Christmas Miracles

This Christmas I’m thankful for many miracles, the coming of a Savior who changed our lives, and the blessings of this life.  Family, friends, faith, and the joy of being a photographer.  Brian Stefl and his family stopped though Corbin, and had breakfast with Stephen Hart, Wesley and I and then I got this wonderful Christmas Card from him and his wife Carrie!  It just reminded me of the greatest joy, people like him, and Jim Begley, Jim Haverstock, Richard Small, Jack Graham, Carl Turner, Snake, and Chuck, Raymond, Ted, Ron, Susan, and Lynn, Don, well you get it, lots and lots of great people that make this life, here worth while!

 

Then there is the new lives that join us!  We welcome into this world Olivia, born to John and Sarah Walrath.  They are blessed this Christmas.

 

 

The next blessing I’m enjoying this Christmas season is a renewed love for photography! Retiring has helped me focus on the more pure aspect of seeing, searching and enjoying the process.  The switch to a lighter system has lifted my spirits as well!  I’m loving the freedom it brings!

 

Merry Christmas,

    As I sit here on Christmas Eve I am thinking about all my blessings. One of them is getting to know you Bill. Merry Christmas to you and your family. And thank you for your ministry of love, faith and photography.

    Belated Merry Christmas, Bill. Just returned from a family circuit Christmas which was such a joy. I thank God for your friendship. What a blessing and what fun you and Jim Begley and Snake and Chuck have been in my life.

    Mr. Fortney,
    I just want to say Happy New Year to you and your family. Your blogs encourage me so much! Oh, and by the way, Happy Retirement. May God continue to use you in this stage of your life as you bless others with your words and your photography!
