No Dragons to Slay

July 8th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Reflections, Uncategorized

I have no dragons to slay today, so I am at peace – for the first time in a good while.

Dragons have been attacking me from all around and for far as I could see.  Little ones, big ones, fast ones, slow ones, obnoxious ones and some that crept up upon on cats’ paws, nearly taking me out before I was even aware of them.

I feel as if I’ve been taking part in some of the stories told in the book of Revelation with dragons having seven heads, all clamoring for me at once.

What say ye?  Any dragons in your life of late?  If so, how do you feel about that and how do you conquer them?

I don’t know about you, but for me, trust in God to be MY great defender in all has been my life saver.

For the moment, all of my dragons are at bay.  How about yours?  I cannot sit and rest, too long, though, for wounded dragons sometime roar back again more ferociously than ever.

Still . . . it is good to have a still and quiet day now and again, you know?  I have longed for this day for the longest of times, too, which makes it doubly a pleasure.

Well, enough of dragons for today, how is your picture taking and collecting going for the Finding Direction Summer 2010 Photo Contest – theme, “Summer Time and the Livin’ is Easy?”  Entries have begun coming in and the FD Judges are chomping at the bits to get a look at all of them.  You have until August 15th in which to enter.

Remember that the photos do NOT even have to be your own,  for those of you w/o the gift of photography.  There are certainly lots of photos on the internet to choose from, if you don’t have access any other way to summertime fun photos.

That’s it for today.  Comment and let me know how you fight your dragons and give me some ideas about fighting mine, okay?!

Cheers!  And many blessings to each of you who read this.  You Dragon Slayers all!  (If you are really a “hidden” dragon trying to sneak up on me, forget it.  I’ve got you covered!)

    I’m glad your dragons are dead, Dee. I have a few but I know Someone who can deal with them for me. As for the photo contest, why are you teasing people? You’ve already gotten several winning photos from me. Let’s not waste anyone else’s time.

    This reminded me of my Aunt Frances who spoke of her dragons. For me, just when everything seems to be comfortable, all of a sudden something happens that turns it all upside down and then it takes a while to find a new comfort level. Got so that when I feel really good about how life is going, I start putting up my guard, you know? :o )

    No dragons here, thankfully.
    Still trying to come up with a pic that represents summer for me.
