The Falls at Night

Winged Jewels

My favorite example of God's glory and creativity at Niagara Falls (besides the magnificent falls themselves) is the Butterfly Conservatory.

Views from the Skylon Tower

Everyone has heard of the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls.

View of the town.

The American Falls.

The Horseshoe Falls.

The Fallsview Casino Resort--look how big!  Built with all those gambling losses . . .

Burger went up in the tower; I went to Starbucks.

Niagara Falls

What IS this thing?

This is a purple triangular contraption we've seen in trees.  It appears to be sticky, and is hollow with some little card-thingy hanging inside it.  Our theory--trapping mosquitoes and testing for West Nile virus, maybe?

If you know, please comment!  Thanks.

Worthington Bike Night

My husband and I are such bad bikers--amidst black jeans, black leather, and black biker boots, there's us:  brown work boots, athletic shoes (me), blue jeans, windbreakers.  Oh, and helmets.

Relay for Life

Ford City Relay for Life, 2008.

Luminaria in memory of my mom.

3 survivors from KHS Class of '73:

Me, Alex, Audrey.

I had 5 luminaria--how nice!

Balloon release.

Very inspiring.  I am in awe of the people who work so hard every year to raise more money per capita than any other relay--can you imagine?

THANK YOU.

I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to do

These quotes crack me up:

• If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
• If you're smoking in my vehicle, you'd better be on fire.
  
• Dyslexics Untie!
  
• The only things found in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead varmints.
  
• Illiterate?  Write for free brochure!

Don't Waste Your Life

One of my favorite authors is John Piper.  I have his book "Don't Waste Your Life," and have found it so full of truth--I find myself excitedly agreeing with thought after deep thought and observation after amazing observation in its pages.  You can see John's photo on Flickr here.  You can read his blog here.  My pastor (Mike Greiner of Harvest Community Church) has a must-see video of John on his blog here.

What a wonderful find to discover that John Piper has made "Don't Waste Your Life" available FREE!  You can read it online here.  Not only that, but there is also a free study guide to download on the same page.  Awesome.  Thank you, John Piper.  

God bless.
