Český Krumlov—Thursday Doors

Below are some pictures of doors at the Český Krumlov castle in the Czech Republic.

They are not far from the door I posted last week.

At least, that’s what I remember.

I also remember this was early morning, perhaps 5 or 6 AM. Most of the other tourists were still asleep, but not all.

Main entrance and a door on the center right

Empty—Ovi Poetry Challenge

The stone was sealed. The guard was set.
With prophesied conditions met
His empty tomb’s our sign, so let
our praises rise with Him!

Matthew 12:39-40 KJV – 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

How To Get There From Here—Six Sentence Story

Sam knew he couldn’t get there from here, at least not on his own smarts, but he agreed to go.

The still small voice told him to move to Colorado, then Florida and then Maine. Although those moves made no sense, he moved anyway, since he knew he didn’t have the smarts to know what to do next. At every turn he took the time to listen and then do what the voice told him to do.

One day Sam was overwhelmed with joy to realize that he and the still small voice had been living, seemingly for years, in a wonderful dwelling paneled with righteousness and furnished with goodness and mercy.

The still small voice said, “I told you we’d get here when you agreed to go with Me.”

Look to the Skies

Dale offers the prompt “look to the skies” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

These were taken in Hallstadt, Germany.

The mountains blocked the sky, but the water reflected it. To see the sky, look both above and below.

Don’t forget the mountains. If they weren’t there, I wouldn’t have any pictures of the sky.

Calm sky reflected in wavy water
We were in a boat making the reflected sky look wavy
Now maybe more mountains than sky in the water

Be Still—Ovi Poetry Challenge

Where He may lead is where I’ll go.
As living waters love to flow,
so shall my heart beat on to show
how calm the spice of peace is.

Psalms 131:2 NKJV
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

I found this song on Greg Doles’ blog, Chasing Light
