This photo was taken during one of the hardest times in my life. Corinne and I were facing a future of financial loss and utter abandonment.

Photography 101 Day 16: Treasure & Close-up
What’s your treasure? Perhaps you found a coat at the thrift store like the one your grandfather wore, or took a once-in-a-lifetime trip through the Himalaya. Maybe you treasure your children, or your cat, or a quiet space in the woods. Show us an image that represents a treasure to you. This assignment reminds me…
The Power of Words
Our words are powerful. King Solomon, considered one of the wisest people to ever live, once said, “Words kill; words give life; they’re either poison or fruit…you choose.” We choose the words that come out of our mouth. Remember…we may have to eat them. I would rather eat fruit than poison.

How’s your Hope Meter?
A hopeful person is person who practices hope. Psalm 71:14 says, “I will hope continually and will praise you [Lord] yet more and more.” This verse sounds good to the ears but my question is: Is it practical…is it doable?
