog on the other side. The man calls his dog, who immediately crosses the river without getting wet and without using a bridge of a boat. How did the dog do it?

Classified in the same class as spiders and ticks, scorpions are a member of the arachnid family.
Here are some interesting facts about the scorpion:
Scorpions resemble miniature lobsters with their long pincers. Fed from venom glands, a poisonous stinger is found at the end of its long curved-up tail. Multiple eyes are found at the center and sides of its cephalothorax (fused head and body). Humans should avoid touching a scorpion as a bite will certainly cause pain and possible swelling. Very few scorpions are deadly.
The life cycle of a scorpion follows the female as she carries eggs inside of her. Scorpions are born live, and the female will carry this brood on her back until they fully mature.
There are nearly 2,000 species of scorpions, and their lifespan runs from 4 to 25 years. These champions of survival can live without food for up to a year, and they grow quite slowly until reaching maturity (up to five years with some).
In various cultures, scorpions represent and symbolize different meanings.

The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.

From 1 Thessalonians 4:14: “For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who have died.”
Walking along distant shore
Splashing through love rolling in
Filling anticipation
For what might have been
Chasing footprints, still present
Wishing love would return back home
Filling eternal sunset
For dreams want to roam
Clinging to memory’s thoughts
Sorting images, clear and bright
Filling love’s gentle presence
For each morn beams light
Recalling tiny details
Bringing smiles inside lonely heart
Filling tender, childlike love
For music restarts
Longing for more sandy walks
Holding hands, together as one
Filling timeless connections
For love’s never done
