World's Most Unique Churches!

Harajuku: Japanese Futuristic Church
This futuristic non Catholic church is located in Tokyo and it was first unveiled by the design firm of Ciel Rouge Creation in 2005. The ceiling is specially made to reverberate natural sound for 2 seconds to provide a unique listening experience for worshipers and tourists.



Saint Basil’s Cathedral : The Red Square ’s Colorful Church
The St. Basil’s Cathedral is located on the Red Square in Moscow , Russia . A Russian Orthodox church, the Cathedral sports a series of colorful bulbous domes that taper to a point, aptly named onion domes, that are part of Moscow ’s Kremlin skyline. The cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible to commemorate the capture of the Khanate of Kazan. In 1588 Tsar Fedor Ivanovich had a chapel added on the eastern side above the grave of Basil Fool for Christ, a Russian Orthodox saint after whom the cathedral was popularly named.



Hallgrimskirkja : Iceland ’s Most Amazing Church
The Hallgrmskirkja (literally, the church of Hallgrmur ) is a Lutheran parish church located in Reykjavk , Iceland . At 74.5 meters (244 ft), it is the fourth tallest architectural structure in Iceland . The church is named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrmur Ptursson (1614 to 1674), author of the Passion Hymns. State Architect Gujn Samelsson’s design of the church was commissioned in 1937; it took 38 years to build it.



Temppeliaukio Kirkko: The Rock Church
The Temppeliaukio Kirkko ( Rock Church ) is a thrilling work of modern architecture in Helsinki . Completed in 1952, it is built entirely underground and has a ceiling made of copper wire. It was designed by architect brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen and completed in 1969. They chose a rocky outcrop rising about 40 feet above street level, and blasted out the walls from the inside. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki and frequently full of visitors.



Cathedral of Brasilia : The Modern Church of architect Oscar Niemeyer
The Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora Aparecida in the capital of Brazil is an expression of the architect Oscar Niemeyer. This concrete-framed hyperboloid structure, seems with its glass roof to be reaching up, open, to heaven. On 31 May 1970 , the Cathedral’s structure was finished, and only the 70 m diameter of the circular area were visible. Niemeyer’s project of Cathedral of Brasilia is based in the hyperboloid of revolution which sections are asymmetric. The hyperboloid structure itself is a result of 16 identical assembled concrete columns. These columns, having hyperbolic section and weighing 90 t, represent two hands moving upwards to heaven. The Cathedral was dedicated on 31 May 1970 .



Borgund Church : Best Preserved Stave Church
The Borgund Stave Church in Lrdal is the best preserved of Norway ’s 28 extant stave churches. This wooden church, probably built in the end of the 12th century, has not changed structure or had a major reconstruction since the date it was built. The church is also featured as a Wonder for the Viking civilization in the video game Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings.



Las Lajas Cathedral : A Gothic Church Worthy of a Fairy Tale
The Las Lajas Cathedral is located in southern Colombia and built in 1916 inside the canyon of the Guaitara River . According to the legend, this was the place where an Indian woman named Mara Mueses de Quiones was carrying her deaf-mute daughter Rosa on her back near Las Lajas (”The Rocks”). Weary of the climb, the Mara sat down on a rock when Rosa spoke (for the first time) about an apparition in a cave. Later on, a mysterious painting of the Virgin Mary carrying a baby was discovered on the wall of the cave. Supposedly, studies of the painting showed no proof of paint or pigments on the rock - instead, when a core sample was taken, it was found that the colors were impregnated in the rock itself to a depth of several feet. Whether true or not, the legend spurred the building of this amazing church.



St. Joseph Church : Known for its Thirteen Gold Domed Roof
The St. Joseph The Betrothed is an Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in Chicago . Built in 1956, it is most known for its ultra-modern thirteen gold domed roof symbolizing the twelve apostles and Jesus Christ as the largest center dome. The interior of the church is completely adorned with byzantine style icons (frescoes). Unfortunately the iconographer was deported back to his homeland before he was able to write the names of all the saints as prescribed by iconographic traditions.



Chapel of St-Gildas : Built into the base of a bare rocky cliff
The Chapel of St-Gildas sits upon the bank of the Canal du Blavet in Brittany, France . Built like a stone barn into the base of a bare rocky cliff, this was once a holy place of the Druids. Gildas appears to have travelled widely throughout the Celtic world of Corwall, Wales , Ireland and Scotland . He arrived in Brittany in about AD 540 and is said to have preached Christianity to the people from a rough pulpit, now contained within the chapel.

