After 21 years off, doing other things, I’m now back to driving a school bus. Not much has changed, I still don’t like getting up early. But, I’m learning to appreciate the sunrise and quiet time with the Creator.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor…

Well, I haven’t got to the snow part yet, but it IS coming. This is Manitoba after all. I don’t know if I’ll make it but I know the One who goes with me.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.

Isaiah 42:2a

This summer, I have a daily walk scheduled to take in the colorful sky filled canvas.

Sometimes the sky is clear without a cloud to be seen. Other times there are so many clouds I am surprised by a last minute peak that the sun makes at the horizon before it disappears for the night.

One thing you can count on, the sun sets right on time every evening, never looking the same twice.

This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Got the winter blues or just having a hard time getting around today? Maybe you just need to smile. I understand smiling is good for our health, helping to reduce blood pressure, pain, and increase your endurance. So what have you got to smile about today?

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!

Philippians 4:4

There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every matter under heaven—He has made everything appropriate in its time.

Ecclesiastes 3:1,11

An eager group of people showed up at this historic one room school house on Star Mound at dusk. After having our fill of hotdogs, cupcakes, and coffee the Canadian national anthem was sang followed by a fantastic light show! Happy Canada Day!

While visiting Arizona in early April I was delighted to enjoy the green, spring-like desert. I know from experience that the Arizona desert is not normally this green, making the view a real treat.

The last time I visited the Grand Canyon was June 2000. The temperatures were then reaching into the high 80s at the top and scorching well over 100°F at the bottom. This time around it was very different, as the top was covered in a layer of snow and only got into the 60s.

The view was just as spectacular as I remember it being over 20 years ago. To think that God likely formed all of it in just a few hours as the waters receded following the great world-wide flood of Noah’s day is amazing.

Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much. Who determined its dimensions and stretched out the surveying line?

Job 38:4-5

We took a family road trip for spring break 2023. First stop, Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. What a stunning view!
