Now twenty-ten’s really kicked in! So now in February we are going to take a new theme: ‘Doors.‘ Doors lead somewhere new…! Waiting for your pictures and thoughts…. send them in.

Follow the light

Drawing me into the garden..

Imagine

This is the front door of a croft at Sand bay near Applecross on the west coat of Scotland. It was the home of Monty Hall where he tried to live as a crofter for 6 months in 2008 as filmed in the first episode of the BBC2 series Monty Halls’ Great Escape.

I can imagine that life here would be quite uncluttered and have very little distraction, tucked away from civilisation and 21st centuary comforts.

To me, it seems that the door is just a thin partition to keep out wild weather or welcome the light of day and glorious view. There are no windows in this one room croft, only another (back) door.

This all speaks to me of God desiring that we allow Him to remove everything in our heart that keeps His love out, of His desire to fill us with His wonderful presence so that we become full of His love and fully who He has made us to be and of His desire that we really do find fullness of pleasure in Him. He will do it if we let Him!

Keep out

Sounds of drilling within!  A door in Santa Catalina district of Palma.  A temporary door on an old, old theatre building..

Open door

Sometimes the darkness can threaten to overwhelm us, then we notice the open door leading to the sun …

Crossing the Border

Kyle and a turtle…

Nearly missed it

I learnt to slow down from the crazy pace of London when I lived in Scotland and although I like driving fast I ambled down this little lane to Redcastle one day in second gear and passed this door in the wall.

Could be that we miss doors by heading too fast down a familiar road? Anyway this one was locked and try as I did to pick the padlock, it was a no go…cute though to look at.

Exploring..

I like doors.  Maybe it’s inquisitive. I always want to go through.  This little door was in a little town Santa Maria, we went there to explore.

Oddly enough a school there is in the process of linking to a school in Wales and maybe there will be a way for me to get involved.  Worth pushing -maybe it’ll open maybe it won’t, that’s exploring though huh?  You never know where you might end up.
