what i saw at starved rock

My day job is as a worship pastor. I have the privilege of working alongside a fantastic team of leaders and friends. Our team culture includes celebrating each other’s birthday. Each year we head out to Starved Rock State Park (a real gem of a place in the midst of the Midwestern plains) when my birthday celebration comes around. These images are some of what I saw today. Thanks for stopping by.

Just a couple of posts ago I was enjoying a beautiful sunrise… today the river is swollen after LOTS of rain last night.

What may appear to be an unfinished project, is actually a gigantic high ropes and challenge course recently completed and opened at Jones Beach called, Wild Play. It certainly changes the look of the park, but, I can’t wait to give it a try!
