It hard to believe that 84 days, 31,220 miles (by air, car, and boat), and nearly 4,000 pictures later, my sabbatical is nearly finished. Tomorrow is the last day before heading back to real-life on Tuesday. The realities of what I and my family have […]
John 14 – Signs Signs in South Africa were quite different from what we have here in the US. Yes, there were the usual signs of speed limits, stop signs, and so forth. But there were also some that were quite unique such as the […]
As I was leaving the beach that same morning I noticed this little glass bauble left on a stand on the life guard chair. I immediately knew that I needed to play with it a bit. I took a ton of pictures shooting through this […]
It’s been a few days since I last posted any pics but I have two that really capture some of my experience the last few days and both pics were taken the same morning – a few days ago when I came out to see […]
Luke 10 I am a Martha a lot of the time. I want to be active, doing things, checking off to-do lists, making sure that things are running right, and so forth. I can be a Mary at times and sit at Jesus’ feet and […]
Luke 9 What really captured me in this series of stories is toward the end of chapter 9. Prior to this, the disciples have seen one of the miracles of the bread/fish, heard Peter’s confession of who Jesus is, some have witnessed the transfiguration of […]

Luke 7 Ok, full disclosure. I wanted to find a way to talk about the U2 concert in Chicago so there might be a few theological leaps here, but hear me out. As the band finished their first set last night of the amazing concert, […]
Luke 6 In the weeks leading up to our trip to South Africa, we read about the horrific attacks that took place in Johannesburg and in Durban toward foreigners. They were referred to as xenophobic attacks as they were attributed to frustration and anger lashing […]
Luke 5 On one of our days driving between places in South Africa, we noticed a bunch of wildfires burning. At first, we were concerned – was the grass dry and sparked by lightning? We were concerned as we saw big brush fires burning right […]
Luke 4 I posted a similar picture to this one a few days ago, but this is moving a little bit to the left from where I was shooting the other day. Once again, this is the Blyde River Canyon in South Africa – an […]
Luke 3 I love accidental pictures. Sometimes they are immediately deleted, but sometimes you get something that is just unique. This is one of my accidental pictures form our trip. We were on the ferry from Robben Island and I was getting some shots of […]
