Lookin’ for Adventure
While being under the weather today, I was looking at an old issue of Somerset Digital Studio (Autumn 2012) when I noticed some artwork that looked like Anna Aspnes’ products. So I began reading the article and, sure enough, the artist was using Anna’s products. Her gallery is here at O’Scraps. I looked at the very first page in her gallery and decided to use it as inspiration for my page.
Journaling reads: The saying, “It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey” is certainly true for those of us who love to travel via motorcycle!
Mark rarely travels a 4-lane highway if there is any way around it! And he tries to avoid city traffic where there are lots of stop lights. We want to be moving not standing still! And that is especially true the warmer the temperature is!
We enjoy taking the scenic route! And the curvier the road the better! If someone had told me several years ago that I would love riding a motorcycle I would have told them they were crazy! But, here I am at 68 and loving it! I told Mark not too long ago that as long as I could lift my leg to get on I would ride! 8/3/24

FOCUS is the art of knowing what to IGNORE. Does that mean we have to ignore our memories? Can we live in the NOW but remember the PAST? I believe we can. After all, our memory is a gift God gave to us. Our memories tell our story. Memories encourage us to remember God’s faithfulness, the lessons we’ve learned, and the important events that shape our spiritual journey. When we remember the joyful and challenging moments of our past it helps us grow in wisdom and trust in God. “This I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:21-23
We have to live in the present, but we don’t have to forget the past! “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.” Psalm 77:11. That being said, our FOCUS for everyday living must be directed to the LORD. Proverbs 3:6 says, “In everything you do, put God first, and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success,” and 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” When we put God first, we live our lives with the purpose of pleasing God, following His will for our lives and obeying His commands and the Holy Spirit's direction.
