I’ve camped in groups and a little glamping at Camp Willow Run in boxcars. The last time Parish and I went solo tent camping was almost 35 years ago, when I was 7 months pregnant with Victoria. We borrowed a tent from a friend. Needless to say, we had very little equipment to go on…

Jesus’ Compassion and Anger: Insights from Gentle and Lowly
I started re-reading Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. My lovely friend Leslie recommended this book, or at least that’s how I remember it. It’s a book I often return to, and I even have it in audio format so I can listen to the chapters. The central theme of the book is to help us…
York River State Park & Richmond Adventure on E-Bikes
This weekend was a holiday weekend, so we had more time to explore. After teaching on Saturday morning, we went out to York River State Park! A scenic drive from Chesterfield and ample parking with a visitor’s center to get your trail maps. We consistently ask the rangers and workers what the best trails are…
Adventure Awaits: Discover Ashland’s Scenic Trail and Eats
An afternoon adventure to the Ashland Trolley Line Trail offers a delightful escape into a mix of nature and small-town charm. The trail, a nicely paved path, is perfect for a leisurely bike ride or a brisk walk. It is part of a bigger plan to connect Ashland to Petersburg, VA! Check it out here….
Chippokes State Park: History, Nature, and Fun
This state park truly rose to the “most favorite” for its beauty and bike trails. We visited Chippokes State Park a few years ago during the holiday season. They provided a wreath-making session, and we fell in love with the park. Upon return, we did not realize the depth of what it had to offer….
Discover Jamestown via the Capital Trail: A Perfect Day Trip
We’ve sectioned the Capital Trail to enjoy it in chunks. Today we parked our car at the Chickahominy Riverfront Park in Charles City, VA. Typical of our day, we started later than we had hoped, but we were able to head out by 1:30. With an hour drive there, we enjoyed the scenery along the…
Finding Stillness: Reflections on Time
Tanya Tucker was featured on NPR a few years ago. She made a comeback album in her later years. I decided to check it out. One particular song called “Bring My Flowers Now” intrigued me–the concept of embracing time now, don’t wait. So if you got love, then you’re sittin’ on a gold mineAnd you…
Bike Adventures on High Bridge Trail
Another E-bike adventure! Although we were lagging due to illness, we packed our bags and kept our itinerary. The rain on Sunday kept us from a friend ride, which was disappointing, but Monday was a great sunny day for the High Bridge Trail in Farmville, VA. We watched a few YouTube videos about the trail….
Exploring Fulfillment of God’s Word in Our Lives
I wanted to return to John Chapter 6, specifically verse 60: “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?” This response was directed to Jesus after a teaching that went against their beliefs and understanding. It was too far-fetched for them to believe, and they could not grasp the more profound meaning….
The Miracle of Faith: Lessons from John Chapter 6
John Chapter 6 in the Discovering Jesus study has the theme of faith, belief, and the Holy Spirit. I love the story of the little boy who came to hear Jesus with his mama’s packed lunch of 5 barley loaves and two fish. Perhaps the lunch was for him, his siblings, and the father who…
