The sky is darkening as grey nimbus clouds form overhead. You rush to bring in the clothes that are drying on the line before the first drops begin to fall. Thirsty plants prepare for happy hour where the drinks are free and completely refreshing. The timpani of heaven thunder as the storm clouds release their cargo of rain on the parched earth. Lightning flashes illuminate the sky in a glorious display. The soothing rhythm of raindrops on the rooftop relaxes every muscle in your body. What a perfect opportunity for a nap!

The wind is blowing, the rain is lashing down - oh my! But don't worry. Just think how well your vegetables will grow after I've gone.

It’s cold outside, but you are warm inside your home. Because your window was exposed to warmth on one side and cold on another, frost has covered your windows. It is beautiful, isn’t it? Come closer. Stick your nose on the window and see if you can see the ice patterns. Quickly! Before the sun melts them!

The gentle pitter-patter of raindrops on the window doesn't have to be the harbinger of a grey mood. The sound of rain is one of the most relaxing sounds in nature. Curl up on the window seat with a good book, your pet and a cup of warm tea and escape to destinations far and wide.

The wind is raging at 50 knots/hour, whipping the ocean into foaming 10-meter waves. Lightning flashes across the horizon, accompanied by deafening thunderous timpani. Heavy rain is falling, and tree branches are breaking as the gale hits shore. Close your shutters, stay indoors, and pray that no boats are out on the water.

Strong winds are stirring rising tide waters into surges, and dark clouds are rolling in. As the ocean starts to vent its rage, you rush to shore, secure your boat in the marina, and find shelter from the coming storm.

Rocky promontories jut out into the rushing river, constricting the flow of water into roaring rapids. Courageous extreme adventurers don helmets and life jackets to experience the thrill of white water rafting. The rest of us will enjoy the beauty of these invigorating rapids from the shore.

Can you hear the delicate percussion of rain falling on your cottage window? Can you see the water droplets forming a filigree of little rivulets on the glass? There is nothing quite so soothing as a cool autumn rain. Your cottage is enshrouded in mist, and inside your stores of winter food are neatly stored away. It is time to let the sound of the rain on your window lull you into a peaceful sleep. After all your hard work with the harvest, you deserve a good rest.

I'm here when you want to add the finishing touch to your winter or polar scene. Penguins really love me!

What could be sweeter than gently falling rain on a calm day? Admittedly I may be biased here, of course!

A spooky black and white Fall scene.

The New Testament records different aspects of the crucifixion and resurrection in all four gospels. But is there any proof that something so unusual really happened? Can we trust the Bible?

Skeptics sometimes suggest that the story of Jesus' resurrection is a legend, embellished over time. But how can it be legend when there are manuscripts which have been dated AD 70, just a few decades from the actual events? This is proof of authenticity because there were plenty of people still alive that could have contested the events as recorded. No ancient first century documents exist that contest anything written in those manuscripts. Additionally, there are more than 5,000 ancient New Testament Greek manuscripts that have been cataloged and another 19,000 copies in other languages. No other literary work comes close to that number. The closest is Homer's "Iliad" which has over 600 manuscripts that were penned 500 years after the original. Many other ancient documents have fewer than 50 copies and are over a century removed from the original. The more texts that are available, the more reliable the writings, because they can be cross-checked for accuracy. If the New Testament is regarded as unreliable, then so must all the other ancient writings, as there are far fewer of them in existence.

Other theories proposed by skeptics are that Jesus didn't really die or that His disciples stole the body after it was placed in the tomb and made up the story about His resurrection to keep Christianity alive. But that doesn't explain the account that the guards, obviously not followers of Jesus, confirmed he had died and took him down from the cross and allowed the women to prepare his body for burial; or that many of the followers of Jesus eventually gave up their own lives when presented with the opportunity to deny Jesus or die. Why would they do that for a lie they had supposedly made up?

It's not simply a matter of faith. There is much evidence that the Bible is authentic and reliable.

On a warm sunny day, without a cloud in the sky, the sea is a plane of shimmering glass. The slightest hint of a breeze begins to blow, coaxing the slumbering ocean into gentle lapping waves. What perfect weather for kayaking and canoeing.

One of the true delights of fair weather is watching fluffy white cumulus cloud shapes, etched by an invisible artist on a vast canvas of blue sky. Cloud watching is best done with a good friend, lying on your backs or sitting comfortably. You see an elephant; your friend sees an angel. You both say “Train” at the same time and have a good laugh. Your friend spots an ice cream cone, and you see a hamburger. It must be time for lunch. Who knew that so many joyous hours could be spent just watching cumulus clouds on a sunny day?

Small colourful autumn leaves fall from the top of your scene.

From a gentle breeze to gale-force gusts, the power of wind cannot be contained. Invisible yet immensely strong, the tempest can tenderly tousle your tresses, or whisk you off your feet. It carefully lifts the fragile petals from the branches to dance with it, yet forcefully yanks your umbrella inside-out. That’s the thing about wind. You never know where it’s going to blow next...or what mood it will be in when it gets there.

Some of the deep underwater caverns of the world are filled with azurite, a deep blue stone associated with intuition and guidance. Will these walls guide you to what you desire to find?