Confession!

The Lord created me
I will not be afraid, for he has ransomed me.
He called me by name; I (Nicole) am yours, oh God.
When I go through deep waters,
God will be with me.
When I go through rivers of difficulty,
I will not drown.
When I walk through the fire of oppression,
I will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume me.

I am the Lord's servant.
I have been chosen to know God and believe in him,
and understand that you alone are God.
it is nothing compared to what God is going to do in me.
He is doing a new thing in me. Amen

Isaiah 43 (1-3,10,18-19)

Letter from my King!

My Princess,

I am your King and the ruler of all things. When the winds blow and the waves crash against the sides of your life boat, let Me steer you to safety. I'm not only the Captain of your ship, I can also control the storm. I know you like to feel you're in control by holding on to the wheel with all your strength, but I have you and your future under control. Who knows you better than I do? I don't want you to keep exhausting yourself trying to rebuild your life after another shipwreck. I am the One who takes what is broken and rebuilds it even better than before. So give your life back to Me. I will calm you in the storm, or I will clear the rough water; either way, you will be safe with Me!

Love,Your King who calms the storm

"THE DISCIPLES WOKE HIM UP, SHOUTING,"MASTER, MASTER WE’RE GOING TO DROWN!" SO JESUS REBUKED THE WIND AND THE RAGING WAVES. THE STORM STOPPED AND ALL WAS CALM!"
LUKE 8:24

I'm the Woman of Priority!

Father, you Saved me and you showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man's wife (one day they will all see what it really is)
Showed me that love was respect and devotion (yeah this can't be love)
Greater than planets and deeper than any ocean
See, my soul was weary, but now it's replenished (I'm good)
Content because that part of my life is finished (and I have no regrets, did everything I could)

I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man who's lost treasures untold


But my heart is guilty, I took back my soul
And totally let my Creator control(No matter what I trust God)
The (My) life which was (God's) his
The life which was his, to begin with(Thank you Lord, YOU will never leave me nor forsake me)

Insert from: I used to love him -Lauryn Hill

Romans 8: 28-30

28 And we know that God causes everything to work together[m] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.

Letter from my King!

My Princess,
You are a daughter of the King, and not just any king. You are My daughter, and I am delighted with you! You are the apple of My eye. You're daddy's girl. Your earthly father may love and adore you, but his love is not perfect, no matter how great - or small - it is. only My love is perfect... because I am Love. I formed your body. I fashioned your mind and soul. I know your personality, and I understand your needs and desires. I see your heartaches and disappointments, and I love you passionately and patiently. My child, I bought you with a price so that we may have an intimate relationship together for eternity. Soon we will see each other face-to-face- Father and daughter - and you will experience the wonderful place i have prepared for you in paradise. Until then, fix your eyes on heaven, and walk closely with Me. you will know that - although I am god - My arms are not too big to hold you, my beloved daughter.

Love,Your King and your Daddy in heaven

Okay...just one more of the World's Weirdest Hotels!

This is a concept for a “tree hotel” designed by the Swedish architectural firm Tham & Videgard Hansson. It is made of mirrors and thus totally invisible. It blends into its surroundings in a very cool way. It’s the ultimate tree house for luxury weary travellers who want to leaf the city life behind. Each room at the new hotel in Lapland is a box made of aluminium and covered in mirrored glass stuck 50ft up a tree. The mirrored walls are specially designed to make the walls disappear into the landscape by reflecting the woodland canopy surrounding them.Visitors have to climb into their room by a rope ladder.

5 of the World's Weirdest Hotels!

Crash in a jet plane: Near a beach that's within Manuel Antonio National Park, the Hotel Costa Verde doesn't lack for great sights. But few are as amazing as its own 727 Fuselage Suite, a salvaged 1965 Boeing 727-100 that looks as if it's crashed into the Costa Rican jungle (it's actually mounted atop a 50-foot pillar and reached via a spiral staircase). The jet's interior was once able to hold up to 125 passengers, but there are few reminders left of its days in the service of South African Airways and Colombia's Avianca Airlines. The suite's two bedrooms, dining area, and sitting room are now covered over entirely in teak to match the surroundings. Guests can play "spot the toucan" on the small wood deck that sits on top of the right wing. (011-506/27-77-05-84 or 866/854-7958, costaverde.com/727.html)


