It’s Friday again, at the end of a very traumatic week (you can read about the sad passing of Rebekah’s sister, Rachel, at “Another epic story moves from this life into eternity”). Life, however – and as it does – goes one, so I thought I would share a handful of impressions for this week’s…

Again, as is my practice most every Friday, I want to add some beauty and positivity to the end of what has – once again – been a challenging and difficult week. I am leading with this image of our grandson, Mr. T., who seems to be enjoying Dresden’s cold, snowy Eastern European winter with…
I thank my God every time I mention you in my prayers. I’m thankful for all of you every time I pray, and it’s always a prayer full of joy. – Philippians 1:3-4 There is still a lot of extremely serious news to respond to and discuss. But for today I’m sticking with the popular…

Wednesday afternoon, walking next door to help my parents with something, I noticed how beautiful their Japanese Maple looked, with its delicate branches just about ready to begin shedding their feathery leaves. Most of Wake Forest’s trees are about done, but some are surprisingly brilliant in their last gasp. So I grabbed my good Nikon…
Part of me wants to join this growing social media trend of sharing images from Thanksgivings past – and that certainly sounds like a tempting exercise in nostalgia. But, instead, I’m going to be grateful for today, for this moment in the year 2020; and that is going to remain my theme for the rest…
I try, really. I understand that “Five photo Friday” is a thing, and it would be nice to limit today to just that, but I can’t. Seriously, you be the judge. Is there any image I could have left out? To be honest, given that this week featured the arrival of “grandchild number four,” I…
