Seth, Rebecca and Ellie

I enjoyed watching Ellie with her dad and mom today. I love capturing family moments like this. Forty years from now when Ellie looks at these pictures, she will know her dad and mom loved and adored her.

Rockford Thanksgiving

We continued our tradition by celebrating Thanksgiving in Rockford with the Flage and Middleton families. Great food, great conversations and get time connecting! Enjoy.

The Coffee House

We had a great time visiting Jason and Erin in October in Waynesburg, PA. It was awesome to see how Erin has taken her creative design skills and Jason his barista background to create a welcoming environment for students and adults of all ages. The Coffee House is an amazing place! Jason and Erin are using the Coffee House to plant the seeds of the Gospel for the life of Waynesburg.

Seasons

The lush greens of spring and summer are beginning to give way to the golden yellows and browns of fall. The monarchs drink deeper of the nectar and wild flowers release their seeds in search of new life. Summer has past, fall is near. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

Iowa in September

This is a beautiful time of year in Iowa! It was fun getting out in the country earlier this week. And the New Covenant trail and pond is also picturesque in September. There's nothing like getting out in nature to refresh your soul. Enjoy!

Work Day :: Play Day

Today was a Work Day at New Covenant. Or as Linda Hochstedler likes to say, Play Day! We had a great turn out of people and wonderful weather. And a ton of stuff got done! It's amazing how much fun work can be when you have a clear goal and a great team! A huge "Thank You" to all who helped cultivate and create beauty today!

Geyer's Oven

We enjoyed our evening at Geyer's Oven. Dave and Anna Geyer have own a farm near Oxford, Iowa. Two nights a month they make pizza in their stone wood-fired oven for all who show up at the farm! A $10 donation gets you all the pizza you can eat! Anna also has a beautiful flower garden. It was a wonderful evening with good food, great weather, fun conversation and beautiful scenery. Enjoy!
