Excerpts from my Adventures with God
When all is said and done And our life draws to a close, It will not matter how far we’ve come If nothing that’s Christ-like shows. It’s what we’ve become that matters… It’s who we are in Christ It’s how near we’ve come to His image And what Jesus would think of our lives. God…
Tall buildings surround my office which makes parking extremely limited. I park at the cheapest lot within a reasonable distance that has available spots. That is until I left town for six weeks. Before leaving, I turned in my parking pass so I would not be charged. Little did I realize what would be happening…
You look down into a face. It’s dirty, snotty, serious. Surrounding the face is a mess of hair. You know lice may be in that hair. And who knows where the rubber boats they wear have been. Probably running through animal manure or worse. Their clothing has dirt on it. This is what hits your…
Two roads lay before us each and every day. The question we must choice with everything we do: which one will we travel. That was the thought in my mind as I sat next to this sign on my way to work. It fit with the lingering thoughts of the past few days since I…

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to photography Lighthouse Event’s Snowball Shootout 10k race. It was a dream course for a photographer. The start line, one mile mark, 3.1 mile turn around spot, 4.1 mile mark, and finish line were within one hundred feet of each other. You could shoot the start, walk fifty…
Yesterday, I read an article about a photographer who is documenting the death of real-life conversations. He does not own a smart phone but takes his camera with him almost everywhere and captures life as he goes. In a photo series he titled Death of a Conversation, he captures people connecting with their devices when…
The other day, I was involved in a conversation about people growing in the Lord. A few lines of the conversation went something like this: Other person: “They want to grow in the Lord.” me: “I think they wish to. I don’t think they actually want to.” There is a big difference between wishing to…
