Quiet Time

A beautiful morn.

Somewhere over Illinois.

Counting my blessings.

Sight, Sound, Smell

A lone bat flits by.
The wood crackles randomly.
And smoke wafts around.

Lunch for One

The adirondack.
An invite to sup outdoors.
Appointment confirmed.

Luke 18:18 Thoughts

Perhaps it is wealth.

Or maybe it's our comfort.

What should we let go?

Inspiration from Cal Jernigan at Central Christian Church in Gilbert, AZ on 9.8.13

Cityscape

An urban landscape.

An esplanade with flowers.

Inviting to rest.

Utah Sunset

Rocks from gold to red.

While shadows provide contrast.

Sunset in Utah.

Arches National Park

The storm clouds gather.

And Balanced Rock dominates.

In The Utah sky.

Summertime Blues

I've been on a tear.
Consumed by getting things done.
I need to slow down

Waterfall

Elegance. Power.
The water ambles downward.
Pause. Gaze. Breathe. Listen.

Desert Solitaire.
Perhaps my favorite read.
Southeast Utah calls!

I have been remiss.
Not pausing to capture thoughts.
I need to focus.

Waiting. Just waiting.
Will they ever call my name?
The doctor's office.

Baseball

On ESPN2 tonight.
Yes! Spring has arrived.

Easter Thoughts

Thinking on Mary....
Her thoughts on an empty tomb.
Is my son alive???

Good Friday Thoughts

Tortured and pummeled.
Hung on a tree for our sins.
Yet love did prevail.

Patience is a Virtue

Behind a slowpoke.
On a two lane rural road.
I need patience now!!!

Date Night

Date night number one.
Muncie: Menards and Meijer!!!
We were not alone...

Isaiah 55:11

What is the challenge?
Gleaning Gospel truth always.
I need to listen!

The cold, the grey, and the snow.

Reducing some work clutter.
A good afternoon.

Meeting prep and class prep time.
At least it's Friday.

Mesmerized

I feel like a kid.
Staring out the jet window.
Enthralled by the view.

Cattle Car in the Air

Claustrophobia.
I'm wedged in the middle seat.
Time to take a stroll.

Picacho Peak

Natural cycles.
Moonrise over Picacho Peak.
Eons and eons....

Twas 60 on Tuesday

Wait a few minutes.
It's Indiana, you know.
The weather will change.

Sensory Overload

This ain't no party ...
I wonder what mountain range ...
This ain't no disco ...

Somewhere over New Mexico

Snow covers the peaks.
With the fading sunlight.
The western vastness.
