Imagine traveling around the world with your family, by car, for 11 years straight! (click image to read article)

So, would you do it if you could?

This week’s photo challenge at The Daily Post at WordPress.com was:

Be Still

April 7, 2011 — Leave a comment

This hymn was on repeat yesterday on my drive home…

I really like the PAGE CXVI version.

Be Still My Soul

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to your God to order and provide;
In every change, He will remain.

Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
To guide the future, as in ages past.
Your hope, your mind, your will let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s joys restored.

Be still my soul, and praise Him.

Sometimes, when I’m working on a spreadsheet, I feel like this…

Can I get an AMEN?

Mug-O-Truth?

I bought this mug a while back and started using it again recently – mainly because it holds the most water…

Sometimes I leave it in the kitchen to dry or carry it to meetings…bwahahahahaha!

Get you own here!

Yesterday, Page CXVI (Website | Twitter | Blog) began an epic Tweet stream titled “Worship Headlines”

Unless you are a worship leader, musician, or church tech person, you may not completely appreciate them.  If you fit into one of those groups, as you read them,  will either cringe, laugh, or slyly smile.

We hosted them at our church last summer and I had the opportunity spend a little time with them.  They are the real deal…buy their music (you can even download a few songs for free before buying all three of their Hymn albums) and, if you are in a position, host them at your church or group – you will be blessed!

Enjoy!

This ad caught my eye on my bank’s website the other day…

I wonder if they would approve of my design?

These are a few favorites that my wife and I shot on a recent trip – though I think she took most of them!

If you’re on Twitter, you’re probably like me – on a daily basis, I see some great tweets.

A while back, I started “favorite”-ing the ones that caught my eye – with the thought of doing a weekly post of the tweets that I found most funny, thought-provoking,  encouraging, etc.

I know I definitely miss a ton of good ones – I don’t monitor the “feed” well – but here is the first in that series…

The power of photographs is amazing.

They take us places – places we’ve been and wish we could go.

Invoke feelings – feelings we cherished enough to capture using this medium.

They help us recall experiences and people.

They spark memories that we’d consider highs and lows in life.

I know, those are pretty obvious statements – not revelations at all; but I was recently scrolling through the Camera Roll on my iPhone and traveled, felt, recalled, and remembered some recent highs & lows:

  • A ton of “set-up” shots for Facebook & Twitter statuses
  • A relaxing anniversary trip to Monterey
