We all want to stand out. I personally wanted to do things people I knew never did before, just to stand out. Little did I realize that this was just me wanting to stand above. I wanted to be above. I wanted to be better than everyone else. Today all that changed. Today I realized... Continue Reading →

This is a composite of 6 shots. There were 9 exposures originally but the software on hand could not create a perfect stitch. Also, the white balance on the D40 was apparently set to 'Auto' at the time because I was getting all sorts of bogus colors, cold to warm from left to right. You... Continue Reading →

Christ is powerful and connected wirelessly. Our God is God at present. Christ is King, and Christ has been victorious, will be victorious, and is victorious at present. Through the direction and power of the Holy Spirit signs and wonders have been seen in all seasons, through all sorts of means. In this day and age, even with...

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow!Words are not enough to describe the complete beauty of our Heavenly Father, as seen through His Creation.

"The mountains and hills seemed to go on and on into the distance, and though that could have been picture perfect in itself, it seems as if The Lord was saying, 'You ain't seen nuthin' yet, son!' as a cloud in the distance burst with rain over the rolling landscape." - Sample 145, 'From A High...
