Know ye that the Lord he is God...enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:3-4

I Peter 3:12



I'll let this picture just speak for itself. I can't say I will be posting a verse every Sunday but will try to. Let's see how far I can get.

Ready for Spring?

Flowers seem to always be a sign of spring and I just wanted you all to see some of what I have right now, and it wasn't taken lately.

These are the flowers in the picture below:
#1 A Plum blossom
#2 A Pansy
#3 A Columbine
#4 A Dandelion
#5 A Peacock Orchid


I hope to keep this blog update quite often and the sooner the real green of spring arrives the more I will have to post on. Fun!! Winter is a slower time of year around here and the dense fog lately can kind of make you feel like you're living on an island, but I hope to have some pictures of it up soon.

Summer Spray Plane

Yeah, I know this couldn't have been anytime recently :-) I took these a while back and decided the post them. I have always loved watching them zoom so low across the fields, they sure can go fast and they better be very accurate about it, too.
He sure seemed to be going way too close to the powerlines, but
maybe it was from my point of view. And he didn't go between
the lines as it looks in the above middle photo but was pretty close.


This last picture was taken a different day and is one of my more favorite pictures of airplanes that I've taken. He was turning around right over the farm as I got it.

The Old Rugged Cross

This photo was taken near Zeeland, ND some years back. I couldn't help but post,
it reminded me of the old hymn 'The Old Rugged Cross'.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suff'ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange in some day for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where his glory forever I'll share.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange in some day for a crown.
