<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> It's June 2019. Photos from my Nebraska days at the Centennial College are not clear enough to use for the upcoming reunion. Vicki Van Steenburg phones me from California. A former Centennial College alum she likes my idea. I had talked about doing an inked drawing from photos I had. That way the artwork could be new and original. Her subsequent phone calls kept lighting fires under me. Energizing me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One day when I was a student at the Seward Public High School -- some classmates of mine went with me at the City Park in Seward, Nebraska -- to walk with a long string. My father recorded the event. Double click on images to enlarge.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My classmates Jeff Bowman and Herb Jensen lead the rest.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Three years later --- in 1976 I attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. I lived in a dormitory on 16th Street. The Centennial Educational Program was housed in Love Hall, next door to the Neihardt Residential Center. I took independent study classes thru Centennial. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On afternoon in 1976 --- a dozen students from that complex met together to go for a walk. A walk around the campus while holding a long string. Dubbed the "String Walk." It was ad-lib. Impulsive. Creative. Something us centennial-ites enjoyed doing. Laughing. Exploring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There were no photographs of that outing. It was spontaneous.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I talked with Vicki Van Steenburg over the phone 43 years later -- the fun and excitement of my Centennial years came back to me. Energy from those wonderful memories egged me on to do a pencil composition at my desk.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When we returned from Mesa, Arizona -- I thought I could resume doing cold therapy the way I had previously done it. NO. I COULD NOT!!! My regular routine was toooooo much for my body. It had been 24 days without the rigorous training. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started over - spending less time in the tub during the workout. Instead of the 12 minutes, I dropped back to only 4 minutes. Another day it was 8 minutes. The next time it was 12 minutes. A day later it was up to 15 minutes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The workouts vary. Jan and I look at the water temp, the air temp, and how we are feeling that day. One thing I can tell you is that CT works for us. It is the workout of our choice. We burn off fat by sitting in a tub of cold water between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. </span></div>

The 140 gallon stock tank was bought at Orschelns Farm Supply for 96 dollars September 2018. This video gives you an idea of its size and how water is put in. There is no pump. Anybody can do this.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The work out is called Cold Thermogenesis. It is the generating of heat and burning fat. Not at the gym. Not with exercising muscles and sweating. But by cold adaption. While sitting in water between 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit hormones in humans work better. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mitochondria, the batteries in our cells, spin faster. The body creates more brown fat (brown adipose tissue). This is what we have around our neck and spine and chest to keep organs warm. During the workout of sitting in cold water the body transforms white fat (white adipose tissue) into brown fat, which gives off heat much faster. Leptin is a hormone that controls metabolism and blood sugar. </span></div>

the cold activates a metabolic pathway in the body that shuts off sugar

thermogenesis. That means calories cannot be stored in the cold when

Jan and I stayed with distant cousins Marty and Melanie Runge in Wichita, Kansas. Luther and Carmen Runge in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A tremendous surprise in Gallup, New Mexico. An overnight with Carrollton friend Crystal Turner in Cottonwood, Arizona. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2006 Jan and I made a trip out to see the Turners. The art couple had lived in Carrollton, Missouri, a number of years. Michael was a good friend on mine. He was known for his mylar paintings. (See sample below) He died January of 2018. Lots of history between us. Crystal is a sweet friend.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> At the nurse station I finished telling the charge nurse Ronda about the yellow cars on my trip. She nodded her head in agreement. "Your stories give me chills," she said. She proceeded to tell me about the blue huron. She once had just made a difficult decision and the Lord sent her a visible confirmation. As soon as she saw it she knew that the Lord was present and that she was loved by Him. "The Lord sent a royal blue giant beautiful heron by me. It flew passed as I was driving home. It was majestic."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> It was 12 days after the Vermont conference. Jan and I got home Monday afternoon. Our 3,600 mile road trip completed. Two cats were relieved to see us. The cat sitter has been told her job was finished.