My mother told me that I need to be more creative with my time. And, no, decorating journals and watching Doctor Who at the same time is not the same thing as being creative.... So! I've decided to write something instead of watching television tonight =) And, it's still Tuesday, so it's another Tuesday Special! Yippy!
Episode #3- The Eiffel Tower and Ireland
I've developed a mild obsession this year for the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. I literally can count--let's see--eight things in my line of sight that have the Eiffel Tower on them. It's not an all together practical thing to fancy, but, dude, there are literally over 1600 steps to the very top. That's a stinking lot of stairs! It's been around for 124 years and it's still one of the most toured places in the world. It's just a very large pyramidal iron pillar, yes, and it is not one of the wonders of the world, but it is so rich in history. Over 200,000,000 people have visited it since it was opened in the March of 1889. Can you imagine looking at the same thing people have admired for decades? Why, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway will have looked at that towering, well, tower. Anyhow, it's just been a fixation of mine recently. I hope you don't mind my rambling. Moving on.
Ireland. Maybe it would be a better idea not to talk about Ireland.... Nah, I'm gonna do it anyway. Ireland is my dreamland. I've never been there, but even pictures of it gets me daydreaming.
Don't even get me started on Irish accents. I adore Irish accents, and that's all I'm gonna say before I get really embarrassed. It's not just the landscapes and the way people talk in Ireland that makes me really admire it, it's the culture. Their way of life is so much simpler, so much more whole (grant it, they know how to have a good drink, but I try to look past that). I'm really drawn to Ireland, too, because it is in need of Jesus' love. If I were ever to go on a missions trip, I would go to Ireland. I'm not gonna go any deeper with that, because, well, because it's not a Monday. If you want to know more about how I feel for Ireland, ask me about it sometime! =D
Man! It's getting late. I'm going to sign off now. Happy Tuesday to you all!
And, just in case you happen live in New Zealand, happy Wednesday too! ;)
Be Bold. Be Blessed. Be Bodacious.
