We are back from our conference in Florida. While in Florida we had the opportunity to see family that we don’t often get to see, since someone long ago decided to place Florida and Illinois so far apart from each other! This is my niece, Cami, enjoying the ocean. We spent an afternoon on the beach with her and other treasured family members. Taken at Ormond by the Sea.

This was seen in Logan’s Square, Chicago. This will be my last post for the next week or so. I am out of town with my bride to a worship conference. Have a great week everyone!!

The towboat actually pushes the river barge. Shouldn’t they call it a push boat?

Another shot of the “wedding barn.”

The first to two images of the barn where my daughter had her wedding earlier in August. It was a lot of work to decorate this space, but also lots of fun! The bride was beautiful, the father cried, and a good time was had by all.

Usually I am at this location early in the morning with sea gulls, or geese. On this visit the river had many visitors and activity.

Jerusalem

Jerusalem

From a trip to the Holy Land a few years ago. The Church of All Nations can be seen in the center left of the image. Also known as the Church or Basilica of the Agony, it is a Roman Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives next to the Garden of Gethsemane.

Another shot taken just behind where we live. This is pretty much our landscape: cornfields, and soy bean fields…. but it sure can be beautiful…
