Vic & Gwen's Journey

Know the Way - Show the Way

“This act of personal surrender is called many things: consecration, making Jesus your Lord, taking up your cross, dying to self, yielding to the Spirit. What matters is that you do it, not what you call it. God wants your life - all of it. Ninety-five percent is not enough."

Rick Warren

Take some time to imagine the scene where you and God review your life together. What single step could you take today to most minimize the regret factor at the end of your life?"

John Ortberg

“In a principle-centered life, the journey and the destination are one."

Stephen Covey

“We must become the change we seek in the world“

Gandhi

“The Christian life is all about relationship”

Erik Kebedi

Leaving for Alcoa. My sister, Cheryl, is driving.
Downtown Arthur, IL - Horse drawn buggies are common sights in this area. Many Amish women make quilts and we enjoyed browsing through a wonderful quilt supply store located in downtown Arthur. It had a great selection of fabrics, patterns, and accessories.
This photo was taken at a general store. An area of the parking lot is designated for horse-drawn buggies.
An Amish buggy on a country road.
Most buildings on personal property are painted white.
We saw many in the Amish community riding bicycles - a common mode of transportation.
Roadsigns warn of slow moving horse-drawn buggies.
The Amish farms were kept very neat and tidy. A farmer (center of the photo) is working in the garden.
Another well-kept farm
Work horses are used in the fields.
There were several buggies in the front yard of this Amish farm.
We noted laundry hanging out on the lines to dry numerous times. It appeared that the women's clothing was hung separate from the men's.
This horse and buggy was in the parking lot of a general goods store that is frequented by the Amish.
