UNPLUGGING & RECHARGING
January 4, 2026 Jason Bonnicksen UNPLUGGING & RECHARGING 365 DAYS OF THANKSLIVING — DAY 35 As you can see from the title, that’s kind of what I’ve been doing all day after church. In fact for a lot of my day, I had my phone turned off and recharging. And I didn’t get to this […]
PEACEFUL STREETS
Over and again, I thank the Lord for bringing us here to this tiny town. I think he knew way back when that big city living was wearing us down. For those who like urban living, kudos to you; but if you only knew the joys that the peaceful streets of rural living brings.
FUN & GAMES
From time to time, a bit of fun and games are needed to entertain us all. This afternoon was one of those times. Afterall, Navy was playing Cincinnati in the Liberty Bowl. While my wife and I are almost always united, like 99.99999% of the time, during the 3½ hours of this game, our house was divided. (Don’t worry, it was just fun & games, and all.)

NATURE’S ARTISTRY
December 29, 2025 Jason Bonnicksen NATURE’S ARTISTRY 365 DAYS OF THANKSLIVING — DAY 29 I often gaze upon the heavens and the landscapes that surround us and marvel at God’s creation. I find it hard to believe that any aspect of creation is purely accident, coincidence, or sculpted by natural processes only. In all this, […]
THAT HAPPY PLACE
December 28, 2025 Jason Bonnicksen THAT HAPPY PLACE 365 DAYS OF THANKSLIVING — DAY 28 Today felt weird, like totally, abysmally strange.

No alarm clock; no real agenda; just giving the mind and body rest. That’s what was in store for this 361st day of the year. We all need days like […]
