Make Love Your Way of Life
Today is our fifty-fourth wedding anniversary. I am so grateful for God’s pattern of gracious love.
Our Sunday in Nashville – Part 2
Sunday Lunch, August 27 We could have walked across the street – from Cowboy Church – to the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, but chose to drive so our cars would be there when we finished lunch. I remembered the beauty of the interior of this hotel complex from a visit many years ago and wanted to […]
Our Sunday in Nashville – Part 1
Sunday Morning, August 27 We were not familiar with any churches in Nashville, so decided to go to the Cowboy Church in Texas Troubadour Theatre, and were pleased to have Hezekiah and Kayla join us. There is a museum adjoining the theatre. Cerwin was fascinated with Ernest Tubb’s bus. The Cowboy Church uses the theatre […]

Our Saturday in Tennessee – Part 1
Saturday morning, August 26 We enjoyed morning coffee in Hezekiah’s basement apartment. Then we began an all-day road trip with several stops. First we went to a nearby motorcycle shop where Heze purchased saddlebags for his motorcycle. He gave the box to Cerwin so his arms were free to try out a motorcycle that was […]
Grand Ole Opry with Hezekiah
Friday Evening, August 25 The purpose of this trip was to visit our grandson Hezekiah who lives near Ashland City, Tennessee. After getting to our motel, we stopped in at his place to take him to the Opry – his 2017 birthday gift. We bought food at the Opry so we could eat while waiting […]
Continuing Our Trip
Friday, August 25 On the road again – headed toward Tennessee. It was a beautiful day to travel through Kentucky horse country – enjoying coffee “with an attitude” from the motel restaurant. Traveling across a river that was giving off morning fog. We had a delicious breakfast at an interesting, small truck stop restaurant that […]
Country Drive in Kentucky
Thursday Evening, August 24 Following our visit to the Ark Encounter, we went to the motel we had reserved on online – prior to our trip – and were a bit concerned when we saw a small building with individual outside entrances. However, the minute we opened our door we felt welcomed by the personal […]

Ark Encounter – Part 2
Thursday, August 24 One interesting thing about the first floor (near the entrance area) is hearing the sound of a storm on the outside. It was fascinating and interesting to observe the cages and sometimes hear the sounds of birds or animals. There were no live animals on the ark except at the petting zoo […]
Thirty-One Years Ago Today
It was thirty-one years ago today that we helped Mark, Diane, and baby Elizabeth move to Maine – according to the date on this photo – September 4, 1986. This was a step of faith for them after responding to the call of God to move to Maine and help with a new church plant […]
The Ark Encounter – Part 1
Thursday, August 24 Because I took a lot of photos of this experience, I chose to first tell you a bit about our arrival. Someone had a lot of forethought for this. The parking lot (room for thousands of cars – a website says 4,000) is where we arrived about 10:00 am. The ark can […]
Creation Museum – Part 2
Wednesday, August 23 The grounds outside Creation Museum are beautiful – especially on a sunny, warm, late summer day. The lighting on this flower was a bit shaded, but I like that the shot captured a bee. In this photo you can see part of the zipline challenge course. The petting zoo is in the […]
Creation Museum – Part 1

I smiled when I thought this cloud formation looked like an old lady in the wind. 🙂 A Pennsylvania tunnel We checked into […]
