IN THE YEAR THAT KING UZZIAH DIED
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of His robe filled the temple” (Isaiah 6:1).

To Be Loved By Sunshine
I could lay here blissfully for the rest of my life. The smell of dirt and grass filled my nostrils. A light breeze running through my hair. I could feel it through my eyelashes. Lifting away the hardships of the past several years. I breathed it all in, I breathed in life for the first time since I was a child. Remembering what it was that I loved about the countryside. Away from the desks and computers, the people, the constant clatter of machinery slaving away.

The Woods
The olden wooden bridge echoed each step as the heel of my black leather boots tapped the slats that stretched the width of the winter river below. As I walked, my slender piano fingers glided over the splintered railing to the rhythm of the rushing water underfoot. Extended fingers searched for the smooth silvery heads of the nails amidst the weathered splintered planks. With each needle-sharp snag, my hand jumped slightly to avoid sticking myself.

I watched as the beaten-up paddock Ute drove down the dusty road, carrying my Ella and our kelpie pup inside. Those same wheels that would go fetch lost sheep was now town-bound, towards safety. I wanted to go, and I knew I should have, but I couldn't lose the house, not like this.

How High's The Water
It was a warm and sunny afternoon in April. We knew our rainy season was approaching but it wasn’t here yet. At least, not according to the meteorologists. Florida’s rainy season is supposed to begin June first of each year and just like our hurricane season, end on November first of each year. A meteorologist will also predict our water levels.

Unforgettable Experiences
Remember being young and listening to your parents' conversations? Remember listening in and shaking your head in disbelief? I was one of those kids who loved listening to my parents' conversations, and I always thought they were exaggerating; there was no way. Sometimes they were exaggerating others; they were under exaggerating. I remember being eight-years-old listening to my mom and her friends talk about earthquakes, and I was like, earthquakes? What is that? They told me it's when the earth would shake due to sudden movements along the faults of the earth. Eight-year-old me was like this one of their over-exaggeration stories. There's no way the earth could shake; just crazy. Then, a year later, on January 12, 2010, everything went down, literally!

Spilled champagne on a fresh white material decorative spread. French theatergoers at Lido, a vaudeville supper club in Paris-France encompass me. I'm at a long rectangular table, alone. During my time in Paris I had needed to give off an impression of being a ready and unassuming lady with class, this story subtleties how I marginally came up short on that. The French certainly have tough aides on friendly manners and decency contrasted with North America. In preparing for an excursion to Paris I'd followed numerous YouTube bloggers in Paris, for the most part expats who repeated a similar opinion.
Scouting for Adults
More than half of the eighteen years I've spent on this planet have been spent as a scout. To be honest, I think being a scout is something I'll keep for the rest of my life, even if they become tired of me and toss me out. For the past 10 years, Scouting has been the most interesting, adventurous, supporting, caring, and challenging aspect of my life, and I hope it will continue to be for the next ten.
