darkness and light




I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave, you are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning, 
If I dwell by the farthest oceans, 
even there your hand will guide me, 
and your strength will support me.
I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night--
but even in the darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you
Psalm 139: 7-12 (NLT)

fall colours, London calling...




 The beauty of fall in Pennsylvania never ceases to amaze me.  I'm blessed to have been here to experience it this year.  If you haven't already read it in some other form, I have good news.  My visa is set and plane ticket purchased and I'm heading back to London-town!  The time I've had here in Pennsylvania has been amazing but I'm ready to go back to the UK.  Although I love the leaves and the creeks and the paths through the trees, I miss the British Museum, Oxford Circus, and my little house.  
Unfortunately, I'll be returning to sunset being around 4:45 in the afternoon and it will only get worse for about two more months.  (At least I'm not even further north!) Now that's just not right!  I much prefer the sun going down around 10 p.m, as it does during the summer months!
I might need some ideas of places to explore in England in the winter months...feel free to leave comments or email if you have any suggestions!
