The Disciples (friends of Jesus), a part of my 10 x 17 inch painting. In a light brown, because that is how I separated a 115 people on this painting, as the ones coming from the past. Some were fishermen, a tax collector, etc. They turned the world upside down in their times
and caused incredible waves!
They were real people with some good and not so good
characteristics. For example: impatient Peter, sons of Zebedee. always fighting over girls,
pinching pennies Matthew,
treasonous Judas.
But Jesus called them his friends, and chose them
to be the ones who would spread
His Good News to the ends of the earth.
Am jealous of the faith and mercy he had for people.

What about them waves? Standing on the bridge and looking down on a runoff for the
water supply in Auburn, turning into a wild river.
One Word Sun – Wave
Wordless Wednesday
MAYBE WEIRD TO SAY
FOR A CITY SLICKER,
but I miss seeing cattle on the way to the grocery store:)
Some waves. Hubby fishing in Yosemite Nat. Park
Oh, and his blurry reflection in the foreground

And what a contrast with that beautifully gentle sky.
Happy Sunday, Jesh

I stood on the bridge capturing these waves, and the roar of it was so aggressive that I couldn’t wait to get off that bridge:) Hope you’re having nice weather over there:)

Thank you Carol – you probably also have Bougainvillea where you live? They must be very sturdy plants because one of my brothers use to have a collection of them in Holland, a much colder climate (similar to the UK)/

Your comment made me smile, because not too long ago I complained to God about one of my friends, also a believer, and to my surprise I got his reply back “I dealt with that all the time!” (now I have to look it up in my journal what actually had taken place). His grace and mercy is so much greater than mine, that he didn’t gossip about this friends, and is not recorded in the Gospels!

Thank you 🙂 In California where I used to live the Bougainvillea is a very common and sturdy flower, usually used as a wall- or fence climber, or hedge.

Oh, is it actually allowed to fish in Yosemite National Park? I had not thought of that. – I love the flowers of bougainvillea. Kind regards – Elke

Hello Elke, at least back then it was allowed (we haven’t been there past few years), probably because they also have camping grounds (a big one for tents, and also some small ones for trailers, but it takes a long time – half a year – to find an open place). Thanks for hosting:)
