We’re not in Kansas anymore.

Well Dorothy, I think you are right on the money.  Welcome to post-Christian America.  The morning after the presidential elections there was almost a sigh of relief, accompanied by a horrible sense of foreboding.  The sigh is because it is plain to see that this country has made it’s decision, and with more than 50% of the … Continue reading →

his will

I heard a wonderful teaching this morning on how to know what God’s will is for your life, and so I have put in some research of my own and would like to expound for you.

phone call from hell

My body is still shaking, and my jaw hurts from clenching my teeth.  After I hung up the phone I ran to my room, fell on my knees and wept.  Just thinking about this as I write is frightening.  I won’t apologize for what you are about to read if you don’t believe there is … Continue reading →

What is happening to me?

Two weeks ago I was given the honor (for the second year in a row) to photograph Haworth’s annual Prom party.  It is becoming a tradition for them to show a good time to the architectural and interior design community for specifying their furniture on their projects each year.  I was excited about going, to … Continue reading →
