Life is made up of many steps. How far you go depends on the amount of steps you take. It’s comfortable to stay put, but progress is only made when you allow God to move you to the next step. The Business Owners Planning and Strategy Workshop hosted this past...
Having brought the CEF Calendar project to a close on Wednesday, I was scheduled to fly on Thursday from St. Louis to Charlotte to attend the Stelzl Business Workshop. No big deal, right? It was fairly early in the week when I first heard about the serious snow and...
“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.” –C. S. Lewis About the picture: My brother David and I watched the sunset over Two Medicine Lake in Glacier...
January’s the time for planning! It’s the time to evaluate the lessons I’ve learned from last year’s successes and mistakes. It’s the time to set long-range goals to keep me from making “short-range” decisions. It’s the time to stake boundaries and search out new...
Just wanted to post a picture before heading out tomorrow to spend Christmas with friends in North Carolina. This ornament on my families Christmas tree commemorates what I hope folks would consider to be a special time in history (ie. the year I was born) and is...
The Glow of Faith Over the Thanksgiving holiday—that charming time of year which so mysteriously blends emotive recollection with cheerful anticipation—I visited Fort New Salem with the band of friends and relatives who had come to visit and celebrate the festive...
Here’s a great story I ran across today. It has nothing to do with photography, but I think it’s true and certainly gives a good dose of perspective. A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to...
Tomorrow is election day. Use you’re freedom to make a difference in America by going out to vote! We might not have the best candidates in the world to choose from, but everybody will vote for somebody. And it’s not just a presidential race either. If you’re not...
October in Glacier NP Jesus said unto them, “Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, ‘Be thou removed,' and be thou cast into the sea;’ it shall be...
I took this picture over the summer and think it’s a good illustration of a quote I heard even earlier this year by Tom Hill: “Contentment allows you to manage your resources while keeping resources from managing you.” The hummingbird is an excellent manager...
Over the weekend, I traveled with my family out to Allentown, PA, to attend my cousin Tim’s wedding. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more fabulous location for a wedding! The intricacy and dignity of old buildings have always fascinated me, and the cathedral in...
Odd title, I know. But it’s the root of something I’ve been thinking about recently. Here in Gimpo-si, on the west side of Seoul, South Korea, it is certainly a blessing to be in the suburbs instead of dead center in the metropolis. It’s not in the middle of...
Clad in cargo pants, t-shirt and hiking boots--my camera pack securely strapped to my back, a tripod dangling from my waist--I was ready for whatever adventure lay before me! But I must say, I felt very much out of place standing there in line with the mob of...
Being in Korea on Memorial Day is a little different than being in the States. Though it is not a recognized holiday here, Donald and I took the opportunity to recognize with honor a special group of great men and women from the past during a recent fieldtrip to...
In a recent post, The Work of Art, I talked about how difficult it is to create beautiful landscape images. More often than not, beauty is ascertained by much more than just our sense of sight, so it is often discouraging when we return to our homes, look over our...
I have found over the past few years, and more acutely in recent months, that the hardest part about traveling abroad is being away from my dear family. Especially Mom. Hence, it is such a delight when God brings little reminders long my way, such as this...
I used not to. But that changed after I learned my lesson! Back in the early months of 2010, I had a method of backing up my files on DVDs, but because it was such a long process, I would procrastinate for months and months until I slowly ditched the whole process...
At 2:20 this morning, on April 15th, exactly 100 years ago, the RMS Titanic slipped beneath the surface of the North Atlantic. With my brother being somewhat of a historian, I have been kept up to date with the timeline and many facts surrounding this tragic event....
I didn’t have time to edit pictures today like I was hoping, but I did run across a quote that I thought would make a quick substitute. I read the quote in one of Living Waters’ weekly e-mail newsletters: my top inspiration for witnessing while I’m traveling. I...
If the trail’s the only thing around to take pictures of, than go find a new trail! This expression popped into my head as I knelt down in the dust to take the following picture. I had climbed to the top of a low mountain ridge in Crystal Cove State Park near...
