If Eternity Is Forever, Am I There Now?
John was in danger of loosing his life and his belongings. The floodwaters had already filled his basement, and three feet of the main floor. John was standing on his porch when a rescue boat came by. “Get in sir.” “No thanks, God will save me.” The rescuers motored off to pick up other residents.… Continue reading One with the road
We sold our home 24 weeks ago, and have been living in a 238 square foot travel trailer for 24 weeks. That’s the way it went down. We drove our truck and trailer to the realtor’s office October 5th for the closing, and drove off with a check. One week earlier we had retired from the workplace. The… Continue reading Teeners and Shufflers
1 Thank you heavenly father for all the blessings I have received, both seen and unseen. The goodness you provide is a result of my faith. 2 The confident assurance that what I hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of what I cannot see. 3 You will find me wherever I… Continue reading Psalm 151 (DKB version)
It’s kind of weird/normal having a personal relationship with Jesus. I suppose by some it could be viewed as having an imaginary friend. I use to see it that way. Oh but what a wonderful friend, and tour guide we have. In Sarasota, FL we met up with Ellis and Marcia, several dear friends from… Continue reading Shuffleboard, anyone?
Our third trip on Silver Spring Run offered up rhesus macaque monkeys, how cool is that? We launched from Ray Wayside Landing about 5 miles south of the springs vents. This is also a popular landing for kayak and canoe tours that drop you in the water upstream, and then you drift to a pick up… Continue reading Monkey Business
I’m getting lazy. Retirement just kicked in. All we do is ride bike, walk the beach, hike, dine out, kayak, hike some more, and swim with the manatee. I should have all sorts of time to post little Living in Eternity stories, but I have not done so. Yes, I’m most definitely getting lazy. Silver Springs We… Continue reading I Have Forever

The Salt Springs Run flows for five miles into… Continue reading “Dayo, , , , dayo – Hey mister tally man . . .”
Most of our camping happens in places that do not offer up paved bike trails. So when we find one we are all over it. Lake Beresford Bike Trail is a short 5 mile paved bike trail. It also has a super bonus entry point into Blue Springs State Park. Blue Springs is known for Manatee… Continue reading Clearwater Lake, Blue Springs, Florida Trail, and Jeremiah M Brewer
Some time ago, over twenty years now, we were camping in an old Ford pickup. It was a basic two-wheel drive truck; way before crew cabs became popular. It had crank windows, an engine that burned oil, no air conditioning, but it offered what we needed. I found a topper for $10.00 that was no… Continue reading Mere Reflection
The government partial shut down resulted in some National Parks, and National Forests being gated shut. Not an inconvenience compared to the government workers who were not getting paid for their labor. Do you suppose a law will ever pass stating that people of the Senate and Congress would be the first listed to not receive… Continue reading And Life Goes On