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Shawn Scott, the nurse attendant, updated the gal who was next in line to take over his duties. "Everything is new," he said as he looked over the chart in his hands. "That would be the title of this story," said Jan as she lay in her hospital bed. Following Wednesday's tests, Jan was admitted to the hospital overnight. The staff worked to lower her blood pressure. I camped out in her room, sleeping on the sofa. Thursday morning I jotted this down:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #cfe2f3;"> Your words come as I drive from the hospital to our house this morning. "Behold I make all things new." Jan and I are back from seventeen day trip. Monday afternoon. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> On Tuesday we drove to Liberty to eat at the Fish Market - Asian shrimp sandwich - and Sprouts and - later - that night Jan has 101.9 degree fever. Her ankles and top of feet are red splotched - dark and swollen. I became concerned. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> On Wed. the Nurse Practitioner said: "All kinds of tests. You stay around. Won't release Jan until there is a plan in place!!"</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Her blood pressure was high. 280.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Blood work came back. Metabolic was good. Chest + heart fine. Jan put in Room 113. It seemed to be our new motel room. Ha.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Last night read 144. Regulating her blood pressure. A tiny medicine patch on her back shoulder. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was reorganizing motel slips from the trip when I noticed THIS. The last motel room on our trip was #113. The room Jan is in at the hospital is #113. I noticed the words: EXPRESS CHECK-OUT. The phrase: "Thanks for checking us out" is usually what you say when you leave. Does this mean Jan will get out soon? I glue it in my journal and this page becomes a WORD of HOPE.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #f4cccc;">Lord --- in this -- You are in THIS !!!!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #cfe2f3;"> On Thursday, in addition to hourly monitoring her blood pressure the Wound Clinic team came by. A blister formed where the butt check joins the leg. Irritated by bunched clothing on trip - pressure - and sitting on it. Last day of trip. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The team scraped a sample of tissue to test it. They also are treating a cat scratch on the front of her left leg.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"> <span style="color: #f4cccc;">My sister-in-law texted words that still challenge me to pay attention -- saying: </span></span><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">"You can help her with the emotional side of wound treatment. God will use what you learned."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #f4cccc;">She referred to my year long about with chronic ankle wounds in 2016. My weekly appointments at the Carrollton Wound Clinic. My healing complete. Wound free, two years on.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #f4cccc;">My sister-in-law won't let it go -- adding:</span> </span></span><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"You understand the emotional journey. Empathy has its own healing power." </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #cfe2f3;"> I add her wisdom to a full page in the journal.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Friday morning, June 15th, Jan and I sat in the sunshine. Our glasses off, bare feet grounded, fifteen minutes of sunshine, portals in our skin absorbing free vitamins. Being out there was OUR THING. IT WAS US. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The Nourish Vermont experience took some processing. Six days later Jan and I had gone through the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut. In the village of Mount Kisco, New York we chatted at a diner with the Total Eclipse couple we met at the Carrollton City Pool, the ones from Chappaqua. The husband told me about motor boats. Later that day, Jan and I drove along the Hudson River to the village of Fishkill, New York. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That morning as I looked back and wrote down what I had learned, a mess happened and made me stop - and think.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Issue of motor boats: The husband told me story of the man-made lakes at Quabbin Reservoir (south of Orange, Massachusetts) People in charge decided to flood the region to create the large lake. That meant the former towns were at the bottom of the huge lake. Then the people in charge said you could not use your own boat on the water. You had to rent one. You had to rent one of their boats. A boat with an outboard motor on it. The husband complained about that decision, because the motor boat would pollute the lake water that others drank from. The reservoir provided the drinking water for the towns. In his estimation it made no sense to spoil the drinking water that everyone used. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> One concern raised at the Nourish conference was the increase of radiation coming into neighborhoods. Metal boxes are showing up in neighborhoods to boost electronic signals. Apparatus in clusters on rooftops. Cellphones next to our heads exposes us to radiation. Cars with the latest technology become "hot spots." Too much exposure is a poison. Brain functions are affected. It messes with our thinking process. You can lose your focus, feel dizzy or dazed, tired all the time, have a hard time sleeping. The concern rises with children and adults who are plugged in every minute of the day. There are sicknesses the doctors flat out disregard. First it was 3G (third generation technology), now some cities are introducing 5G. Cell towers are closer together and to what end? Where is public safety? Where is the testing on humans concerning this malaise? Why should an industry be able to make decisions for cities that affect everybody?