If Eternity Is Forever, Am I There Now?
Boca Grande There was only one ask, “Be at the dock by 10:00 am.” “Gee gosh, you mean I have to set an alarm? Punta Gorda is a two hours drive away! Well OK, if I have too.” Getting up early has its rewards. Coincidently my brother Bill and his wife Vicky were vacationing in… Continue reading “Where are we going?” “I dunno, where is your heart leading you?”
Love thy neighbor. Which one? The quiet retired couple to the right of us, the loud talkers several more sites to the right, or the spring break party bunch behind us? They are all neighbors. This transient, nomadic life style provides for many neighbors. We have different neighbors almost every day. Every week or so, we… Continue reading Neighbors
For six day’s Deb and I partnered with “Time To Revive” (TTR) in Apollo Beach, Florida. It was a controlled blur. Everyday a great deal happened, too much to document and share. To paint a tiny picture of how the TTR model plays out, I have three short stories; Blissology, Gibsonton, and The Tower. Blissology… Continue reading Love, Listen, Discern, Respond
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
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
Rock Springs and Wekiwa Springs are about 10 miles from each other. Form Kelly Park we accessed both. Wekiwa Springs had far more kayak, canoe, and SUP traffic than Rock Springs. We found that Rock Spring was more clear for a longer distance than Wekiwa Spring. One day we hiked 10 miles of trails at Wekiwa… Continue reading Kayaking Springs
An Emergency Response Team was training at Kelly Park. It was a pleasure visiting with Chief Justin, and an honor lifting his courageous men up in prayer. His response team, being no different than other brave men and women who face adversity, trauma situations, and danger for a living, need all the prayer they can get. On… Continue reading Kelly Park and Prayer
