Splish Splash ...

“Splish splash, I was taking a bath …

I was a rolling and a-strolling

Reeling with the feeling

Moving and a-grooving

Splishing and a-splashing, yeah …”

       ~ “Splish Splash”

     ~ 1958 novelty rock song performed & co-written by the wonderful Bobby Darin; it was Darin’s first hit and the song helped to give him a major boost in his career

A Muscovy Duck is reeling with the feeling, moving and a-grooving, splishing and a-splashing in the Monocacy Creek on a beautiful late May afternoon at Monocacy Park, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania ~ a real splash of spring!

 

Safe Passage ...

“My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.”

   ~ Billy Graham

   ~ 1918-2018

 ~ American evangelist, prominent evangelical Christian figure, and ordained Southern Baptist minister who became well-known internationally in the late 1940s. One of his biographers has placed him “among the most influential Christian leaders” of the 20^th century.

I spotted this “Jesus 2024” sign in front of Friedens United Church of Christ, Slatington, Pennsylvania and had to stop to photograph this uplifting sight as a car sped by on Route 873 on a late May evening in this election year.

In these tumultuous times especially, it is a reminder that when all else is failing, Jesus is still there for us, and a powerful reminder of the hope that Jesus brings as we travel through this world.
