Five Loaves and Two Fishes by Corrinne May

Here is another favorite song of mine by Corrinne May.


Lyrics of Five Loaves and Two Fishes
Corrinne May
from the album Beautiful Seed

A little boy of thirteen was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom, even the kids could understand

The hours passed so quickly, the day turned into night
Everyone was hungry but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunch box, at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do, there were thousands to be fed

But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus, the kindness in His smile
And the boy cried out with the trust of a child, he said,

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
To feed them all."

I often think about that boy when I'm feeling small
And I worry that the work I do means nothing at all
But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands
And every door that slams in my face, I will offer up in prayer
So I'll give You every breath that I have
Oh Lord, You can work miracles
All You need is my "Amen"

So, take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small

I trust in You, I trust in You

So take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
No gift is too small

Lily Pictures- from Bud to Full Bloom

This plant was given by our neighbor. It took three days for the bud to bloom.

I noticed these buds above on February 19, 2008

Hibiscus Flowers

I like taking close-up pictures of flowers with my trusty old point-and-shoot 4-megapixel camera with close-up and super-close-up settings.

Here are some hibiscus flower close-up pictures:

Infinity Pool at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, Nasugbu, Batangas, Philippines


I'm not a professional photographer and I only use an old 4-megapixel Olympus digital camera, but I like this picture I took of the infinity pool at the beach resort we went to, which is 125 kilometers south of Manila, Philippines. :-)
