Hi Carrie! Hope you are having a beautiful Wednesday!

Are there times when you feel like a duck with no water in which to utilize the natural yearnings churning within you? Are you lonely even though you are surrounded by masses of people, good friends and loving family? Whether we realize it or not, believer or unbeliever, our loneliness stems from our homesickness for our Heavenly Father. From our inborn knowledge that there is more to our lives then what we now see. God who breathed His own life into us, and caused us to become eternal beings, is the One who holds the answers to our quest for fulfillment, joy, peace, and contentment. Only in God will we ever find the completeness of life which we lost in the Garden of Eden! It is by following carefully the instructions of His word that we are able to walk above the torments of doubt, fear, anxiety and the whole host of deceiving powers of darkness that try to keep us bound to Adam and Eve's failure in the Paradise of God's love. It's a new day we have been redeemed. Stand up and say so, to yourself first and then to the whole world around you.

May the light of Christ reflection shine through you like a beacon in the darkness guiding others to the bounty of His grace.

Sylvia :)

Thanks for letting me know Carrie! will try to make it, tho i'm like you, an early-to-bedder 8> GB you and your work! hugs....carlynn
Sylvia on 9/05/10 - 3:40 PM
Thanks for stopping by my place, Carrie. I am blessed by your visit!
I am so glad we are free to be living images of our Creator aren't you?

IN BONDAGE NO MORE. As we resist the master of evils attempts to lodge his thoughts in our mind (in order to blind and separates us from who we now are) he must flee. We are a royal nation, a holy priesthood, and kings of the King, doers of the impossible and conquerors of all evil! satan's obstacles are temporary; our victory is for today and forever. Have a wonderful and victorious week!

Sylvia :)

Carrie,

Thank you for stopping by and looking at the pipe organs and their churches. There are some gorgeous pipe organs and cathedrals all over Europe. *smiles*

Hi, dearest Carrie! Yep, I'm going to the ACFW conference this year. Can't wait. You'll find me on the worship team this year. I'm very excited about this opportunity and privilege.

Do you know about the chocolate party in Michelle Sutton's hotel room? She always hosts it on Friday or Saturday night - don't remember which night. Be watching the loop for news on this. Just bring some chocolate to share and enjoy lots of conversation and laughs.

Carrie,

Did you get to see the pictures of the churches and pipe organs?

You'll go over to Europe. I know you'll want to stay there for a long time. There is so much to see and do and learn.

Your male character goes to Aachen?

Your welcome, thank you for stopping by.

Blessings,
Catherine

Carrie,

Thank you for stopping by and looking at the pictures. That covered bridge in Lucerne was originally built in 1333, but fire destroyed a lot of it in, I think it was, 1933, but they rebuilt it. When the Europeans rebuild an historical site or building, they match it exactly to the original.

Blessings,
Catherine

Carrie,

I have seen the Aachen Cathedral. It is awesome!!! Actually, I haven't seen a cathedral or church in Europe that I was disappointed in.

I have pictures up for you. The first group is in Holland. Those were the ones I found first.

Have you considered using a Cathedral like the one in Augsburg. Augsburg has alot of beautiful cathedral size churches. In fact, Martin Luther hid out in one of them during all the problem after the Worms edict. I'll have to look around for those pictures for you also.

I'll keep looking and putting up pictures until I run out of cathedrals or until you say stop.

Blessings,
Catherine
Catherine on 8/17/10 - 1:50 PM
Carrie,

I added a picture folder named "Churches and their pipe organs". The first group of pictures is of churches and organs in the Netherlands. I'll continue to look and add more pictures for you. This is just the start. *smiles*

Blessings,
Catherine

Carrie,

Yes, round but the chapel had a squarish section also. But the chapel is very small - that is what impressed me the most. And yet it had a pipe organ.

Blessings,
Catherine

Carrie,

Which two cathedrals are you writing about?

In 2004 I set up a trip to Europe for some friends and my husband and me. In 2008 I set up a trip for some of my students and me to perform in England. But the big reason I spent so much time in Europe is because I lived in Germany two different times for a total of about 8 years.

We should travel together over there. *smiles*

Blessings,
Catherine

Carrie,

I have heard so many of cathedral organs. I have even been allowed to play some of them. They are so beautiful sounding. But the bells of the cathedrals and churches really touch me. As soon as they start ringing I stop what I am doing and listen.

I'll look around and see if I have any videos of the organs or if I have pictures that I can show you of the organs. But please give me some time to look.

Blessings,
Catherine

Carrie,

Nearly every little town in Europe had a church or chapel. It was the chapel that served the town at the time when the song was written.

Blessings,

Carrie,

It looked just like a little girl would picture a castle to look. *smiles*

Thank you for stopping by. I've been putting up pictures and also some blogs about things in Europe. One of the teens I talk to asked me what it was like in Europe. So, I'm sharing with everyone. *smiles*

Blessings,
Catherine
