Easter 2011

We had the privilege of attending a sunrise service this past Sunday to remember and reflect on the empty cross and empty tomb that symbolize the hope and new life that we can have through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I took this picture with my cell phone as we were on the hilltop waiting for the sunrise. It was overcast, and storms were brewing to the south. But, as you can see, there was a break in the clouds right where the sun would be coming up.

As you go through this year, think back to Easter and the life that we have through our risen Lord.

Riley – The Dog

IMG 0347

 

No set of pictures would be complete without a picture of Riley, The Dog. Right now he’s almost full grown, but just over 3 lbs. K-State fans should pay close attention to the purple harness he is wearing. We finally found one that was small enough at Pets N Stuff in Westloop in Manhattan.

Yep, he’s a pretty good puppy!

RCHS Renaissance – March 12, 2011

The Renaissance ensemble from Riley County High School performed the National Anthem at the Kansas State 2A Basketball Championship this past weekend at Bramlege Coliseum in Manhattan.

Of course, I’ve got special interest in this group!

I thought they gave a quality performance and acted professional in all their interaction with the facility staff.

Enjoy!

Who would have predicted this…

And such was the scene following the K-State v. KU basketball game on Valentine’s Day, where K-State came out victorious.

…and the crowd rushed the floor.

Thanks to Warren Parker who took this shot with his Galaxy S phone from the upper levels.

First Snow of 2011

We finally got the first snow of the season in Riley County. It started snowing late Sunday night and went on throughout the day on Monday. The sun is shining today, but it’s cold outside today.

My measurements show over 7″ of the white stuff.

Most schools in the area had classes cancelled yesterday, and many of them are closed again today.

Just remember this picture next July when the temperature is over 100 degrees!

Happy sledding!
