Harbor watch: in Sioux Falls because Kileen’s mom had heart surgery. So we sat by the falls last night to reconnect and recenter. Thank God for modern medicine and all healers.

What is it about bodies of water that make us want to throw rocks in them? Pondering for Harbor Watch and seeing joy in those who are doing this.

Harbor watch: one or two stones don’t make a beach but each one is necessary. One or two people don’t make a movement but when enough are gathered, something powerful and beautiful can happen.

Harbor watch, the sailboat rests safely in the harbor but it built to go out and explore the Lake. We too find times and places to be safe and rest, but are also called to go out and explore the world.

Forgot to take a picture down at the harbor. Harbor watch: if you miss the beauty of one spot, there is always another to lift your spirit.
