Childhood summers frequently found me chasing orange Monarchs, yellow Swallowtails, and a variety of other brightly colored butterflies through fields with my net … and … smearing calamine lotion on painful bee stings and spider bites.   Not sure why God made mosquitoes and bald-faced hornets, but I’m…

    In a time of horrific disasters, rampant chaos, and national division, I thought perhaps this happy family outing video clip might provide a brief respite, and perhaps bring a smile to some faces as it did mine . . .  the feral version of Proverbs 22:6 . . . “…train up a child …” 😊 Keep…

    As a child each summer was spent with my mother, siblings and grandparents at their cabin in Promised Land, PA . . . and indeed it was . . . my childhood sanctuary.  From sunup to sundown I delighted roaming its forests and streams . . . and a virtual little John Muir was born…
