Observe — Our theme this week is “We cannot transform society’s opinion of beauty, but what we can change each day is our perception of beauty, our recognition of it in its right place, that it is lovely and something to be admired, but a deeper recognition that it is not where the true legacy of life of an individual lies. ~ Naomi Zacharias
How has the pressure in our world to “look beautiful” affected your heart and influenced your faith journey?
Bible — This week’s verse is 1 Chronicles 16:10-12 (NIV) “Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced…”

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go!   This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry.

About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire
