A few quick things:

Take a look at this picture of ice that was coming out of the roof of a car wash and went all the way to the ground. This was about 3 feet around and 10 feet high, really cool looking.

The sun was shinning, which is a rarety in Iowa in the winter, so I got the glare on the door behind it.

I also went to a friends house to watch the Super Bowl. On the way, I saw these deer on a hill.


I don't know why I love that as much as I do, but I love to see wild life that close to my car, without me actually hitting them. These were a little bit off the road, I should have taken a picture 1/2 mile earlier when there was a group 10 feet off the road, but there was only about 10 of them, not as impressive. On our way to church, we go through an area that we call "Deer alley" because we see deer almost everytime we go through. Sometimes its at night and they are standing on the sidewalk, so that can be a little starteling. Not to mention that everything that comes into your headlight beams is potentially a deer, so you jump. I don't know how many times I have been frightened by a fire hydrant. I guess I think there are midget deer in Iowa. Don't laugh, you don't know, that could be the new thing, like miniture ponies or daschund dogs.

You will have to excuse my spelling, if you see something off. My spell checker on my blog isn't functioning and I don't spell very well. Isn't it amazing how much we rely on technology, and when it doesn't work, we can't function. I have more on that, but it has to wait until I'm back from Mexico. And no, I can't tell you why. I am planning on taking my laptop to Mexico with me, so I should be able to post to my blog as soon as I get back. Check it out on Monday the 18th to see if I got it done. I can't post while I'm there, but I can write while it's fresh on my mind.

Not sure if I'll post again before I leave, so pray for our safety, for us to connect with the people we are going to serve, and pray the language barrier doesn't hinder our ability to share the love of Jesus Christ, because he is why we are going. John 20:21 As my Father has sent me, I am sending you.
