Whether you're carrying regret, disappointment, failure, or even yesterday's success, God is calling you to look forward.
Some people are trapped by mistakes.
Others are trapped by memories of "the good old days."
Both keep us from walking into what God wants to do next.
God is always moving forward—and He's inviting you to do the same.
Your next chapter begins the moment you trust Him with today.
@CarlBovisNature Rescued one from my pool and put in a crate inside my house until his shock wore off and his feathers dried & then took him back outside to see if he could fly away. I was worried he had inhaled water & might die. He flew away & was fine. He hangs around my yard now.
@MerriamWebster One of the few English words that means completely different things depending on whether you’re talking about the weather… or a person.
That "Do Not Stop On Road" sign isn't there to ruin your photo. It's there to help wildlife cross safely.
While visiting your favorite national park, if you see elk or other animals near the road, keep moving, obey posted signs, and let wildlife stay wild.

Pikas may be small, but they sure are mighty! They are one of few mammal species in the Lower 48 that can survive their entire lives above tree line in high-alpine, rocky terrain.
Though they look like rodents, they're actually more closely related to rabbits and hares and only eat plants. In late summer, you might see them working diligently to gather mouthfuls of vegetation to sustain them through winter.
Listen for their distinct high-pitched calls - one of the most recognizable indicators of active pika habitat!

Help us give a big welcome to the second Youth Conservation Corps crew!
Over the next month, this team of 24 teens and youth leaders from 21 states will be working on many park priority projects, like improving hiking trails for visitors, refurbishing/redecking boardwalks near Old Faithful; collecting science data; collecting visitor use monitoring data throughout the park; installing bear boxes; and constructing and repairing fences.
It won't be all work though - they'll also have opportunities to learn about Yellowstone and have fun hiking, backpacking, camping, and more!
If you see them while you're venturing through the park, be sure to say hello - "Hey, YCC!!" 👋

They drove 900 cattle more than 500 miles in two and a half months across the American West.
In 1890, when railroad costs made shipping cattle from Arizona to California too expensive, ranchers at Empire Ranch made a bold decision: They'd drive the cattle there themselves. 🧵
@dcsheriff That young man will grow up courageous and will face any situation head on. He has a good head on him. But kids having fun shouldn’t be illegal.
Being respectful goes a long way. 👍
Sergeant Mithuen spotted four kids illegally riding electric dirt bikes and tried to pull them over. Three of them took off...
But one young man stopped, listened, and handled the situation the right way. Sergeant Mithuen had a solid conversation with him and his father, who came to pick him up. The rider received a warning, and the bike was released to his dad.
We truly appreciate the respect and cooperation this young man showed, but it’s still important to remember that what they were doing is against the law.
Take a gander at this gaggle.
A group of Canada geese can be called a gaggle on land, a skein in flight, or a plump when gathered closely in water.
