Door Within a Door—Thursday Doors

The cap below is a kind of door that leads to the underground water system.

On this cap/door from Prague is an image of an open door with an arm holding a sword in a defensive posture.

In case that door doesn’t count I’ve included a door from somewhere in the Prague Castle.

Light—Ovi Poetry Challenge

The fields have ripened—harvest soon
as dawn respects the waning moon.
The light of gladness shines through noon.
His name reigns over all.

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.

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 KJV39 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
