The terrific Voices of Glory sang in AG chapel this morning. They were a top 5 finalist on America's Got Talent. They are pictured here with their mother who was in a head-on accident and miraculously came out of a coma after 8 months. She sat behind me and kept saying, "These kids are too much." I agree. Wonderful Christian singers, 11, 15, and 19 years old.

My favorite barn, like my college, is history. I passed it hundreds of times on walks and runs since I moved to Springfield. Last fall it was damaged by a storm, then, suddenly, it was gone. I took this a few years ago.

Unfortunately, since I have started running some again, I did not have my camera so had to make do with my iPhone.

105 years ago today, my maternal grandmother, Mary Mylon, was running for her life with her family from the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire.She never stopped running. It seemed that fire chased her all her life. In the chaos and confusion of escape, the Mylons were separated from one of their children, Mary's younger brother. For two days they didn't know if he was alive or dead. They

40 years ago today Tom Dempsey kicked the longest field goal in NFL history, 63 yards, for the N.O. Saints, winning a game 19-17 over the Detroit Lions with no time on the clock. Never broken (tied once). Dempsey was born with only part of a right arm and with a club right foot. All things are possible.

I've been rooting for the San Francisco Giants since 1958. They are finally the World Series champions.

"The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!" —Russ Hodges (1951)San Francisco beat Philly to go to their fourth World Series since coming to the City in 1958. Tonight the Series begins. I hope the next quote is: "The Giants win the Series! The Giants win the Series! The Giants win the Series!"

We have very few photos of my dad as a child. My sister Ellene brought this one of him at about 3 years old. Looks like it was fall. We believe this was in Arizona.

Drink at your own risk. OK, I did, as did several others in our group. Tasted like grape juice (not fermented).

Beat Phils, 3-2, in Philly and win series 4-2. Will face Rangers Weds. in World Series. I've been a Giants fan since they came to the Bay Area in 1958 and they've never won the Series. Will 2010 be the year?

Wild crocodiles infest the Rio Tarcoles in Costa Rica. I shot these in June 2010 when I was in Costa Rica for a week of ministry.

I am Ken. And I am a Forty-Niner fan. I feel this confession is important. I am one of the frustrated faithful.Football has not been kind to Niner fans for a bunch of years. We were reminded of this last night when Jerry Rice's #80 jersey was retired. There stood Joe Montana behind him. Steve Young had been on the pre-game. Those were the days.But the glory days have long been over for the

This great blue heron was actually standing right in my preferred spot when I arrived last week. This was taken after he moved a short distance off. Not surprisingly, I caught nothing in that spot. It takes a lot of fish to fill this big bird up.
