Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
The other day I noticed there were lots of butterflies fluttering around the butterfly bush. As I approached the bush, about two dozen butterflies flew away. However, it didn’t take long for them to return. Do you see the “heart” on this one. I can’t determine if it is the butterfly’s design or from the […]

I planned to take several photos at the Hershey Reunion on Sunday, but forgot about it until most of the people had gone home. It was supposed to be held in the pavilion in our wood lot, but due to the uncertain weather at noon, we set up tables in our garage, kitchen, and […]

We received a sad phone call from our friend Gerald, telling us that Joanne went home to be with the Lord this evening.Photo taken on June 2, 2013 when she and Gerald were at our house for supper. She fought a valiant fight against cancer. My heart is not breaking for her, because I know she is rejoicing with the Lord. […]
and continue to learn, and an understanding person will gain direction. Proverbs 1:5 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Saturday, July 20 to Friday, July 26 I needed to get re-acquainted with our house and yard after being away for nineteen days.

how to encourage each other to show love and to do good things. Hebrews 10:24 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Friday, July 19 We drove into a beautiful sunrise on Friday morning – the last day of our 19-day trip. It was good to be back in Pennsylvania and on roads that looked familiar. I liked this pretty field of corn shocks where we stopped for lunch. It was just about 5:00 p.m. when we […]
and understanding of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18 (The Message)
Thursday, July 18 Cerwin said, “Get a picture of this truck coming up on my left.” He noticed that there were a lot of axles – something we often look for in Michigan, because most states don’t allow that much weight – the reason for so many wheels. What a beautiful, well-kept rig. A windmill […]
in your hearts through faith. I pray that you may have your roots and foundation in love. Ephesians 3:17 (Good News Translation)
Thursday, July 18 The Rochelle, Illinois, area has acres of wind mills. Routes 39 and 80 are popular trucking routes. By this point the busy traffic was making me miss Route 2 in Montana and North Dakota. TFC has received a request to bring a chapel to this area in Gary, Indiana. The leadership team is working on the […]

Wednesday, July 17 We enjoyed a relaxing morning with Judi and K in Wisconsin before preparing to head toward Rochelle, Illinois, for the night. Judi has a nice, well-kept little garden. K wasn’t sure about sitting on my bottom bunk in the truck. But her mom soon had her smiling. This is Reuben and Judi’s […]
by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. 1 Timothy 4:12 (The Message)
Tuesday, July 16 There is a small walking bridge on the other side of the rock. I got this picture of K and Reuben without Reuben knowing I was taking it. Now they know I’m here. Another family picture. This huge rock just seems to “be there” in the middle of fields and homes. When […]
Tuesday, July 16 We left Bob and Doris’ house shortly after 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning – first traveling over the dirt road that goes by their house, then again picking up Route 2 to Duluth. We got a glimpse of Lake Superior in Duluth. Don’t miss the “load” on the truck in the foreground. […]
and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and give you the blessings God has for all his people. Acts 20:32 (Good News Translation)
Monday, July 15 It was a warm, humid morning in Minnesota, so Doris and I decided to go to the strawberry patch early. You can see that Doris (to the left of the greenhouse) got there a few minutes ahead of me – because I was taking pictures. Three hours later we had ten large buckets […]
Sunday morning, July 14 Japheth called to ask if I would do a photo shoot of their family before church. Of course I said I would, even though I prefer doing candid camera work, I figured neither of us had anything to lose. 🙂 I will not publish any of the posed shots – Japheth and […]
and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13 (New Living Translation)
Saturday, July 13 Photos by Cerwin – using his Nikon Coolpix Preparing to put the boat in Rainy River. They have 120 worms for bait. Cerwin caught a 30″ sturgeon – not large enough to keep. Bob’s sturgeon was 34″ long – also not long enough to keep. A sturgeon must be between 45 and 50 […]
Friday evening, July 12 Bob and Doris’ sons Japheth and Jonathan visit with Cerwin as Jeremiah and Japheth Jr. listen. Bob, Cerwin, and Japheth seem to be discussing something about the truck. So why is Japheth on the garage roof? Because Bob and Doris discovered a bat in the house recently, he was checking where […]
Friday evening, July 12 While Bob and Cerwin were getting things together to go Sturgeon fishing on Saturday, Doris and I prepared for their Friday evening family night – which was planned for our benefit – so we could see their son’s families, and they could visit with us. They also have two daughters – Juanita […]
Friday, July 12 We left Grand Forks, North Dakota, about 6:20 a.m. and continued east on Route 2, which would eventually take us almost by Cerwin’s youngest sister, Doris, and her husband, Bob’s house. We saw many large fields of grain and storage bins in western Minnesota. One consistent thing on this entire trip was pretty, roadside […]
