Bigger Than It Appears I’ll never forget the first time I had the chance to go to the Northwest. We were on a plane and the pilot told us that we would be passing Mt. Rainier and to be watching out our windows for the spectacular view. There were other mountains below, and I kept …

Post Card #9 – The Bumpy Road
You know I’ve been thinking a lot about bumpy roads. We have a road near our home that has speed bumps in regular intervals for about a mile. Whenever I take that road I know I’m going to go over those bumps! When my children were little they used to beg me to go down …
Post Card #8 – Our Help Draweth Nigh
Greetings from Route 66! Octavious Winslow (1808-1878) offers us a great reminder today like a billboard advertising TRUTH! It is a sign worth reading word for word! Won’t you stop at a nearby rest area, grab a favorite drink and be encouraged by the wisdom of this pilgrim of our faith? Are you, beloved, walking …
The Heat Is On
We have a problem with our car’s air conditioning system…two of the vents will randomly turn to heat requiring me to close the vents. Nothing is less refreshing than having hot air blown in your face on a hot, humid day! Does this make me want to park the car and walk? No, but it …
Postcard #6 – Traveling Companions
I realized this morning that I have unknowingly picked up a hitchhiker who isn’t a welcomed traveling companion. His name is Anger, and he has been dwelling in my sinful heart – undetected – that is until now. Three, no four times this weekend my anger welled up towards my husband over stupid things. And …
Post Card #5 – Hungry?

His eyes were focused and drawn to the slightest movement on the ground. Then, it happened; he made his move! Diving, he accurately set aground on his prey of choice. …
Post Card #4 – Enough
Can you imagine someone going on a trip in a car whose gas tank only held enough for one day’s journey? Each morning before his trip began it would require yet another stop at the filling station. Imagine the consequences if the traveler decided he didn’t want to bother with this mundane routine? He wouldn’t …
Jesus Take The Wheel
I’ve heard it said that before you fall asleep while driving, you’ll get the feeling that your car is standing still and the road is speeding past you. This is a warning sign to stop and take a break, or risk the chance of falling asleep at the wheel. How often I’ve done this with …
Post Card #3
WORTH SEEING I’ve often thought about vacationers that come to Florida and all they see is International Drive. When they go home they talk about their time in Florida as if they’ve really experienced it. You and I know that I-Drive can’t compare to a pontoon boat ride down the St. John’s River, or a …
Post Card #2
Have you ever been on a trip and realized that you missed something along the way that you knew you needed to see? So what do you do? You make a U-Turn and go back. This is what I just did – you see, my trip has been full of many distractions these past few …
