A ghost town in a spectacular setting.

Zion was truly awesome!

Our last full day in Gallup, hiking in First Canyon, then the drive to Zion.

We went to two trading posts. Interesting people, scenery, and structures.

A crazy ride to a beautiful, amazing place, Chaco Canyon.

Started the day with some trailer problems but a wonderful day with our friends in God’s beautiful creation.

Our arrival and first day in Gallup.

Wonderful book! Quick read but long lasting words.

Another historical site, bad news about the AC, and Bingo. :)

We went to the center of the world and a historic prison and that’s it—all the sights of Yuma!

The first 2 days of our Retirement Road Trip.

A funny and also deep poem.

So beautiful!

Don’t worry about what you ought to do. Worry about loving. Don’t interrogate heaven repeatedly and uselessly saying, “What course of action should I pursue?” Concentrate on loving instead.

Great to see this appreciation of Barbara Pym!

The Christ in me sees the Christ in you.

I’ve only seen an owl in the wild once. They fascinate me. They’re magnificent and silent and eerie and other-worldly. This image and poem—oh.

“Oh world, I cannot hold Thee close enough!” Are you sometimes overwhelmed by the awesomeness of the world? Ever feel like saying, “Lord, I do fear | Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year”?

We often think God’s will for our lives is out there like a treasure chest, and we just need to find it, open it, have all the answers, and be on our way. But that’s not how discernment works…

Beautiful animated poem by Emily Dickinson, using digitized images of the herbarium she made as a young woman.
