CRITICAL NEED FOR PRAYER!

 

 
At this very moment, there is a critical need for prayer for the safety of our troops in Afghanistan.  Whether or not you feel we should be there is not the issue.  God is waiting for us to cry out to Him for HIS intervention.  He knows what needs to happen and it needs to happen [...]

A Must Read

 
 
“Bruchko” – This is one of my all-time, lifetime favorite books.  The true story of what happens when a sold-out-to-God teenage boy – a nerd – heads into the South American jungles to find an elusive and murderous indigenous tribe.

Savoring Summer

 

 
 
It feels as if it’s been two years since we’ve had summer.  Last June ushered in devastating floods here in Iowa and the remainder of the summer was swallowed up in coping with crises.  Though Cedar Rapids is far from a full recovery, God has smiled on our area by granting lovely summer weather…perfect for growing corn. 
 
 
 
 
And perfect for those [...]

Six-day Riddle Solved

 
Though I flew home Monday, I’ve still been flying by the seat of my pants since we arrived.  I am not yet unpacked.  But, there are priorities, after all, so here’s the solution  to the Six-day Riddle (good guesses, by the way):
 
The photo was taken in Embera Drua, located on the Upper Chagres River in the Panama rainforest.  We reached [...]

Six-day Riddle

 

 
As I wrote in my last post, I’ll be traveling for the next several days.  So, I thought I’d leave you with a riddle to work on til I get back around the 2nd. 
 
I took this photo.  It’s untouched.  It’s the real deal.  Where is it?  What is it?

Timely Name Dropping

 
For a semi-Wordless Wednesday, I thought it would be fun to post this untouched photo for a little timely name dropping.  I found Dr. Oz to be a very kind, gracious man.   His wife, (not in photo) is adorable, and smart!
 
P.S.  No, I don’t watch Oprah.  I saw the headlines on the web about Dr. Oz’s new [...]

Perfect Conditions for An Air Show

 
          Couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions.  The “Wings Over Wayne” (county) Air Show was spectacular.  Sky was clear.  Temp was high 80s, sweat-soaked-clothing weather.  And the UVA/UVB rays served up a mess o’ southern vitamin D. 

          We did indeed slather on the SPF 30, over and over.  It worked great wherever we [...]

Wings Over Wayne

 
Writing from our hotel to say it’ll probably be a few days before I post again.  I’ve come to Goldsboro, North Carolina for the weekend to attend this:

Yes, I’m tagging along with the guys again. Very joyfully.  Been doing that for almost 29  years, and this event looks like a blast!  Besides, what mom doesn’t love being [...]

Oxygen for Your Soul

 
 
I’m just curious.  Has anyone NOT heard of Susan Boyle yet?  I understand it’s had around 16 million hits already, and I wish I could include a YouTube video of her here, but apparently those videos have had the embed disabled.  Still…

Tea-d Off!

 
Every parking spot was taken…so people walked toward the gathering…crossing a bridge over the Cedar River. 
 
People made their statements through a variety of methods. 
 
 
 
 
Having greatly under-estimated, the Tea Party organizers were stunned by the turnout.                                                                                                                                     
 
Americans in every age bracket peacefully made their point. 
 This was in the middle of the day when most people are not available [...]
