Leviathan of the Deep Ocean Waters #Leviathan

Psalms 135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

Jeremiah 5:22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

Inhabited by innumerable creatures great and small.
Psalms 104:25-26 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
The wonders of God seen in.
Psalms 107:24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

Loving the Leviathan--one my favorite verses because the Bible mentions the leviathan or whales and dolphins "playing" in the ocean. The good side of God's Leviathans.

Pope Warns US Bishops of Radical Secularism, Threats to Religious Freedom - U.s. - Catholic Online

Pope Warns US Bishops of Radical Secularism, Threats to Religious Freedom - U.s. - Catholic Online

That is a good one! As a former Catholic but grateful for all my theology learned there.. among those the practice of worship
and the meaning of freedom of worship,, if Obama and the HHS minions actually think they can challenge over two thousands years
of Catholic teachings and the latest Pope's warning,, "serendipitiously" issued just prior to the latest "line in the sand" drawn to Catholic Institutions who employ people in 13 months---HA HA HA.. seriously; I guess Obama has never attended a Catholic Mass.

I challenge HHS and Obama to figure out the Pope's latest "Ad Limina" visit addressing his Brothers (Bishops) in Christ and wade through a catholic child's simple Catechism in Latin in 13 months and perhaps--after a decade or so of negotiation with the Pope and the Catholic Church who has more lawyers and more money than God ...LOL.. since He gave it to them.:)

Let's see U.S government under Obama : 3.2 Years in office; Roman Catholic Church 2ooo.+ years and counting.

Good Luck Obama.. you just lost your support base. I am a Libertarian Republican.. so you would not have EVER gotten my support even if you personally deposited a million bucks in my account, because people of faith do not sell out for money.

Barach, you really blew it now.. LOL!!

Route 66 Revisited and Winslow Arizona 2008

After reading that article about Route 66 in Smithsonian I was amazed to see they actually took the trip
that I designed, personally and planned with the homebase being in Winslow Arizona on Route 66 because I wanted to see Meteor Crater, near Winslow, so we ended up driving the full Route 66 tour, and also a full day trip! to Monument Valley, Utah. (I did the driving)!We actually took that route and the trip the four corners was added in when we were out there--we had an extra day and one half for general touring in April of 2008. For personal fun and amusement,,  I want to post some of my favorites and new ones that I have never shared about the La Posada.  We were at the La Posada Hotel for lunch and toured its mini Navaho museum which is located IN Winslow Arizona---which was hard to tell when reading the article the Smithsonian.

 La Posada was truly an amazing hotel with a guest book that included SUPER stars of the world!  So I will post some of those pages and a couple favorites for my amusement and a reminder that life does get better after January--even though we are having a mild winter. January is still a "short light" month. Sigh

Indian artwork which was near marking an Indian Housing Project just outside of  Winslow, it was illegal to take that but I didn't know that until I got back into town and ask at the Post Office. It was EERIE out there too.

Painted Desert

National Park outside of Flaggstaff, Arizona on the way to Monument Valley which contained an ancient volanic Lava Flow, I walked in it and it was crunchy and strange. Sunset Crater is the result of the Volcano which exploded in 1180.

Sunset Crater Lava Flow. It is black because that is its real color and it is crunchy lava.

This Merrick Butte, Monument Valley, Utah, and I added it for perspective. if you look REAL closely that little dot in the foreground is a car coming down the road; the Buttes are so large it is hard to realize how big they care until you see the "dot" of the car or see a person in the photo and of course all  you can see is the "base of the Butte" .. working on my bucket list.. :)

January Solitude

MLK weekend now offers "free access" to the public beach. What I wonder under what National Law and when the National Park Service now charges U.S Citizens for access to Assateague Beach?

Yes, you have to pay the National Park Service get on Assateague Beach; Shenandoah Mountains;

so much for Sea to Sea shining Sea.. only if you have the money to pay. it was quiet anyway