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Personal choices can limit your exposure. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">= My wife and I already shut off the breaker switch to our bedroom each night to limit the signals coming in. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">= We set our cellphones on "Flight Mode" before we go to sleep or when we are not using them. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">= Talking over the speakerphone moves the source away from your head and your brain. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">= We shut off the Blu-Tooth mode in our car. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">= Some people answer texts at the end of the day. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">= Some limit cell phone usage to nine minutes a day.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">= You can unplug your Wi-Fi router when not in use. Unplug your computer.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Signals keep coming in to your house until you shut it off. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I learned this from the presenter <a href="http://nontinfoilemf.com/">Nick Pineault</a> of Montreal Canada</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #d9ead3;"> Nourish Vermont speakers raised other public health warnings, such as the chemicals some farms used on their crops. Again, the practice of one group affects the health of the many. If I do something for myself that is one thing. If I do something that affects groups of people that is when it becomes political. Not everyone agrees how it it done.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> Tuesday AM. As Jan and I climb out of the outdoor swimming pool - she spies it first. The apparatus atop the main motel. It looks like the "5G" we had heard about. The hidden netting that is invading the spaces where we live. I refer to it as Darth Vader. We slept under that? !!!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #ea9999;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"> The big mess astonished me. As I paused from journaling, and listened, this strong impression filled my mind:</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><b><span style="color: #ead1dc;"> </span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="color: #ead1dc;"> </span>## The 5G electronic stuff is beyond my control !!! ##</span></b></span></span><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> </span> </span></span><br />

That spill, it drew my attention to The Topic. Circumstances beyond my regulation. To rest in You, Jesus. To seek Your protection. Celebrate Your care, Your power, Your aid.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="color: #b6d7a8;"> I resume writing:</span> <span style="color: #ead1dc;">So, our friend from Chappaqua, the wife, she shared how easy technology is to use.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> At our hotel there was a placard on the wall. It read: "We're making changes." Our trip to Nourish Vermont has had its push back. When Jan faced retiring, going to the country club, to stand up in front of her peers and be recognized for her service, the many years teaching art, and all the previous years doing Parents As Teachers. The applause, the feelings, emotions, and turning in her classroom key to the front desk. It was like a huge weight falling off the shoulders. Bittersweet. Her connection to all the students, memories of hugs and exchanges. "We Are Making Changes." I put that phrase in my journal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Another placard said: "Change is brewing." A coffee ad, for sure. The words jumped out at me. Like a whisper from God. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Being miles away from home, wanting to switch hotel contracts, I felt helpless. Weak. The desk manager at the Hilton Express Inn went to bat for us, using her resources to advocate for us, and help switch the contracts for us. It was so awkward, and yet I felt like God was fighting our battle through that stranger in ways that seemed miraculous. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> June 1st -- Friday morning we all gathered in the Coach Barn for the Nourish Vermont conference. Folded chairs ready for people with notebooks and pens. We sat behind a couple from the Finger Lakes region, Renee and John. She was doing geneology on her folks and she shared a website with me to find old newspapers for my own research on Alfred Fowler. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The brick arch entrance went up in 1901. High pitched slate roofs. It reminded me of something out of Hogwarts in the Harry Potters movie series. In front was a low stage where speakers would make their presentations. Jan was all into this. I came along, not knowing what would come of this. Days after the two day conference I began to sort out my own memories. The ones that meant something to me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Each morning began with a couple who helped attendees leave their external matters behind -- to center -- to make a space within for something new -- to begin afresh. The first morning was about SOUNDS produced by resonating crystal bowls and chanting. I let the modality wash over me and drew in my journal, swirls and doodles that come when I am resting. Inside my inner thoughts settled on the love note I was fashioning for the Lord.