    Moving is such fun! 😊 Earlier this year, with a combined age of 152, Ellen and I sensed the Lord nudging us to move on to a final ‘nesting grounds’. Consequently, for the past several months we’ve been road-tripping north to several states searching for that unknown to us destination. To add to our latest…

    “Beauty as we feel it is something indescribable; what it is or what it means can never be said.”  George Santayana Creation’s wonders ever astound and bless me. Today’s lily blooms displayed an ineffable definition of Pretty in Pink. “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil or spin, yet I…

    “In every walk nature one receives far more than he seeks.” – John Muir Such was my wander today as this trusting little feathered friend brought to mind some comforting passages: “For only a penny you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father’s consent. As for you,…

    Youth is adorable, but hasn’t shown up in my mirror for eons. I don’t feel as old as that dude staring back at me . . . perhaps I’ve just been young for a very long time . . . there’s a lot to be said for being delusional 😊 Today a baby snapping turtle…

    Just north of Roanoke today. I decided an impromptu detour would be a fun 4th of July activity. Exiting the Interstate traffic’s high-speed hum, we launched out on an unplanned road trip exploring the west-central mountains of Virginia. Before long, winding through Old Dominion’s vast rural stretches of forests amazed me . . . not…

    No words . . . just a glimpse of Glory that graced my eyes today. “Consider the lilies of the field . . . Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these“‘” Matthew 6:28-29 I M Blessed . . . May U B 2

    “See how the flowers of the field grow? They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all of his splendor was dressed like one of these.” – Matthew 6:28-29 Four-leaf clovers are rare, with only about one in 10,000 plants. They’re an ancient Irish symbol of luck, believed…

    Uncertainty is a certainty of life. I can’t help but wonder if King Solomon, who exceeded all the kings on earth in riches and wisdom, had this in mind when he penned Proverbs 16:9 . . . “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord established their steps.” I planned to be in…

    Climbed up on the mountain this afternoon, hoping to catch sight of Bubba or Beefus . . . No luck. Evidently, they have other ‘priorities’ this time of year that take precedence to entertaining old duffers like me 😊 However, I was treated to some spectacular Nature eye candy. Here’s a couple pics of vivid…
