My Lighthouse Collection
"Verily,
verily I say unto you, He that hearth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
John 5:24
JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Lighthouses assist a navigator in verifying positions and safe courses, marking channels and warning the navigator of any dangers or obstructions to certain routes. Usually, lighthouses can be identified by their light color and flashing lights at night and by the shape and color of their daymark during the light hours. Typically, the lights shine from sunset to sunrise--possibly a little longer due to extended twilight and/or poor visibility. Most lighthouses today have apparatus that is mechanically extinguished at first light. The equipment is serviced intermittently to guarantee a reliable operation.
I started my collection of lighthouses several years ago. At present, I have eight
lighthouses, in which seven of them are part of the Lefton Historic American
Lighthouse Collection. I have visited some lighthouses while on vacations
and have found them to be quite interesting. When Steve was in the Navy and
stationed in San Diego, California, we visited the Point Loma lighthouse a number
of times. Our daughter got us the Sandy Hook collectible lighthouse for Christmas
one year. Another one which I really like is the Old Cape Henry lighthouse. This
one is a limited edition one. It is located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, at Fort Story.
I use them all over the house as night lights to light my way through the house at
night. I will say, though, that I am running our of room to put new ones.CLICK ON THE LIGHTHOUSES BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION