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The next morning opened with a drum. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I enjoyed listening to <a href="https://youtu.be/tjLW_DaQ9qI">Jeff Leach</a>, as he talked about the health of stomach biomes in Africa. How tribes perceived to be sicker than the American lifestyle, actually enjoy a richer and more diverse gut bacteria and are far healthier for it. </span><a href="https://youtu.be/a0qInNLRv_w"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nick Pineault</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, an advocate for personal moderation when it came to exposure to electronic smog. Jan enjoyed Jack Kruse and Everything.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> There was a lot of science spoken about. Discoveries that had been made at the cellular level. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> On Sunday, the day after the conference was over, I spent time out in the sunshine -- shoes off my feet -- glasses off my face -- journal across my lap -- reflecting. Here was something that summed the conference up for me:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;">How those who marvel at the engineering -- they fret -- they stammer -- they are puzzled -- they scratch their heads -- and suggest we must fear and panic and question. </span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> That morning in the sunshine, waiting and listening. Contemplating the times I have been helped by the Lord. The words of encouragement He put in my mind that lifted me. The way He drew my mind into a precious embrace. Soon phrases came, His soothing touch, His calm. ------ I jotted down the fragments that follow here: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Consider the birds of the air they do not labor -- and your heavenly Father provides food and shelter for them.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> He makes it possible for amoebas without organs</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> to sense food</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> to move toward it</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> to surround it</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and consume it.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> How much more does He think of you and meet your daily needs.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Zone I was in became an open channel. I wrote what was on my heart, it like a dialouge. An internal back and forth. The words spoke to me as I jotted them down:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Lord, this morning -- after two days at the conference -- I look to You, Jesus. The science of the complexity in the cell -- machines and motors You created to do protein tasks -- its fragility -- how things can go wrong -- but how You think on it and cause it to work==!!!</span></span></span><br />

Drawing. Do some art for ourselves. That came on Thursday morning</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> In Glen Falls, New York ------ there are no waterfalls. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> But I learned from the hotel desk clerk there was a boat ramp to the Hudson River just off the Big Boom Road. Thursday morning after packing up to go, Jan and I found the Big Boom Road, drove south, and found a grassy area and with convenient park bench.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> From a full hour we both drew on our art pads. Jan did on from inside the car, seated. I drew from the park bench. Hers in graphite pencil. Mine in pencil and water soluble colored pencil. It was quiet. It was great. It was fantastic. IT WAS US !!!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> My wife and I like to walk in water, whether it is at the Carrollton city pool outdoors, the Lifestyle Fitness Center indoor pool, and today in Lake Erie at Walnut Beach in Ashtabula, Ohio. This trip is about the future. Jan retired from teaching art at CES in Carrollton, Missouri. Going to Vermont is an abstraction. Retirement is like Vermont, an unknowable future. How will Jan transition into retirement? What routine will she adopt as her own? Me, I've been doing this since 2016. So -- traveling to Burlington, Vermont for a two day speaker packed conference -- it is a peek into what we are going to be -- as a couple retired. Now traveling. And then after the conference -- what then???</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sketch from cellphone. I asked a local about Walnut Beach. He told me the swimming season usually starts later in June, when the weather gets warm enough. The water is cold. He said it was unseasonably warm. This is a good thing for Jan and I WANT to be in the water on our trip up. So, today, we walked out from the hot sand into the cool lake waters.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> We walked along the roped perimeter of the swimming area. Jan spied a buoy bobbing. Other swimmers swam beyond the safe zone to the buoy and swam back. Jan wanted to. I had mixed feelings. Soon I realized it was safe for Jan, since her body mass keeps her afloat. She swam. Reach it. Rested. And swam back to me. We're approximating it was 75 feet out. Just a guess. She is a fish. She loves to swim.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> As we walked out, we held hands, and steadied each other to stay upright. Our feet sunk through the sand and small pebbles, with each step. