Nebraska Happiness














As I looked about me I felt that the grass was the country, as the water is the sea. . . . T
hat is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. --Willa Cather, My Antonia
I took this picture on a road trip this summer with my sister Megan as we journeyed across beautiful Nebraska.

Love Your Life!

Love your life! You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. --Henry David Thoreau, Walden

This picture is from the Badlands on our road trip this summer!

The Joy of Reading














If I could get them to like poetry and beautiful things in words, it would not only do them good, but would help them to see what is in the Bible, and therefore to love it more. To find God in other books enables us to see clearly that He is more in the Bible than in any other book, or all other books put together. -- George MacDonald
