Dat’s a Cow
The fresh air was filling my lungs. I took a deep breath to enjoy it. We stood on the porch surveying the fertile hues that seeped into the murky brown lake. My girls reminisced about this and that. Then it got quiet. Out of the blue my three year old boy matter-of-factly announced, “Dat’s a [...]
Kaluyo Resort Photos
Two years ago we took the youth of our church on a retreat outside of town for the days of Carnaval. This year we took a group of pastors to the same resort center about a 45 minute drive from the city for a relaxing conference. Both times our children were in tow. We like [...]

Desire Fulfilled
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
(Proverbs 13.12 New Living Translation)
Laying on the landscape framed by my kitchen window Mount Tunari waited. From afar I watched it change unchanging. Snow, clouds, fire, sun, green, brown, and shadow playing on the peak as I longed from afar. Promises many, [...]
Colorado Images
Of the hundreds of pictures we took last week I was able to narrow down the ones I am choosing to display to a mere 26. These will give you a feel of my most exhilarating experiences. There are four categories with a bit of a description before each one: St. Malo, Crosses, Mountains, [...]
Reaching for the Plug
The Rockies are calling me. This is the last day that I will only gaze on them. Tomorrow I will be in them. The air, the immensity, the trees, the dirt, all of it will be nothing less than exhilarating. Exhilarating… Exile… I will be completely unplugged: no phone and no internet. It will be [...]
What Awaits
Amidst all the list making in preparation for travel in a few days I thought it would be fun to make a ‘live’ list of what awaits me this coming week. I let myself start getting excited the other day. I felt it building. It’s one of my favorite sensations!
Without further ado and void of [...]
Mind Bytes* “Returning”
So, when we are in the States again I must remember to flush the toilet paper. Wipe and drop, wipe and drop. It’s not so hard. The absence of a trash can overflowing with wadded up toilet paper complete with brown smudges will be your first clue. Wipe and drop.
I wonder what else I can [...]
Colorado
We have been offered a wonderful opportunity. At the end of September a time for ministers at a retreat center near Estes Park, Colorado is being hosted by our home church. We have been invited to attend. It will be so good for just DaRonn and me to get away to be refreshed and built [...]
Wheels!
Yipee! I can hardly believe it! Yesterday my husband picked up the truck we just bought. She’s a beaut’, isn’t she? A ‘90 Patrol. It is a common make and model here so repairs are not going to be overly difficult to procure, should the need arise. Her previous owners kept her in great condition.
It [...]
On this journey of life, sharing my existence with God’s wonderful creation, there is nothing that thrills my heart more than knowing that my moments drip with purpose and destiny.
