    Glaciers cover about 10% of the Earth’s total land area. They store 75% of our world’s fresh water and exist on every continent except Australia.  Alaska is estimated to have more than 100,000 glaciers, the vast majority of which remain nameless. I was blessed to enjoy an overnight voyage with my friend John aboard his…

    It has been two weeks since touching back down in the Greatland. Getting our home’s water running; the car’s brakes repaired; e-mail, phone and internet re-connected; and reclaiming the lawn and flower beds from the wilderness were just some of the tasks that made things ‘challenging’ 😊. However, jet-lag recovery proved especially ‘interesting’ this time…

    Cloudy days have outnumbered sunny ones lately in the Last Frontier, but canoeing on our lake and wandering along wild rivers today graced my heart with Sonshine. I M Blessed  . . . May U B 2 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have…

    What’s your drive into town like? Mine is like driving through a postcard.I M truly Blessed . . . May U B 2 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the  Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 Keep Looking Up…

    Winglets are aerodynamically curved structures at the end of aircraft wings which improve aircraft performance by reducing drag vortices formed in flight at the end of wing tips. I realize you probably already knew that, but did you know they cut fuel consumption by 6% and dampen noise. So why aren’t all airline tickets discounted…

    The splendor of a lily bursting into bloom today immersed me in wonder and gratitude. Wonder of my Creator’s immeasurable greatness . . . Gratitude that the One who decks the fields with flowers (Luke 12:27); numbers and names the stars (Psalm 147:4); knit this infinitesimally small, wayward prodigal together in my mother’s womb (Psalm…

    The game cam recently captured this large local bobcat strolling along the path by our stream-side ‘Quiet Bench’. A persistent rumor exists that mountain lions still roam the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Mischievously curious (one of my ‘Needs Improvement’ character traits), I envisioned an opportunity for prime rumor enhancement. Stretching the truth just a…
