Don't Wait

Do you ever think "Oh, I should do....?" and then you DON'T? I'm sure I'm not alone in type of behavior. We always think we will have another opportunity, another day, year, 10 years... But do we? Sometimes opportunities only come around that one time, and then they are gone; the chance to do (you fill in the blank) might not come again. Too many times I have thought about doing something instead of actually just doing something- and then the chance is gone. One April morning, I woke up to find several inches of newly fallen snow. More than once, I have thought about going out in the cold and taking some photos, before people get out and mess up the beauty of God's handiwork-and then didn't. Well, this particular morning I did get out and take some photos and enjoy the magnificence of God's creation, if only for a few minutes. I have enjoyed those few minutes over and over each time I think about that morning. So, each day, whether it's shooting a photo, mailing a card, hugging a child, or smiling at a stranger, take these opportunities and DO something: You won't ever be sorry you did.

Sturbridge Village Photos

These are a few of the photos I shot in January of 2006. These were all taken in Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts. It was an unusually warm day for January, during what we call in New England the "January Thaw". To some, it seemed a dreary, rainy day; but to me, it was a fabulous day for shooting some great photos.

The Narrow Road

Today I would like to tell the story of this photo. It is one of my favorites, and the one that gave me confidence in my photographic abilities.
I shot this photo in Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts, just a precious few days before my only brother passed away. 20 years earlier, he had been in a terrible car accident, which left him paralyzed and without feeling from the neck down. He had been very ill for the previous few months and was near the end of his journey here on earth. Just as he was drifting into a peaceful sleep, he said, "It feels like someone is holding my hand." "It's God," I said, (for no one was there). "He's come to take you home." It was to be our last conversation.
Now, as I look at this photo, I like to think of my brother and the Lord, hand in hand, walking up the Narrow Road that leads to the Gateway of Heaven.




Enter ye in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it. Matthew 7:13-14

First Fence Post

Hey, I guess this is it. My first post. I'm not really sure about this, but I think it will be fun!
