I love a trip to the mountains but like I say, "there's just something special to me with muddy water and Cypress trees". This is home for me. … Continue reading In The SEARK – Guest Post: Keith Wallis

Night Sky Photos For Papaw
I can't tell you how much a comment or text means to me from this stuff here. My dad texted me the other day to tell me he was looking at my recent post on Perseid Meteors with my grandpa. I can't describe how that made me feel so today I'm sharing some of my … Continue reading Night Sky Photos For Papaw

Cut-Off Creek
The other day I wrote about a trip to Warren Prairie with my daughter.

He Saved Us
This morning my daily bible reading was in Titus. Titus 3:3-7 hit me hard today and I thought sharing it might encourage you as well. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when … Continue reading He Saved Us
