Disappointment …

RJ Walters

This is going to be one of those personal posts for me as it delves into my inner being but it needs to come out.  I think it is natural that when a person starts to realize his mortality that he tries to summarize his life and the world around him. For some it is about legacy, some just tr I have been doing that a lot the last few months. It is not that I  think I will die anytime soon but of course I have much more life behind me than ahead. I have been searching for that one word to … Continue reading Disappointment …

Coming In Droves…

RJ Walters

My bird feeders certainly get a lot of activity during the winter months.  We feed about 100 lbs of seed a month during that time.  One thing that always amazes me is that those coming to the feeder usually come in droves.  The squirrels were here in mass this morning. There were four of them who did not get included in the picture!  Soon the bluejays will come followed by the Cardinals.  Later in the day it is usually a very integrated group.   Continue reading Coming In Droves…

Omaha’s Wilderness Park

RJ Walters

   One of the most impressive city projects I have ever seen is the Wildnerness Park that extends through downtown Omaha Nebraska. I goes on for about a mile with bronze after bronze celebrating the buffalo that once populated so much of that State.   Here is a rather extensive gallery/slideshow but it is still nothing like actually seeing them in person. As usual click on any picture to see a larger slideshow view. Continue reading Omaha’s Wilderness Park

Sasha in Utah..

RJ Walters

For this 5 star Monday I wanted to show you a picture of one of my girlfriends. My wife doesn’t mind my love affair with her. I got her in April 2012 and she had only 7 miles on her. This picture was taken somewhere in Utah but I can’t really remember where.but I know it was her maiden voyage out west. This pic has been used on Chevrolet’s blog site so I guess they  must have been impressed.  I think “Sasha my sassy Sonic “looks pretty good with the like colored bluffs in the background.  She now has about 40,000 miles … Continue reading Sasha in Utah..

To Those Who Need It The Most…..

RJ Walters

Today I thought I would talk to you about my struggle with the inconsistency of the Bible. Philip Gulley who has written several books on this topic is a well know Christian author of the Quaker persuasion. He is one of my favorite authors of any genre. Let’s start this topic with a quote from one of his books. For what good is grace—this unconditional love of God—if it is not extended to those who deserve it the least but need it the most? God is love. Holiness and justice are not competing commitments. God has not chosen to turn his … Continue reading To Those Who Need It The Most…..

Omaha…

RJ Walters

  Omaha is perhaps my favorite city. It has a small town feel but is ripe with history and preservation.  The sculptures strewn throughout the downtown area are awesome. It is also the home of the Durham Museum and Father Flanagan’s Boys Home. We spent four days there on two separate occasions and still haven’t seen all there is to see. For more pictures of Omaha click on the gallery page on the right side here. as usual click on any picture to see a larger slideshow view  Continue reading Omaha…

A Few Of My Favorite Things…

RJ Walters

No the title above does not mean that this is a tribute to The Sound Of Music. But it is about two of my favorite things and that is Hoosier Cabinets and historical re-enactors. I was once in the business of making Hoosier Cabinets reproduction. They were the home baking center in the early 1900s in many rural homes.  I also totally admire all those who help us to understand how life was in past ages. This picture was taken at the Prophet’s Town State Park near Lafayette Indiana.   Continue reading A Few Of My Favorite Things…
