wordless wednesday: little cabin

I miss this cute little cabin at Riverside Point Resort in Park Rapids.  We got away Saturday to spend the night between picking Nate up from camp Saturday morning and dropping Alex off Sunday afternoon.  We enjoyed paddleboat rides around Fishhook Lake and sitting in the swing just doing nothing but being together.  The resort allows pets so Mia was able to join us. Jamie even got an overnight pass to stay with us and make a trip to The Evil Walmart.  We went to church together at a new church near the camp:  Lakeside Christian Church.  What a treat to spend some time all together!  

[So much for "wordless!"]

wordless wednesday: galilee

Israel 2007

Sea of Galilee from Mount of Beatitudes

Phil & I didn't get to travel a lot together, but we were so blessed to visit Israel as hosts for a KFNW radio tour.  The week ended in Jerusalem, saving the sites of Jesus' passion for Friday & Saturday.  This is probably why I especially think of this tour during Holy Week.  

On Wednesday we visited the traditional site of the Sermon on the Mount.  I truly could have spent the entire day here, it was so peaceful, so beautiful.  Find Jesus' good words preached on a hillside like this in the gospel of Matthew, chapter 5.  

ps.  I thought about cropping that railing out of the photo, but I'm quite famous in our family for photographing railings of all kinds - especially bridge railings.  I just couldn't take it out!  

pss.  Sorry so many words in my Wordless Wednesday!
