river sky and colors

Taken at the end of a beautiful day along the banks of the Illinois River.

beginning

I started my bicycle ride later than I wanted to, but, it turned out okay. I was able to see the beginning of a beautiful day. We’ll get back to New York soon. (Click on the image for a larger view.)

fall is great

This was taken during our annual staff advance at Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin. We had a great two days of training, planning, and dreaming. I work with a fantastic team of friends who are also my colleagues. Late October in Wisconsin can be cold, rainy, and harsh, but this day was an absolute gift!

until we “meet” again

The sun doing some painting over the Illinois River in Morris, IL. This may be my last post for a week or so. I will be in Haiti this week on a missions trip and will enjoy sunrises there! We will be ministering to widows and orphans with a team of talented high school students and adults. Until we “meet” again, have a wonderful week!

The second image from my meanderings along the banks of the Illinois River. This is a favorite spot…if you have been hanging around my blog for a while you will probably recognize it. Have a great week!

waiting for winter

I&M

We are having an unusually warm December… the I & M Canal seems to be quietly waiting for winter to arrive…. I would rather see the warmer trend continue.