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Awkward.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Together, side by side. A mental picture of support. This entry added for Monday, May 28.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The next day we skipped Niagara Falls and crossed the lower portion of New York state, through Jonestown, Olean, visited Jan's life coach in Ithica, New York, and stayed over in Geneva, near the Finger Lakes.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> It was our hope to stop at some point and draw. Do some art for ourselves. That came on Thursday morning.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> My current artwork is pen and ink drawings from our Vermont road trip. Colored pencil on notebook paper preserved personal episodes along the way. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> To start off our retirement my wife chose Burlington, Vermont as our destination. We drove 300 miles each day. Staying in motels. Both of us took turns driving. We swam in Lake Champlain and indoor motel pools. The couple we met at the Carrollton city pool who were from Chappaqua, New York --- the ones who were returning from Colorado and decided to view the <a href="https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/missouri/">Total Eclipse</a> last August from <a href="https://www.carrolltonmo.org/">our village</a> --- we caught up with them at a cafe in Mount Kisco. We drove from Missouri through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York state to Burlington, Vermont. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Jan wanted to experience the "Nourish Vermont" conference held at the <a href="https://shelburnefarms.org/">Shelburne Farms.</a> We did. She loved every minute of it. My thoughts went into my journal. The trip was a success. We returned from the seventeen day excursion. The 3,600 mile experience together. She thanked me for planning the trip. She noted we did not fight. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> We left the Interstate to look for a lake. She held the map. I followed her directions. As we drove here and there the anxiety rose in me. I wondered how long it would take to find this lake. Traffic passed by in the opposite lane. I saw a bright yellow <span style="color: yellow;"><b>CAR</b></span> go by. Then regular traffic. Soon a bright yellow <span style="color: yellow;"><b>PICKUP TRUCK</b></span> went by. Driving on. When the bright yellow <span style="color: yellow;"><b>SEMI TRUCK</b></span> passed by I began to count yellow vehicles. Soon I had counted nine. I had a suspicion someone try to tell me something. Yellow is the colored pencil I use to highlight passages in my prayer journal that I want to remember <span style="color: yellow;"><b>MOST</b></span>. We had driven out of a village into the countryside. This did not look like where we needed to be. Where was this lake? Then I saw the barn off the road. Most barns had some kind of embellishment painted on its side. On this barn was a circle with a large letter "K." My first name starts with the letter K. I recognized that the Lord was using the bright yellow cars and this large K to reassure me, that He was with me, present, and that this wild goose chase was going to be Okay. He was here right now to lead my wife and I to our destination. The way He does His thing to help me out, to calm my heart, in the middle of THIS. We found the lake. We enjoyed moving through warm and cold pockets of water.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Back on the Interstate I was reading from Luhrmann's book. Jan was driving. Luhrmann was discussing when the Lord speaks to our minds, it is both our thoughts in our mind but it is also something that we weren't thinking about. It comes suddenly, easily, and gently. And His words encourage and give me support. I like to think of it as an ambush. Or, that He redirects what I am thinking about, so that I become aware of His presence, and He brings me peace of mind. And with these incoming thoughts I feel loved and cared for, and I know I belong to Him. It is an amazing thing. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> So as I am meditating on this, my wife reads the words off the license plate that just passed by. She says, "NEW LIFE." I look up from the book, I look at her, and ask: "What did you say?" She repeats the words NEW LIFE. It dawns on me the Lord is in this moment, breaking in to my reading just the way Luhrmann sez He does. I'm astonished and my body tingles. It is so cool. This episode will later be written in my prayer journal. Sunday May 27, 2018. Richmond, Indiana.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Still later, I am driving and ahead is an overpass. Underneath the metal girding is not a dull grey or a lifeless green, no, it is bright yellow. I pass under 1 - 2 - 3 yellow overpasses. One of my favorite numbers is 3. Three yellow overpasses. I laugh. I tell Jan about it. We chuckle. The Lord has gone out of His way - to line this all up for me -- to know that I am His. That He thinks about me. And that this trip is going to work out.</span></span><br />

Twenty-five thousand to be exact. Cut out from black construction paper.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During the course of the work week, as she met with her art students, second through sixth grade, Mrs. Marxhausen showed them the butterfly templates she had cut out. She gave them ideas how they might decorate them. Then, each class got busy cutting and crayon coloring their creations from the construction paper at their table.</span></span><br />