Your escape pod awaits: Colored bright-orange for easy visibility, the '70s-era escape pods that make up the Capsule Hotel once hung outside oil rigs, ready to be deployed in case of an evacuation. Recycled by self-proclaimed "garbage architect" Denis Oudendijk, the fleet of pods now rotates among different moorings in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe. At the moment, two are in the western Dutch town of Vlissingen and another is in The Hague. For a kind of James Bond-meets-Barbarella twist, opt to book your pod with a disco ball and all the spy's movies on DVD. It's a super-kitschy nod to a similar pod's appearance in "The Spy Who Loved Me." 011-31/641-76-55-60, capsulehotel.info.


A bad trip (with none of the consequences): The daughter of Ho Chi Minh's number two masterminded the Hang Nga Guest House and Art Gallery, a complex that more than earns its local nickname, the Crazy House. This LSD nightmare's three main buildings are Gaudi-esque concrete treehouse-like growths that appear as if they flowed organically out of the ground. Inside, the walls seem to dissolve into the floor, and right angles are avoided entirely. Each guest room is built around a different animal theme: the Eagle Room has a big-beaked bird standing atop a huge egg, while another has arm-sized ants crawling up the wall. The animal theme continues outside — a large giraffe statue on the property contains a teahouse, and human-size "spider webs" are set up here and there. (011-84/63-82-20-70)


Upside-down stay: At Berlin's Propeller Island City Lodge, each of the 30 rooms is weird in its own way. The artist-owner, Lars Stroschen, has seen to that. One room, the first built, is made to look like a brightly painted medieval town, with an ultra-mini golf course surrounding the castle bed. Another has furniture attached to the ceiling, another has coffins for beds, and still another has lion cages on stilts (the website claims that kids "love to sleep" in them). Then there's the Freedom Room, which resembles a prison, complete with a toilet next to the bed — oh, that German humor! (011-49/30-891-90-16, propeller-island.com)


A place to unwine'd: When they were owned by a Swiss château, the four enormous casks on the grounds of the Hotel De Vrouwe Van Stavoren in the Netherlands held the equivalent of 19,333 bottles of wine. Now, after some creative recycling, it's guests rather than booze that mellow out inside the casks. The richly worn and airtight oak barrels have two narrow beds, with a small sitting area outside. The grounds are quite close to tiny Stavoren's harbor, which was a major port in the Middle Ages. (011-31/51-46-81-202, hotel-vrouwevanstavoren.nl)

Why does she stay...

Why does she stay... hey...

She hates that I don't do dishes
Even though I mess up the most
And she begs me all the time to help her
I know that I should but I'm lazy so I don't
She's always considering my feelings
Thinkin of me before herself
Most of the time I'm so damn selfish
I don't even realize she treats me so well

She's so much better than me
I'm so unworthy of her

Why does she stay... why...

She hates that we don't spend much time
We barely see each other at all
She don't even nag me 'bout always working
She just says I just wish every now and then that you'd call
And I don't know why she's still here
She could have any man that she wants
I step outside of myself
To see how much she loves me
And all the things that I should do for her that I just don't... just don't...
And I realize

She's so much better than me (so much better)
I'm so unworthy of her (so unworthy of her)

Why does she stay with me... tell me why... why why why...

She's in love
And I don't understand
She's in love

Gotta be a better man for her
So I take my time and do what I'm suppose to do
Because I just can't see my life without you

Why does she stay

She's so much better than me
I'm so unworthy of her

Why does she stay

Letter from my King!

My Princess,

You never need to hold on to anyone out of fear of being alone, My
precious princess. I am with you wherever you are. I am the friend who
walks in when the world walks out. I created you to have strong
relationships, My love, and I see your desire to be close to someone. If
you will seek me first and come to Me with your wants and needs, I will
choose your friends for you. I also will bless those friendships
abundantly. Don't settle for less than My best just to fill your
schedule with people to see and places to go. I want to reach you with
the reality of My presence in you first, and then you will be ready for
real relationships that are orchestrated by Me.

Love,
Your King and your Best Friend

No FEAR here!

Psalm 46:1-2 (King James Version)
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Psalm 46:1-2 (New Living Translation)
(For the choir director: A song of the descendants of Korah, to be sung by soprano voices.[a])
1 God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
