Healing (eighty)

Theme and backdrop for General Assembly worship...when are we going to stop hurting and start healing? Why do we hurt in the first place?

CC(DOC) (seventy-nine)

Yay 200 years of DOC!! Great start to General Assembly seeing this in the lobby of the Hilton in Indy!

Lynn's (seventy-eight)

On the way up to General Assembly of the Christian Church (DoC), 15 hour road-trip with 5 other people...stopped here for lunch, and apparently this place was on Bobby Flay or something on the Food Network at some point. Great food!

Elevator (seventy-seven)

While life can be looked at as an elevator, always up and down sometimes in a dizzying fasion...we must remember that we're the ones pushing the buttons though

Circularity (seventy-six)

Two symbols, the circle and light...reminds me of another combination of these two, the halo

Fountain (seventy-five)

Quite possibly the most intriguing fountain-ish type thing I've ever seen...

Lamp! (seventy-four)

I love lamp!

D.O.C. (seventy-three)

So excited about CC(DOC) General Assembly coming up in Indy soon!!!!

Sorry about not updating the past two weeks...it has included me out of town as well as a computer crashing and me losing most of my pictures, so the past week or so are older pictures, mostly from Mission Trip in March!

Christ (seventy-two)

Christ reaching out from the cross...my favorite piece of Jesus art. It shows the hope side of the cross rather than the sorrow side.

Wisteria (seventy-one)

Crawling up and out always, giving us beauty in sight and smell, wisteria is a wonderful flower.

Cactus (seventy)

It's all about perspective...seen as a painful annoyance for us, these spines are a wall of defense for a fragile plant underneath.

Shelter? (sixty-nine)

Sometimes we can't find full shelter...we have to make do with what we have and just experience the elements.

Heart (sixty-eight)

Our heart can be a maze sometimes...we get lost within it, caught up with the twists, turns, and dead-ends...

Path (sixty-seven)

Sometimes the path isn't defined, yet sometimes it's quite obvious and takes no discernment to figure out.

A Spark (sixty-six)

It all starts with just a little spark, a spark can grow to a tiny flame, a tiny flame can grow into a roaring fire...we must take care of that spark first though, else it cannot grow and can easily be snuffed out...

Stars (sixty-five)

Stars light the darkness, they help us navigate, they show us how tiny yet significant we truly are...Think about the stars today, even though this picture is artificial stars...

Bubbly & Smoky (sixty-four)

Dry ice can make anything fun...even gatorade!! What is a dry-ice additive that we could add to our lives in order to become more bubbly, more fun?

Harry Potter! (sixty-three)

Celebrating the release of HP at UCC by leading the potions lab...obviously the lacewing flies additive was a big hit!

Candles (sixty-two)

Fire is incredible, it is almost as if it's alive...it gives us heat, it gives us light and we need ask nothing of it...it's a great example of selfless giving to tell you the truth.

Mmmm...Chocolate (sixty-one)

Self-explanatory, chocolate rocks!

Tunnel-Vision (sixty)

When we focus on the great things only, what do we block out of our vision?

Stairway (fifty-nine)

Sometimes we can't see the top of the stairs because of the way they wind...all we can do is continue to climb.

Rocky Ground (fifty-eight)

You can either approach rocky ground by treading lightly and hoping not to trip, or you can run through it, take your bumps and bruises, appreciate its beauty and come out on the other side for the better.

Creation (fifty-seven)

More of creation, I just can't get enough of the beauty of God's wonderful Earth.

Protection (fifty-six)

A ceiling, screen of protection from the elements...or is it just limiting us from experience with the beauties of nature?

Colorado (fifty-five)

Another view from this past weekend, really I could take pictures in Colorado every day and not get tired!

Color the Sky (fifty-four)

I continue to see incredible colors in the sky this year, and some pretty neat clouds too!

4th! (fifty-three)

How can I not put up fireworks on the 4th?

Box (fifty-two)

Who needs to pay $100 for a toy when a cardboard box is more fun?

Reflection (fifty-one)

We reach out all the time, sometimes we only find ourself.

Light (fifty)

Or will the light find you?

Eye of God (forty-nine)

I loved how in the midst of the looming clouds there was an opening where the sun shined through.
