How Sailing & Drawing has been So Much a Part of My Life

 Copywrite 1-27-14 by Albion Derbyshire

Skipper Albie: "I was captivated by the water, the wind and the sky." The ocean has fascinated me since I was young. Drawing tall ships in elementary school was encouraged further after having visited the HMS Victory in Plymouth, England and the Cutty Sark in Greenwhich London. Later, I found the joy of sailing and when I wasn't able to actually be on the water I started drawing it!

Do You Like What You Do?

You know, making money is fine and necessary, but here's a question that is important too: Do you like what you do? I mean, for me, its not like waking up and going to the beach but I like working for Ontrac, delivering packages. I like being out in the sunshine every day, I like that I get to walk around a bit and get some excercize and yet can still drive around listening to music while I work on a strategy to get all the packages delivered the fastest way possible. There's a certain amount of challenge to it all that I enjoy too. So yes, its not sailing but its a good job and I like doing it. And if I went sailing EVERY day, that would probably get boring. I hope you like what you do too!

 Feel free to send me a message if you would like to share or if you like what you do too - or if you don't and would like to work on changing something.

Daily Thoughts

 Really great song. I was listening to this while I was at work and I started humming along with it and listening to the words. A few lyrics resinated with me: "When someone is as cold as ice, you can't try to change them with advice." and "I'm learning to be the light...

Tonight at our marriage group get together, I re-recognized the power of hate that we come to face at some time in our life and how it effects us for life. The way we react to it is often the way we react to it each time we come to face it again. If we could see behind the curtain and see how much hate the devil has for us and God it would astound us. The Bible calls the devil a murderer and the father of lies. Perhaps if we could realize where the true source of the hate really came from, we may be able to forgive the person who allowed it to flow through them to us. Maybe we can also see how we have been the ones to allow that same hate to flow through us to someone else and ask God to forgive us too. All these thoughts went through my head tonight!

Wow! What a day! I got to walk with my daughter today as we walked our dog Buttercup together through the park. It was one of those really happy moments hanging out with my daughter and talking about star constellations and her Mexico trip that I will always remember! It was a BEAUTIFUL sunny day and the park looked so alive as we walked along the soft grass passing by its many varieties of trees and plants.

Wow! What another day! Lol! Its so funny. Yesterday It just so happened I got to spent some quality time with my daughter and today turned into a precious time with my son! On the way home from his acting class I decided to ask him if he would sing the songs he will be singing for in his play. I figured he just MIGHT still be young enough to not feel embarrassed by the request. I mean, he is a teenager after all, but only just turned. And he likes to perform - so I was just giving him another opportunity! Ha ha! And he wasn't deterred by the request at all - as many kids would be - and sang a whole bunch of his songs! I was elated. And to top it off, my daughter knew the songs too and joined in making it a joyful time. Wow - what an experience. Thank you God for beautiful moments in life. :-)


Will add more about these moments tomorrow. In the meantime check out this awesome song by Lincoln Brewster  and Darlene Zschech called 'The Power of Your Name'.  Its really beautiful! :) I have the link already downloaded for you from Youtube on my devotional blogsite. Here's the link:
