Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Day 5 Already???

It is so hard to believe how fast this week is disappearing!  But, that is the way it is with vacations, isn't it?!

After walking all over Boston yesterday, we ALL slept in today.....til about 7 a.m.  Did I mention we were in bed by about 9:30 or 10 last night?  :D

So, after we got our showers and ate breakfast, we left Boston a few minutes after 9 a.m.  We took a different route out of the city to head north and we missed most of that horrendous Boston traffic!

As you can see from the pictures, it was another beautiful day for traveling!  Our first stop was the Nubble Light (aka Cape Neddick Light) in the bottom of Maine.  Some young man was kind enough to offer to take our picture when he saw me holding the camera at arms length.  Tim returned the favor to them.

Here's a nice picture of Tim's mom with the lighthouse in the background.  It was so beautiful and peaceful we could have stayed all day just listening to the seagulls.  She and I both bought a print for ourselves of this lighthouse.  The artist painted boats into his paintings and he was entering our name and date onto the boat today.  He was giving the money from these prints to a charity.

Our next stop was Kennebunkport where we drove down Ocean Avenue to take pictures of the Bush Compound out on Walker's Point.  Notice the flag at half staff for the Americans that were killed in Lybia.

Well, we are not seeing much fall color like Tim and I did the first time we came leaf peeping here back in 2006, but there is a bit of color!

And, our final stop for the day, Portland Head Lighthouse at Cape Elizabeth.  So pretty!

OK, here's a test for you.  Where did we go shopping today?  Here's your clue:


Nite!
