Photo was taken at St.Michael’s Church, Creeslough, Co.Donegal (Irl)

The Church in the village of Creeslough called St Michael’s, is notable for its architecture, being modelled on the nearby table mountain of Muckish. The stained glass windows within the church are particularly striking. They are deeply embedded with the wall and their rich colour really pulls you in to their great beauty.

A story about anger…..

There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail into the fence. The first day the boy had driven many nails into the fence and then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered that it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those hard nails into the fence. Finally the day came when he didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about his achievement and then his father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well my son, but look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same again. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar, just like the holes here. Always take care of what you say and how you say it.”
