Just Relaxing

Posted in Photography

Project 365 – #050 Today was a day for relaxing and that included our puppy.  Yes, he sleeps in the bed with us.  He use to hop right up onto the bed, but now he needs to be lifted up.  He has no problem hopping down which means that I need to lift him up onto the bed several times during the night. Anyway, we enjoyed watching the NBA All-Star activities this afternoon/evening while Munchkin and D put together a Lego set.  The slam dunk contest did not disappoint this year.  Tomorrow, we’ll probably watch the All-Star game. Do you…

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #049 One of the things that I’m constantly impressing upon Munchkin is the importance of being true to herself.  It’s so easy to get caught up in trying to fit in or striving to please others.  Somehow, during that process, the true person within gets lost in the shuffle.  The person that the Lord made us to be starts to slip away. The funny thing is that while I sit here and try to teach Munchkin these valuable principles I am forced to reflect on how I am handling my own life.  What are my motivations for…

Charting a Course

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #048 D and I are both planners.  We like to have a course charted in most if not all areas of our lives, but there are times when something happens and we’re blown off our planned course.  We’re currently dealing with some of those crazy storms right now.  (Lest friends and family worry… Nothing terrible is going on, but the storms are there just the same.) If you’re in the military, you’re familiar with the term Semper Gumby.  You expect things to be unknown.  Plans can change in the blink of an eye.  It becomes so routine…

Reflection

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #047 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. ~3 John 1:2-4~ These last couple of weeks have been a blessing for me even though I’ve been sick.  It’s been a time of resting, but it’s also been a time for me to reflect on my weaknesses as well…
