Beauty Every Day!

From the rising of the sun to its setting

The name of the Lord is to be praised.

(Psalm 113)

Yesterday morning, on the drive to school...

Yesterday evening, on the Montevideo coast...

Conference in Fray Bentos

This past weekend we returned to the “Litoral” (the western side of Uruguay). The drive, four hours west and north out of Montevideo, took us through the departments of San José, Colonia, and Soriano, across the Río Negro itself, and into the department of Río Negro, to Fray Bentos, the departmental capital, on the Río Uruguay.

Getting away for a bit, even on a drive to another area of ministry, is always refreshing.

¡Los amo!

This visit to Fray Bentos was a first for our family (and even for me), and I echo thoughts I penned almost one year ago when we traveled to Carmelo, also on the southwest side of Uruguay.

I love being in cities in the interior of Uruguay, where a major portion of my childhood memories were formed. Though I also love living in MVD, part of my heart will always be in these areas of Uruguay that seem to have remained largely untouched by so many of the daily challenges in the capital...

Looking back, I wish I’d taken pictures of our hotel, a colonial style household, complete with a central patio courtyard, full of springtime blooms.

This amazing architecture was across the street from our hotel!

JM and I both spoke at the one-day family conference, attended by about 90 from various area churches, including one from the Argentine city of Gualeguaychú, across the Río Uruguay.

I’m thankful once again for the opportunity to learn, to grow, to share... As I said last year, opportunities like these force me (to make more time) to do what I need and want to be doing anyway – studying Scripture (on a deeper level) in order to be better able to share Truth that I’m learning...

Responsibilities back in Montevideo kept us from staying longer, but we enjoyed the (almost) springtime scenery on the drive home...

E spied a Tarantula Hawk (“San Jorge” in Spanish),

the largest wasp with the most painful sting!

The “Barrio Anglo” (in Fray Bentos) was declared a World Heritage Site in 2015 because of its role in WWII. We need to return for a tour someday.

Thankful for these blessings!

¡Felices de haber podido participar!

O tal vez (en mi caso, por lo menos): “Yo caminé…” 😉

Beware of Fallacies!

I shared the following anecdote in September 2017:

Shortly after waking up this morning, DJ remarked to me:

Better late than never! is a false disjunction – because people could arrive on time! 😉

. . .

This year, I’m more thankful than ever that both keep thinking...

A recent opportunity for E occurred in the classroom, when a professor, talking about those who hold religious beliefs/convictions, said:

It’s one thing to believe. It’s another to think.

E later told me: That’s a false disjunction: I believe because I think. 😉
