Exploration and a Hike

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

We decided that it would be fun to take Grandma and Grandpa over to an area that we briefly explored before – the water in the desert area.  This time, we wanted to hike up to a mine area that we saw from our parking space near the water.  We had hiked a short way up the road, but this was a chance to really explore and hike up to the top of the hill. Yesterday, I posted a couple of pictures from the top of the hill.  When we started the hike, the top didn’t look that it was…

Project 365 – #021 I put this vinyl decal on the wall next to my bed. It’s one of the first things that I see in the morning and the last thing that I see at night.  It helps me to remember that God is completely in control, and that anything is possible with the Lord’s help.  I need to put my trust in Him as I try to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks during the week. But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. ~Matthew 19:26 We’re in…
