Smoky Night Sunset

The air was very smoky last night, which makes it difficult to breathe, but makes for amazing sunsets.  I found a spot in an unharvested wheat field, and spent some time capturing the gift God blessed us with through the smoky night.

Please show support and respect to this family for their son's sacrifice:  

Janene Grende shared this on facebook.........Army Spc. Ethan Martin will be coming home Friday, August 17th. His family will be waiting in Sandpoint, at the airport, as Ethan comes home from Dover AFBAn official procession will bring him home to Bonners Ferry. PLEASE, please take time out of your day to bring an American flag, make a sign saying THANK YOU, and let's line up along the highway in front of the Bonners Ferry
 middle school and National Guard building. It is expected that Ethan will pass by at 1130 am TOMORROW in Bonners Ferry. Please spread the word, gather your Boy Scout troops, your 4-H groups, your civic groups, church groups, office staff...etc. Can we please show this family our gratitude? Let's begin gathering at about 11:00 am at the National Guard, or earlier, to ensure we are there on time. I would love to see our love and gratitude stretch the entire highway clear to the funeral home and beyond.  We should line the hwy from Big R north with people and flags too!

Storms of Life

I know a lot of people facing many trials and life storms right now.  It is easy to get swept away in the worry, circumstances, and stress of those trials but we have to remember God is there, and He is bigger than anything we face.  The fact is, we all face life storms and trials in our life.  The question is how do we deal with them?  Do we get wrapped up in fear, or do we turn to God, knowing He will take care of us and guide us through the storm.
