Ring the Bells of Heaven

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #085 Ring the bells of Heaven! There is joy today, For a soul, returning from the wild! See, the Father meets him out upon the way, Welcoming His weary, wandering child. Ring the bells of Heaven! There is joy today, For the wanderer now is reconciled; Yes, a soul is rescued from his sinful way, And is born anew a ransomed child. Ring the bells of Heaven! Spread the feast today! Angels, swell the glad triumphant strain! Tell the joyful tidings, bear it far away! For a precious soul is born again. Glory! Glory! How the angels…

Cherishing Life at Home

Project 365 – #077 Sometimes, when I’m away on vacation, I get caught up in the simplicity of being away from it all.  The responsibilities are less (even if you’re still cooking meals and cleaning), and we don’t have all of the outside activities.  It’s easy to idealize the situation. Walks on beaches ~ Playing Games ~ Relaxing Who wouldn’t want it all to remain the same?  A simplistic, easier lifestyle tends to call out to all of us – especially when “real” life holds many obligations. Vacation comes to an end.  We pack up our things and return home. …

The Great Shark Rescue

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #076 Last week, every day seemed to hold a new adventure.  Yes, we enjoyed walking the beaches and collecting various shells, but we also enjoyed being able to see rays, fish, and other sea creatures in the water.  A couple of mornings, we found sand dollars on the beach.  All of these things were fun, but our biggest adventure began with a simple walk on the beach…. Munchkin let out a squeal when she saw something on the beach.  She went running over and discovered that a shark had been beached when the tide went out.  At…

A Week at the Beach

Project 365 – #073 Our trailer backed up to the beach, so we could literally walk just a few feet and be on the beach.  This was our view.  The campground is also a marina, so we watched many sailboats come and go as we strolled the beach.  While this beach was nice, we did head over to the other side of the island, so we could enjoy the rolling ocean waves.  While that side is just across the road, you can’t really stroll on the beach at that point due to the Navy Seal training taking place.  We went…

Under the Arches

Project 365 – #071 My blog has been on auto-pilot all week long.  Today is the first day where I am actually posting live since last Friday.  Why?  Well, D had a work conference in San Diego this past week.  Munchkin and I decided that we would tag along with D.  We packed up the 5th-wheel trailer and headed over to the CA coast for a week of camping on the beach. The weather was beautiful even though it rained a little while we were there.  The evenings were on the cool side.  The breeze coming off the water made…
