Inspiration
Now I know what is meant by the saying "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words"
Look at the hands Parting the Sky!!!!!!
AMAZING
GOD PARTING THE SKY
“Cara Winship sent this out, it is called: 'God's hands’.
I took this picture on Hwy 30, traveling to London, KY. It has given me strength in the times of trouble. I feel I should share it with the rest of the world. I hope it is an inspiration to you. It just goes to show what we already know....We have a God and he's watching over us.
I e-mailed this picture to News Channel 36. I was contacted by Meteorologist John James. He said that this picture of the sky is showing up, in all states, around the world. He wanted to know where I was from and where I took it. He saw a similar picture taken in Texas. He said this is amazing to him.
It reminds me of that song 'He's got the whole word in his hands'. He is definitely in control. I needed this today more than ever. Enjoy!”
Keep reminding yourself of the truth that God is Good ALL the time. We are SO… blessed! Even those of us who seem to be going through times that continue to feel like they are more than we can handle. God’s word is true and it tells us that He will never give us more than we can handle. He is ALWAYS there for us to carry our burden. Our part is to trust in Him, lean on Him, trust in Him, rely on Him, trust in Him and His infinite, amazing, and unconditional love for us. Remember how blessed we are.
Homework: Think of 10 things that you are blessed about. I bet you can’t do it because once you get started you can go on and on and on and on!!! Now
FOCUS on those things. It will mysteriously cause your trials to grow smaller and smaller.

New Online Edition of 2009 Nebraska Travel Guide
LINCOLN, NEB. (July 15, 2009)—As more and more travelers look to maximize the value of their vacations and an increasing number of hotels, attractions and tourist destinations offer high-speed wireless Internet connections, the Web has become a primary method for getting travel and tourism information. With this in mind, the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) Travel and Tourism Division has launched a new online version of its 2009 Nebraska Travel Guide, available now at www.VisitNebraska.gov.
The new online 2009 Nebraska Travel Guide is laid out identically to the 192-page printed version and offers book-like navigation for easy cross referencing. Embedded hyperlinks within the online guide allow users to point-and-click to the Web sites of featured events, destinations, attractions and Nebraska Tourism partners, making it even easier to quickly access the resources travelers need most.
According to Christian Hornbaker, director of DED’s Travel and Tourism Division, the online 2009 Nebraska Travel Guide is one way the state is leveraging new technologies to demonstrate how easy it is to have an exciting, cost-effective family vacation in Nebraska.
“As travelers become increasingly focused on putting together memorable, substantive vacations for their families on a budget, we’re proud to be able to offer this easy-to-use resource,” Hornbaker said. “Not only can travelers use the online 2009 Nebraska Travel Guide to plan their Nebraska vacation, but they can also access it during their vacation anywhere an Internet connection is available. It’s a virtual guide to Nebraska.”
Best of all, the online 2009 Nebraska Travel Guide is absolutely free. Simply go to www.VisitNebraska.gov and click on the “Free Travel Guide” link to start planning your Nebraska vacation today.
