The Island of Corsica


Corsica

Many years ago God provides us the privilege of living on the Island of La Maddalena which sits south of Corsica and north of Sardinia. Island life was wonderful. From our house we had a view of the Mediterranean sea. God and I had many conversations looking out over those waters and islands. On the way to work the mountains of Corsica would be visibly frosted with snow. God has blessed me by letting me see many of His works of art and Corsica is one of them. We only spent one day in Bonifacio, but it will always be a sweet memory.

Corsica is divided into two departments 2a Corse du Sud and 2b Haute Corse. After leaving department 31 filled with over a million people, Corsica will fill very empty because it has less then 300,000 living on the whole island. Corsica is a wonderful mixture of the people who have come to conquer these mountains in the sea. Even though French is the official language you are able to still here the people's tongue which sounds more like their neighbors from the south. The food comes from what is local and the visitors come for the sun and water. Overall I would love to visit the island many more times.


Norte Père,

I thank you for your creative blessing in the beauty of the islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Thank you for the people who live on these islands. I pray that they will hear your good news and believe on your name. Send your message to these places so that the people can hear your gospel and believe in you. Strengthen the believers who live here and I pray that they will remain faithful to you each and every day.
I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen
