Why "St. Cuthbert's Island"?

Saint Cuthbert was a Celtic monk who lived in the 7th century.
He received visitors at his monastery in Northumbria and was even appointed a bishop, but he yearned for the life of an ascetic. While living at the monastery on the island of Lindisfarne, he sought to spend time with the Lord whenever possible. Early on, he practiced solitude on a small island that was linked to Lindisfarne by a land bridge when the tide was low. This tiny island, known as Saint Cuthbert’s Island, was a training ground of sorts—a place to grow in faith and in love for God.

I chose to name my blog after this island for two reasons:
1) I hope that it will be a place where I can spend time alone with God, growing in my love for Him.
2) Perhaps, when the tide is low, others may find their way to this tiny island
and, by God’s grace, be blessed by what they find there.

Another Recommendation

Over the last few months, I've been enjoying a plugin (for Windows Media Player) that displays the lyrics of the song that you're listening to. If you listen to music on your computer, it's a great tool. Imagine--understanding what you're listening to...what a concept! It sure beats those cheesy dancing lights that are the default WMP background.

If you're interested, you can download it from http://www.lyricsplugin.com/.
