The day began with a beautiful sunrise, courtesy of the Illinois River.
Then my wife and I worked on a small wallpaper project in our main floor bathroom. No one was hospitalized, the bathroom looks great, and we are still married. The true test of a couple’s emotional health is their ability to finish a wallpaper project!
Finally, hopped on the Kawasaki and took a ride to the wind farms on this beautiful day.
Hope you have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by.
It was a beautiful start to the day in wind farm country, otherwise known as, Ransom, Illinois.
A peaceful start to the day over the Illinois River.
new day shines and sings colors bring a smile or two we journey on some journey through this beauty brings to mind there is so much more to find than momentary distractions they leave me fractured i want i need i thirst but all this greed whatever it is i choose to feed seems to get a hold of me i want to let go i want to be free in His truth i will be the true me and shine and fly with colors bright and soar and seek and risk this self and choose to love to sing to breathe and start remembering i was meant to fly i was meant to see and one day be in eternity
a misty morning a cup of joe a reader's digest prayer i gotta go still doing ...something still going ...somewhere all this thinking has got me ...swirling ...sinking ...unfurled before unexamined winds wait
i tell myself to take it slow to ponder to wonder do i know who i am am i present in this moment i'll choose being let the doing go and remember to stay in in the midst of a misty morning and just
listen to the music of the stillness i'll sing along a wordless song entering this eternal moment letting go of shadows as the light rises in my soul
who knows where this moment will lead if i listen and trust if i surrender all that i think i must do and live in the light and stay right here then maybe i'll be free from the shadows of doing and going i want to meet my true self and just be me
so jeremiah joe
have you got a sec
you know
i was wondering today
what you would have to say
about all that’s going on
you see it seems
it's all gone wrong
so on this cloudy morning
i’m tired deep inside
of all the crying and the mourning
does someone hear the lonely prayers
who will hold all the cares
of this dangerous time
this great big world
don’t laugh
i know
that you’re just
a cup of joe
a lament
or two
is time well spent
it’s true
that it’s just a little prayer
to the God who's really there
faith and hope and love
came down from above
He knows all my whys
and all the sighs
that fall from my soul
even when my tears are dry
i remember He’s alive
so i’ll take another sip
whisper words to Him
and rest
thank for listening
see ya later
jeremiah joe
it's a 4272023 morning the kind of morning that will never be here again the fire leaves are awakening big blue skies are smiling the proud trees are welcoming a 4272023 morning the silent digital sentinel on our wrist counts the seconds that will make up the moments of this gift we call a day the unrepeatable you this world of image bearers in all our collective journeys we share the sorrow the waiting the singing the building the crying the disorientation the confusion the celebration the shame the brokenness the wonder the exhaustion the despair the longing for meaning the searching for love it's who we are glorious and ruinous on this 4272023 morning let’s remember together our Creator is here for you and me for all the world the Light has overcome the darkness so we can open our hearts and become fire leaves illuminated dazzling sparkling welcoming the Light the everlasting Love awakened by eternal songs of redemption so this 4272023 morning will soon be gone what will we leave behind words of comfort love and laughter shared tears forgiving eyes grateful for a 4272023 morning and grateful for you
