Snowflakes, Fingerprints and Cats

Grandma has been sending us her homemade Tribond game lately.
Three words that all have something in common.
Like: horse, shore and salt.

Well here is one of my own.
Snowflakes, fingerprints and cats.
Perhaps we know that every snowflake is differnet, and every fingerprint is different but cats?
I have heard that every tiger has a different creation of stripes, but today I am reflecting on the cat's personality.
We have had a few cats in our time.
A cat that liked to climb, fetch, chase her tail,and stand on her hind legs to say "please"; a cat that liked to walk on the piano keys, yowl, stay outside at night and lay on Dave's feet; and a cat who pretty much just liked to sleep. Our cat right now loves to be as close to you as physically possible, get brushed (she runs and jumps on your lap when you go to the brush drawer), licks everything in sight, flies through the house at 2 a.m. and... walks on the computer keyboard as you are trying to type - leaving a great deal of strange markings in one's writing.///////////ipjm;kjplm

I don't know about you, but I find it amazing that animals have such distince personalities from one antoher.


And it isn't just cats. We fostered baby squirrels one year and even they were all so very different from one another - not just in looks, but in their behaviour! introverts and extroverts, bold and shy, friendly and standoffish...in squirrels!

For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him 

I think He must enjoy His creation being so unique. 

The answer to the Tribond above: is "sea"
Seahorse, seashore, sea salt.

Reflecting (video)

Last Sunday, Anna-Lee and I had the wonderful opportunity of sharing of our experiences in Israel with our church family.

Below is a 4 1/2 minute Power Point slide show you can view to catch a glimpse of a few sights.
So, turn your volume up, hit play, and let your heart travel to Israel along with your eyes. You can enlarge the video to full screen but will lose some resolution.
