Biography
I grew up in Amarillo, Texas. When I met and married Chuck in 1972, I had just graduated from the University of Texas in Austin, and he was fresh from the Navy and almost finished with drafting classes. After Chuck graduated, we moved to Denver and began to explore Colorado from top to bottom and from end to end. A trip to Yellowstone in 1975 really got us started. Since then, crisscrossing the U.S. many times, exploring parts of Canada, even driving the unpaved Alaska Highway as far as the tiny towns of Homer, Stuart, Circle, etc., we’ve put about 2 million miles on various cars! And we spent a summer camping by train across 17 countries in Europe.
As we travel, I’m compelled to take home the beauty God has painted for us. In pictures.
Chuck is an artist (www.chuckmiddlekauff.com), but as you may have guessed from all that mileage, he’s even more of a driver. He thinks of travel as a verb. KEEP MOVING. Guess what. He’s not great at stopping for pictures. Before the digital age, when all my photos were on film, I only got one chance to take my shots. If he stopped. Because we were on foot or on the train in Europe, however, I had more chances. But film and developing were expensive. Just 21 rolls of 36 in three months.
Now days, my digital point-and-shoot camera takes quick pics. Cheap. As many as I want. But I have to say our car’s windshield frames most of my photos. Absolutely nobody else has those exact shots. When Chuck does stop the car, his patience only lasts a few minutes. If I wait for a cloud to move, he honks the horn. So, I often put my feet in the exact same place others’ feet have worn the grass down and shoot those same shots.
With all of that traveling I’m also a travel writer. I wrote a Sunday travel column for the Longmont (Colorado) Daily Times-Call newspaper for five years, and editors at the Dallas Morning News, San Jose Mercury Times, Austin American-Statesman, Kansas City Star, Nashville Tennessean, and others, and editors at Sophisticated Living, American Cowboy, Western Styles, Persimmon Hill, Resources (Insurance), and The Santa Fean magazines have published my writing. And lots of my photos have shown up on those pages, too.
Besides those columns and articles, I’ve written a book, Take Someone with You to Heaven. Some of the stories are about the times Chuck and have shared the very good news about Jesus with people in prisons and jails. Others happened at Walgreens, the streets of NYC, on the running trail in Austin, etc.
Here’s why: the Bible says, “ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23
If all have sinned, does that include you? Where will you be in 100 years? Will a holy God let you into His heaven. If you’re not sure, please contact me at cwrite4jesus@aol.com
