Church in the Park

Yesterday we had church in the park celebrating the 9th anniversary of New Life Community Church. It was a beautiful service (they always are in the park). While sitting tight in my lawn chair, I eyed this litte one rummaging through her grandmother's purse. Grandma was quite aware as it kept the little one very entertained.

Holding Hands

As you know, I have committed myself to walk every morning, and when I do, I pray. Thus, prayer walks! I was telling my friend, Brenda, that I saw her parents yesterday morning on my prayer walk. They were holding hands, and she said that she wished she could have seen that. So, I told her I would take my camera with me this morning. I carried it on my entire walk and didn't see her parents, not once! I returned from my walk and as I opened the curtains and windows, there they were walking in front of our house! I grabbed my camera, ran out the door, and kind of ran down the street after them (I felt like the paparazzi!!), and was able to get a couple of shots. I hope that I will continue to be inspired to walk at their age...hand in hand with my husband! Too cute...great examples!!

Prayer Walks

One Week After 9/11 8th Anniversary

On my prayer walk this morning (#36) I was thinking, have we forgotten one week after the 8th anniversary of 9/11...my neighbors haven't! We need to always remember 9/11 and how it brought unity and goodness back into our country. I am proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free!

Photography Road Trip

My friend, Cherie, and I went on a photography road trip earlier this week. Photography road trips can be quite an adventure...like getting on the wrong road and ending up on one of the windiest roads in our area, not to mention it seemed to never end. Photography road trips are fun as we never know what we might find to photograph. This day was especially pretty with puffy clouds filling the sky.

Prayer Walk & Storm

Some of you may know already, that I have challenged myself to a daily prayer walk. Finished #32 consecutively. The photos below are from walk #29 this past Saturday. It was a beautiful sunrise and later in the morning we had a thunderstorm. I have added the YouTube video from that morning (reminds us the season is changing), with stills and video, if you'd like to check it out. Click on the title "Prayer Walk & Storm" and it will take you to the video.

Lake Alpine, CA

Cliff and I decided to head to the mountains on this Labor Day weekend just for fun. Well, it looked like everyone else had the very same idea. We changed our route plans when we were also in the grid-lock line seen here out our rear window. I never was big on patiences!

Aw, now this is more like it...in our camp chairs by the lake...beautiful sights, sounds, smells...lots of R&R and people watching! Just so thankful for God's creation!

This young man had the right idea!!

Prayer Walking and Hazards

I have been consecutively walking/praying for the past 19 days every morning. I was beginning to not feel myself...sluggish...tubby...a complete blobster. So, I decided to get back on my walking regiment. So far, so good.

Little did I know the hazards of walking...this little gem stuck clean through the ball of my tennis shoe right into my foot, but luckily I had an arch support that cushioned the stab, so no broken skin.
