2025 Photo Scavenger Hunt

3/2/25 – DEITY

If I were a DEITY worshipping kinda person I’d be interested in this church They also often have a big sign in front that’s rainbow colored & says in all caps YOU ARE LOVED. Because of that sign I think of it as the Church of Pete, cuz Pete Beers used to post that to fb all the time. He’d literally post ” If you are reading this, you are loved.”

We for sure need more of that, especially without Pete now – so I always appreciate this church

I loved mythology as a kid. Took a picture of Poseidon’s realm for my DEITY today

SPEAR

US Marine Corps War Memorial

I spent some time with these characters at Camp Lejeune, NC. while in the Navy Hospital Corps. Then I became a conscientious objector. Crazy story!

“In the military, the tip of the spear is the unit that makes first contact with the enemy. For example, the Marines are often called the tip of the spear because they are often the first on the ground in combat operations”
