Deeper Conversations, Deeper Friendships

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

A side benefit of prayer requests:

Instead of the typical conversation of “How are you?” and getting a canned answer. We can ask “How is [insert prior prayer request topic here]?” and get a real response that is more than surface deep.

SNOW!

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

So I posted too soon about the ice because we got SNOW! It is wonderful, lovely and making my day. Pablo and I walked the back 40 for almost an hour enjoying the winter weather.

As I made my way down the field, taking in the sights, it surprised me how often a branch gave way to the weight of the ice and snow with a crack, then a crash, sounding like someone throwing china on the floor but making sure to hit the edge of the chair first.

Isn’t it just so pretty?

Shows how things can change in a few hours. Be safe Lexingtonians and enjoy the day!

Icy Wonderland

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Snow is a rarity here in KY, and this most recent storm, “the storm of the decade,” holds true to form. We got ice so far, which seems to be the norm around here. Enjoy some of the sights from our yard and back 40.

Bike Trek Summary – Belated

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

The bike trek was a success. Two days, 66 miles, lots of rolling and more than rolling hills at times, plenty of sun and wind filled my weekend. It was a challenging and fun experience I already plan to repeat next year. Next time I will step it up a notch and bike the longer distance.

For those that supported me – thank you!
