Vicksburg MS Welcome Center

Did one of those long, all day drives to San Antonio yesterday. Tiring to say the least.

On the way, we stopped at the welcome center in Vicksburg Mississippi which is a great place to stop and walk around. For us it also meant getting out of the car without getting rained on since we had just driven out of a front that moved across the southeast, drenching travelers all along the way.

Here are some photos from that stop, looking into Louisiana.

Update and Christmas

I haven’t posted anything here in awhile but I also haven’t gone away. This is a very busy time of the year for everyone and it’s no different in our house.

For now, my wish is that everyone has a blessed and joyous Christmas! Spend as much time with your family and friends as you can (there’s no better time of the year to give the gift of forgiveness). Relax, take it easy, eat a little too much and go out for an extended walk. Enjoy nature, God’s miraculous creation.

Speaking of Christmas, why don’t we tell everyone we meet to have a Merry Christmas instead of the watered down Happy Holidays? The entire reason we have this holiday is because of the birth of Christ. Let’s buck the trend and say Merry Christmas!

So…MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
