Husband, father, caregiver! Happy, sad, healthy, sick, rich, poor, no matter what, I choose to love God and serve Him.
I'm hanging out at Starbucks after a visit with my neurologist. He confirmed I do still have a brain. He said most of it is still working. That's good news, I think.

The trumpeting call of a Sandhill Crane hanging in the air. I heard a Sandhill Crane pair calling down the trail and wondered if I could see their call in the current conditions.I quickly tootled over to the Cranes, working to get an angle of where their call could be seen

Evening Prayer - Christmas Eve: Loving God, on this Christmas Eve, may our hearts make room for Your coming and Your being born. May we recognize how different our world could be if Your governance and reign were allowed to prevail. On this night, may we ponder and pray. Amen.

Morning Prayer: Loving God, lead us into those places where deeper reflection and awareness can take place. Slow us down inwardly so we can pay attention to where You are present in our life and active in our world. Be our Light and hope in the darkness that surrounds us. Amen.

Thus, if a storm tried to cross, before it got there, it would fall apart. It’s due to something called the Coriolis Force (caused by Earth’s rotation and its changing circumference at latitude) which increases north and south, but is zero at zero degrees. Image via NOAA.

On this LAST DAY OF HURRICANE SEASON, an interesting fact.
Did you know no tropical cyclone has ever crossed the Equator!? That’s because it’s physically impossible. Storms need “spin” to develop and survive. But at the Equator there is zero spin… 1/

Good morning Jesus. Almost ready for church. No wait a minute. We are church. It’s not where and when we gather. It’s identity. Thank You for Ekklesia. I am called out for Your purpose. Not mine or anyone else’s. I’m ready to shine Your love anytime, anywhere. Welcome to church!✌🏼

Good morning Jesus. Psalm 118 says with Yahweh on my side, what can people do to me? You also said don’t fear people. When I, by faith, know I am whole and complete in You, what can anyone do to me? I am who You say I am, not what “they” say, think or do! Hello new creature.✌🏼
