Awesome satellite photos

and the larger Dead Sea (L)

Some amazing pics from astronaut Barry Wilmore who flew over the Holyland on Christmas morning. Just think of it ... of all places, in this desert surrounded tiny strip of land ... God chose to become a human. Awesome.

The Holyland ... the connecting land bridge between Europe, Asia and Africa ... 3 great continents. What a better place for God to manifest himself.

Well back to mundane things. Christmas is another working day for me. Had to clear up the stinking compost and fill up hundreds of flower pots. Under the sun, the stench decimates. But last week the mound of one year's compost was simply too much to bear. The awful smell was fouling up the entire house. The plants and flowers are going to enjoy the nutrients though. We can expect lots of beautiful flowers in Spring. And the lemons should be abundant too. I harvested the lemons of this year ... not very many. About 50 in all but they were dry and hard the tree looked sickly.

Healthwise my asthma is much under control though it occurs several times but not severely. The feet are still alittle swollen though and they still hurt alot. The neuroma problem is not solved. Wearing the orthopedic shoes help alot to alleviate the pain. Well I hope 2014 will pass with all these ailments gone. I really wish 2015 would be better to me.
