Just having some fun!

Here is a fun picture from a few years ago... life is grand as long as there is a dog involved ... and two or four just makes it better!

Mystery

This morning someone asked the meaning of a scripture passage. I answered "I don't know". {It was about Paul's teaching on the "coming ages" in Ephesians.} Everyone in the Bible Study breathed easy, with the thought that there is still mystery in God's purposes for the universe. On many issues we look "through a mirror darkly" ... we just don't have all the answers.  I was sitting in the car waiting for Ellie to return {on one of our many adventures} and the rain was coming down and sideways in sheets! I grabbed the camera and shot a storefront through the windshield. Even in mystery when the lines are blurred, there is beauty!

Throw Back Thursday!

Every Thursday on Facebook, people post old photos as a way to look back ... so here is my mother and grandson Peter giving her a little help. Not sure who is having the most fun!

SIGNS

Driving west through southern South Dakota, you cannot miss the "Wall Drug" advertisement signs! Every few miles a new one pops up to remind travelers to stop at this unusual drug store. I wonder what people see in us as they travel through their week? Do they see genuine reflections of our Creator and Redeemer in us? Would they stop and check out what Christ has to offer them?

O WHAT FUN!

In 2010 Ellie and I headed out west to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons. While staying at Jenny Lake Lodge, we spotted this bear strolling outside our cabins. Ellie is driving the chase car and I am hanging out the car window with my camera and saying, "Get closer!" Her response was, "Get back in the car!" Oh thank God for fun and adventure with a good friend!

GOD IS SENDING US

"We go nowhere by accident.

Wherever we go, God is sending us.

Wherever we are, God has put us there, for a purpose.

Christ who indwells us has something he wants to do

through us wherever we are."
