OK y’all… it’s already past 1:30 Saturday morning (Indiana time) and I’m gonna get through today’s post then get myself to bed!
If you were to ask me what this week was about… here’s what I’d tell you:
Monthly Archives: July 2017
Angles-sur-l’Anglin
Another monthly #TravelTuesday post for you… just some scribblings I did a while back that I decided to post. Frequent readers to the blog will recognize this place… we’ve been there a number of times… I just wanted to walk you through it. C’mon along! Continue reading
Planes, Trains & Automobiles: See you in Indianapolis
See that Airplane wing in the bottom half of today’s featured image? That should give you a clue as to at least part of what I’ll tell you about today… This has been a great week!
Be a Bridge!
This is the Henry the IV Bridge, in Châtellerault.
In the same way that a bridge “stands in the gap” between two shorelines, allowing pedestrian and car traffic to cross from one side to the other, so the Lord is looking for people to stand in the gap.
He wants to “cross the distance” between himself and an often hurting world or, more specifically, hurting individuals. While he could manifest himself to them in any number of ways, more often than not, he chooses to work through other human beings… like you and I.
Today, you can be a bridge to someone…
Possibly allowing God to cross over into their world, or helping them to cross over into his presence, here on Earth.

National Holiday & Praying for Leaders
Seems to me I said it two years ago, but I’ll say it again. The national holiday – even in a small town – is pretty special here. Fireworks set to music with a 400 year old bridge and her two towers as a backdrop and we got to be within only a couple hundred feet.
Let your Light Shine
This is of course the Arc de Triomphe, in Paris.
The monument is an impressive backdrop, but the thing that jumps to the eye is the lamp post, even though it occupies only a small space in the image.
Likewise, we may accomplish many things in life which could constitute a nice backdrop… but God’s goal is that something in us sets us apart, points people to Christ and makes them think… Thank you Lord!
May that be our case today…
May it be your case today.
God bless you as you let the light of Christ shine through you.

French Inukshuks and Living Stones
Inukshuks are stone piles, usually in the shape of a man, that mark a location and originated with Arctic cultures. Back home (though far from the Arctic), it’s not uncommon to see small make-shift inukshuks on the side of the highway, made by random passers-by who wish to leave a trace of their passage. The rock piles in this picture are on the eastern-most tip of l’île de Ré (Ré Island). They’re not in the shape of a man… but they were no doubt built with the same goal in mind: Beach goers stacked them as a way to mark their passage.
Let Summer Begin!
Happy Birthday Canada!
It’s not every day that one turns 150.
We’re proud to call you home. The next time we make it to a Tim Horton’s, we’ll lift high a double-double and drink to your health!
