Lake Junaluska, North Carolina - “The LORD is My Strength”

 

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.

PSALM 28:7 (NIV)

Lake Junaluska - I Confess with My Mouth “Jesus is LORD”

 

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”  For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:9-13

Lake Junaluska, Blue Ridge Mountains - “The Word of our God Endures Forever”

 

 

The grass withers and the flowers fall,

but the word of our God endures forever.”

Isaiah 40:8

Butterfly Waltz at Lake Junaluska

We drove around Lake Junaluska and saw several "butterfly bushes" with hundreds of butterflies waltzing from one flower to another.  I have never witness so  many in natural surroundings.  I tried to concentrate on one landing on the top of the bush.  It was a waltz to remember.

There were hundreds of ducks but the grace of two swarms and their reflection in the water was simply Divine.

Two ducks were sitting on a log and the reflection of the evergreen tree and the ducks merge together in the water.

A "chautauqua" Place to be bless - Lake Junaluska

The cross with it's silhouette against the heaven is being bless with rays of sunlight.  .Lake Junaluska is where the United Methodist Church has it's World Methodist Council headquarters.  Many assemblies and meetings are held here throughout the year.  The park around the lake is used by many local residents.  People were walking, jogging and enjoying the beautiful  mountain atmosphere. 

This is the view from the outdoor assembly area where the cross stood.  We definitely want to go back and stay longer.
