We spent the night in Jackson, WY, and we love this mountain town. Very quaint. Very mountain culture-y. Lots of colorful, free spirits around here. Being among the mountains these last few days make my Colorado blood want to buy a piece of land on the side of a gorgeous hill and build a home….

Jackson Hole
Today we drove from Twin Falls, Idaho, to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. And what a drive. Majestic. Awesome. Breathtaking. Stunning. I am posting only a few of my best photos of the day. Today we saw hawk, horned sheep, elk, antelope, and chipmunks!
Mountains and More…
We are continuing our road trip. We spent the last eight days in Redding, California at a marriage seminar. It was impacting and refreshing. Today we packed up the car and drove to Reno through the Sierra Nevada Mountain range.
Desert Dreams
If you know me, then you are aware that I LOVE the desert. Its beauty is singular and magnetic from the heat, sand, lizards, muted colors, and prickles. I am captivated by the creativity and unusual life I find here. I can’t get enough. My husband and I are on a road trip making a…

Over the Cattle Guard…
Recently, I spent a few days on a working horse ranch in the roughed hill country of Texas. As my husband and I begin a three-month sabbatical — our first in 15 years — we decided to begin by each taking a week to separate and draw near to God. Just six days. And I…
Hope and the Almond Blossom
Yesterday as my husband and I drove through Jerusalem to a ministry planning meeting, we enjoyed the budding and blossoming almond trees dotted along the highways and scattered throughout the city. Every year I thrill when they come into color. These dainty flowers boost my faith. They represent a living sign planted within the earth…
Crushing…
Lavender grows wild in the Mid East… it dots the terrain in Cyprus where we are now. The place we are renting in Pafos has many lavender bushes. Sometimes when I open the windows in the morning the fragrance floats on the breezes… Lavender is also known as nard in the Bible. It is one…
