January Photo Contest

 The theme for the January photo contest was 'signs'.  Here are three of my entries:  'No matter how you got there it's Trails End', 'Accurate DNR Fire Sign', and 'To Pee or not to Pee...'.

After our walk yesterday, Indy stiffened up.  She was having problems even getting up and down by the time I went to bed.  Didn't help that everything was coated w/ ice this morning so we both slipped and slid on the morning constitutional.  She was better once I got home from church and is pretty much back to her old self tonight.  Think though that we'll put off taking the long walk through the swamp again until the underlying ice on the trail melts.

Realized this morning that I'm listening to sermons differently after reading all of those books on the early Christian church.  Decided I preferred the sermons I heard at Riverside Mission.  Riverside Mission was a tiny church whose denomination was just Christian and a farmer that served as leader. Therefore the 'sermons' were straight from the Bible and lacked any
insight, nuance, current day application that a formal pastor feels the need to add.  Of course it's possible that I don't remember church at Riverside well since I was a kid and the sermons seemed short 'cause I'd fall asleep.
