Something just crossed my desk which I found interesting – and useful – about my favorite enemy, the mosquito.
Some of this will be review, some perhaps new information. Enjoy.
Did you know, that on Lewis & Clark’s exploration, the greatest enemy wasn’t the Indian whose territory they were invading, it wasn’t disease, it wasn’t the snake [...]

Pictures of pine trees taken June of 2008 on Jonell’s back property in Michigan
Look at the picture of the pine trees above and picture it as a group of people in your church. Pretend they are standing at the back of the sanctuary talking about anything from the travel their job will require this [...]

Hi all,
I’m doing several things these days, one of which is helping a travel agent near me open up a new portion of her agency.
There are many benefits to religious and educational travel, and to travel with friends to deepen friendships and team-spirit.
I’ve created a blog to help add perspective and some interesting articles to [...]

I’ve been thinking the last few days… is there a verse that encapsulates this whole year for me – for us?
Last year at this time I was reading like crazy, getting ready for tons of travel in a new position. In January they delivered the company truck and tool trailer and the next morning I [...]

Sometimes when I read the Christmas story I ask myself:
I wonder, if he had it to do again, knowing what he probably learned later, would the Innkeeper have found something for the couple who pulled in off the Bethlehem Highway and asked about a room? Even something a little unusual? Maybe he did, in letting [...]

The sound of a speaker outside caught my attention this morning and I looked up in time to see a WE-Energies truck go by. (WE-Energies is the public power company in SE Wisconsin).
Then another.
And another.
And another.
Then more.
I stopped writing to watch and count as a parade of —get this— twenty-five vehicles drove by;
pure white with [...]

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5.1
We’re celebrating our Freedom in America today, the anniversary of our independence as a country. I can’t help but think of the greater freedom available through Jesus Christ. [...]

… another post from my sister, Jonell …
This Sunday is Easter Sunday … or as I like to call it Resurrection Sunday! What hope we have because Jesus died on Calvary … and because He rose from the dead!!!! We can smile, we can sing, we can be assured of eternity in [...]

… from my sister, Jonell .
Sometimes God sends a beautiful snow storm about the same time He sends some of His creation across our path. These deer were across the road from our house over the Christmas holidays. I [...]

Do you ever review gifts you’ve received in previous years? It’s a wonderful exercise. I’ve recently used some tools received for Christmas, and remembered how they looked when they were new – and how useful they’ve been all along. I’ve also been thinking this week about the Gift —with a capital G— [...]
