In the Psalms of the Old Testament you will find the word Selah within the individual Psalms. I had to do some checking into what that really means. There are different interpretations depending on where you read for a definition.
One definition of Selah that I found was this, “The Selah is there to signal the believer to ‘measure’ carefully the meaning of what has been said. i.e., here is some deeper wisdom, reflect on it and understand its true meaning.”
Another definition of Selah is to pause…consider…take time. This is the one that I think of when I look at this picture of Bond Falls that I took last fall.
Life has been busy this past year. This weekend I’m looking forward to a time to pause. Selah! A change in scenery, location and schedule. Nothing as grand as a vacation but a time to enjoy my surroundings and people in my life outside of work and home. The weather is supposed to be great so I am looking forward to taking some pictures along the way and some time to rest, read and revive to finish the year well.

Thanks Nancy. Looking forward to it. Now just trying to decide whether or not to ride the motorcycle to Alexandria for the weekend. The weather is supposed to be fabulous. No matter what I drive the time away will be worth it.

What a precious name for a little girl. I loved my time at Bond Falls last year. This weekend I spent the time next to a beautiful lake in northern MN with the most incredible fall colors.

Thank you Patti. Everyone should take some time away even if they don’t feel like they have the time to do it. It was a wonderful refreshing weekend.
