I’m a cyclist. Not a race-winning, super fast, well-known cyclist, but an average-pace, somewhat normal human being that loves to ride a bike. In fact, I love to ride so much, I’m planning to ride the Southern Tier in September this year. I need to practice a lot to...

When we arrived to the Mission Arlington conference Saturday morning, Tillie was quick to put us to work. What better way to see what is going on there than to experience it first hand? Works for me, I’m ready! She quickly found drivers for the three buses filled with...

There were some really nice thunderstorms rolling into Nuevo Laredo. Yep, you guessed it, I had to break out the camera. I got some great lightening shots. God put on an amazing show! I had a few people ask, “How do you do that?” It’s simple, really. Place your...
