Wake Up Sleeper! Last weekend I made a quick trip to Salt Lake City to ski with a friend from work. The schedule was to fly in, ski two days and fly back. A quick trip. I have never been to Salt Lake City. Along with that, I had not experienced the breathtaking beauty…

Are you getting swallowed up? Do you remember the game Pac-Man? This is going back a bunch of years, but it was one of the first video/arcade games where the Pac-Man travelled the course swallowing up all the cookies as he goes along. Never stopping.

Photo Friday: Walking in the Clouds
This is a picture I took about 8 years ago in Costa Rica while on a mission trip. I shot this picture while walking on a mountain above the central valley above San Jose on a magical and verdant ridge that connected two mountain tops. Have you ever walked in the clouds? Most folks will…

We are surrounded by beauty. The Creator’s hand is evident everywhere you look. What could possibly create this kind of beauty and diversity? If it was “survival of the fittest” we would have one aggressive flower, right? He’s given us amazing beauty everywhere we look in abundance. Are you looking? I am a noticer. I…

His eyes were tearing up while he shared his story. A story we have heard before. Trying hard to hold down two jobs. Twenty years in the prison system. Wife addicted to crack cocaine. He tries his best to keep her inside the house in order to keep her away from the neighborhood predators. Health…
