Interesting sights along the road between Utah and Colorado.

All that was missing from the top of the red rock formation was

some cool Native Warrior on his horse! It was spectacular!

Wanderlust.....

"Before I shaped you in the womb,

I knew all about you.

Before you saw the light of day,

I had holy plans for you:

A prophet to the nations—

that's what I had in mind for you."

Jeremiah 1:5 (The Message)

Wanderlust.....

Please open the gate, Lord, and let me out.

I'm tired of being penned in and it's time to find the green pastures

You've promised me.

Remember?

Could there really be anything more beautiful than snow falling? I know you Sandy people love the sunshine but every snowflake is a kiss from my Father and I really, really dig it!

Makes Me Smile!

One of the most wonderful things about being a Beste is discovering fun stuff like Jack Black on "Yo Gabba Gabba". Life is oh-so-good!

Israel

I have a confession to make: Israel has somehow crept into my bones. It may have something to do with breaking my ribs on the way to her border, but I dunno.....it just happened and I feel unalterably changed. Now, I'm not saying Israel will ever overtake Norway as first in my heart but it was amazing to be there and see the ancient stones and gates of her city. We wept together at the Holocaust Museum, climbed the steps to Mt Zion, prayed in the Garden ofGethsemane, witnessed the empty tomb and stole dirt from the place of the crucifixion (a major Immigration violation but you just have to do things when your son asks, right?), and worshiped at the Wailing Wall, to name a few things. Thank you, Jeanne and John, for such a gift.

Snowy Winter!

Collection of Interesting Experiences in Utah:

1. I have SNOW right outside my front door on most nights!

2. The white glow at night that comes through my blinds is the reflection of the moon on the SNOW!

3. I have icicles dangling from my license plate!

4. I saw six BIG beautiful deer walking through my neighborhood a couple of nights ago!

5. There are shoveled tracks through the grass in my front yard so Spencer can do his bi'ness and not be buried alive.

6. The arrow thingy on the car thermostat never rises above the "C" any more.

7. There are gorgeous clouds that hang like a gauze-y veils around the mountains in front of my house and it's a glorious site!

It's all amazing! Thank you, Utah, I'm falling more and more in love with you!
