Today was a travel day. Destination: Vienna, Austria. Oh my goodness! I have always wanted to visit Vienna and now, here I am! So, this morning we took our time getting on the road. It was hard to leave Salzburg and The Sacher Hotel but I was looking forward to the next destination. As I […]
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Psalms 19:1 When I look around and see the beauty of God’s creation and the reflection of His glory, I am in awe. Austria is such a beautiful place. It takes my breath away. (I apologize in advance for all […]
We got a late start today. We had to check out, gas up, get permits, have lunch and we were finally ready to hit the road. Destination: Salzburg, Austria! Yay! One of my most favorite places in Europe. The drive from Munich, Germany to Salzburg is only a couple of hours. It’s a good thing […]
BMW Welt Today was the day we’ve been waiting for! Today Stan picked up his new BMW M3 Coupe! The first thing we had to do was figure out how to get from our hotel to the BMW plant on the subway. I wasn’t worried because Stan is so good at figuring these things out. […]
We were greeted at the airport on Sunday by a driver from BMW named Rolf. He was an excellent tour guide pointing out all the points of interests from the airport to the hotel. Instead of taking the highway, he opted for narrow two-lane roads through the farmlands which were lush and green. At one point […]
Happy Father’s Day 2012 from Munich, Germany! Last night Stan and I left Chicago for a 31-day European holiday! This trip is especially exciting for me because Stan made all the plans and arrangements and kept all the details a BIG secret so I have no idea where we are going. That is blind trust, my friends! […]
“Let go.” I don’t even like the sound of those words. “Let go, H.” I grip tighter. Maybe if I re-group, re-evaluate. There must be a way to make this work. What am I missing? “Me.” Romans 8: 32 – He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for […]
2 Corinthians 4:18 – So we fix our eyes ~ not on what is seen ~ but on what is UNSEEN, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. In my continuing quest to meet God right here, right now, I have been struggling with laying every thing else aside and […]
I was reading a daily devotional recently and the writer was making the point that, “the PRESENT is where God always awaits you.” For some reason those words ~ and that realization ~ struck me. I haven’t been able to get the idea out of my head. I decided to dig a little deeper. What […]
One of the first and most important truths we should know about choices is that we all GET to make them. The freedom to make choices for ourselves is a God-given right and He is extremely committed to that right. God is the ONLY being in all of creation who could justifiably CONTROL our decisions, and […]
