Taken last summer in hopes that we will eventually have a summer! I will be off the grid this week. Going on a spiritual retreat with my wife. Have a wonderful week!

I married Ruth, my high school sweetheart, in 1983 and we have four children and 6 grandchildren. I have been the worship pastor at Mission Bible Church since 2004. We are located in Minooka, a southwest suburb of Chicago. I love singing, bicycling, music, Mahler, boxing, coffee, movies, The Beatles, sunsets, coffee, Mahler, the seashore, sunsets at the seashore, coffee, and… the seashore. Originally from New York, I grew up 15 minutes from the beautiful beaches of southern Long Island. I have a Fujifilm X-T5 that I use to capture the world I see. I also enjoy writing about the images that surface in my mind and heart as I work with the images from my camera. Thanks for stopping by!
river sky
river sky is it too much to ask that you stay awhile
winter has been so dark and lonely and i miss seeing your clouds
as they dance along the river carrying the day away to a distant sea
river sky just stay awhile and if you must leave
then take me with you to the sea… please take me with you to the sea

This is what I find when I bike 25 miles west from home. It is a favorite destination. If you want to know more about it you can read the back story here.

I took my first ride to this location last week, but the weather has not been friendly since. I would love to get inside this building and take some pictures!
tower down! tower down!
How the mighty have fallen! This old water tower was a favorite landmark in our little town, but, alas, it was not up to the task of providing enough water for the growth in the past 7 to 10 years. Progress…sheesh!

Spring is in a titanic struggle with Winter…cold days, then a warm day, then back to cold. This was taken on a cool day on my way back from a long ride. You can do it Spring!
bridge 2
Here is another shot of a bridge that I like hiking to. I would like to climb the stair to the right of that tower. Let’s go!

and so i decided to run along the shore of my life
all the shells are still there
scattered shattered memories washed by the sea
wind and sand, salt and sun, time and rain
the ocean sings the waves dance
it has always been the way of grace
love is here
i am grateful
for all the love that is here
field museum ceiling
Something a little bit different for me as I tend to gravitate towards landscapes. This is what you see when you look up in the beautiful Field Museum in Chicago.
wire tower
Now if I could just figure out a way to climb to the top and take a picture from there.
