Island in the Sun

Come Sail Away, come sail away, come sail away with me... This photograph reminds me of the old song by A&M Records' band Styx. For a mid-June day, the idea of disappearing off to an island in the sun seems so appealing- but work and obligations bring me back to reality. One day, all will be at rest when God calls those who love Jesus to be home with him for eternity. Then, peace and joy will be the constant of the day and striving gone for good. Definitely a reason again to praise God!

Come Sail Away

The warmth of the sun. The smell of the sea air, and the softness of the sand. Can there be anything better to daydream about on a cold and snowy winter day? No.

I saw this photo (photographer unknown) and thought of the classic song by Styx, Come Sail Away. Then, it was the Beach Boys and The Warmth of the Sun. Then, it was my favorite Carpenters song, Boat to Sail. (You've got to hear Karen Carpenter sing this and the great piano by brother Richard.)  And then it was...

The list goes on and on and on.
