cor.us.ca.tion (ˌkɒrəˈskeɪʃən) -- a sudden flash of light; sparkle; scintilate; gleam

I was fascinated with this word after reading the above quote from C. S. Lewis. What a marvelous thought that God gives us glimpses of His image on this earth by "coruscating" Himself in our daily lives. The purpose of this blog is to "coruscate" Him back "with radiant face;" to "reflect in flashes" who He is by praising Him for His work in my life.

The fellowship of believers is one of God's richest blessings. If anything I write here points you to Christ, or sheds the slightest glimmer of light along your path, then all the Glory belongs to God! Thanks for reading, and may the Father richly bless you!

Glorify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Psalm 34:3-5

Budapest is Beautiful!

It was so much fun to play tourist again and see some new things as well as some favorite sights.

First new spot was Heroes Square, which was built for the millennium of the country in 1896. A huge column is encircled by a series of statues of the kings of Hungary. The square is flanked by two museums, and one has some unbelievable mosaic work on it.








Then we went up to the old citadel which offers an unbelievable view of the Danube and Budapest. The height here will give you an idea of the hilly side of the city which is Buda. In the distance on the right you can see the Hungarian Parliament building. Look for the red dome and spires.





We finished the tour at my favorite spot in Budapest, the Fisherman's Bastion and the Matyas Templom. The treat for me this year was to see the church free of scaffolding. Last year it was mostly enclosed as renovations were being completed.
Such a treat to be back in this city. My love and appreciation for it and for Hungary continue to grow.





Oh, and had to enjoy a "big salad" for lunch. Um, big is a bit of an understatement! Jaj!!!!!
