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 […]
a godly life, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:11 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
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 […]
with all the strength which comes from his glorious power, so that you may be able to endure everything with patience. Colossians 1:11 (Good News Translation)
Wednesday, July 10 & Thursday, July 11 9:40 a.m. This was our last goodbye to Helen and Dan as they left to go home and we pulled away from the chapel in the TFC tractor. Cerwin preparing his log for the first part of our trip home. Some of Alberta’s flat land. We “breezed through” the […]
after 19 days on the road. It was a FABULOUS 19 days, but it is still good to be home. There will be many more updates as we travel home from Calgary – July 10-19.
with those who fear him, with those who wait with hope for his mercy. Psalm 147:11 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Tuesday, July 9, was one amazing day. There was beauty when we traveled and when we stopped. It was everywhere we looked. On every side of the road. In the morning we each mentioned some things that we wanted to see. For Cerwin and me, it was Lake Louise and treating Dan and Helen to lunch […]
Tuesday, July 9 This is another beautiful place to visit in the Canadian Rockies. If you look closely, you can see people on top of the rock pile in the foreground. My zoom lens will help you better see them. The log jam seems to have been here for a long time. This area has […]
and when I rest. You are familiar with all my ways. Psalm 139:3 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
I found some of the posted information around Lake Louise to be quite interesting. We saw a lot of these Clark’s Nutcrackers around Lake Louise. A large stream that was flowing out of Lake Louise. I’ll be back here on Thursday night, as we won’t have internet until then. My next set of pictures will […]
while you have the opportunity. If you do this, none of you will be deceived by sin and become stubborn. Hebrews 3:13 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Lake Louise – Part 1 This is a sight I had seen in photographs, but never in person. Helen and Dan The Chateau is a short walk from the familiar scenic area. With my back to the Chateau. Using my zoom lens to see the snow on the mountains. I took a walk through […]
The second part of our day trip was lunch at Stanley Thompson Club House. The last time we were here, it was fall, and the golf course was full of elk. We didn’t expect that to happen this time of year. The waitress said that only happens around New Year and September or October. It was fun to […]
surprise us with Your love, satisfy us with Your kindness. Then we will sing with joy and celebrate every day we are alive. Psalm 90:14 (The Voice)
Tuesday Morning, July 9 We had previously planned this day with Dan and Helen, and were anxious to see the Canadian Rockies up close. We had been to Banff in 2000 when we saw the Rockies from the western side. This was our first approach from the east. As we began our entrance into the […]
Closing program for the day – the Grandstand Show The evening program was not all according to my taste or likes, but it was certainly an elaborate celebration. These guys sang acapella bebop. There were lots of fireworks – and because we were in the upper level, the fireworks were straight across from us at times. We […]
