New York and a plane Sunday, September 27, 2009 | 1

Hello from New York City! Alison and I are on vacation for the next week and a half and we are starting off in New York. Here is a shot taken tonight from our hotel room which I thought you guys would enjoy. I shouldn't be around here on the blog for another week, but look for me again starting October 4th or 5th. We'll see you then, and in the meantime, I hope you have an amazing week and that God does huge things in your life.

Here's a couple of great verses I read today:

God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. Therefore, as the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.”
-I Corinthians 1:30,31

a Fort Davis sunset Sunday, September 20, 2009 | 1

We are going to be camping here for Thanksgiving, and I can't wait to be back there. I have so many places I can't wait to be in the next 5 months that it almost doesn't seem real; Fort Davis, Dallas/Fort Worth, New York, Maine, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Rhode Island, Washington DC, Acadia National Park, Boston. And it looks like I'll even be on a mission trip to Vancouver for the Winter Olympics. While I can't wait for these trips, I may not get too many pictures of these places; I'll be in relaxation mode most of the time. Relaxation mode differs from lazy mode in only in the number of showers I take.

Since people liked the underexposed hummingbird picture from the September 10th post, I thought I'd go ahead and post this properly exposed one. I checked the exif info from these pictures and these were taken 8 minutes apart. And while there's no way you could know this, I am sitting in a lawn chair and this guy was way up in a tree directly above me. Of course the twisted mind God gave me is thinking that this event might have been 8 minutes of hummingbird poo raining down on me. Anyone want the clothes I was wearing that day? You can have them....
