Americana

Jim Begley and I started a new series of workshops in regions where there are rich opportunities to shoot Americana. Driving through rural Virginia today as made me even more excited about this series and the whole Americana subject matter. I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve just started to really appreciate things that are steeped in American History. I love my country, and I love to explore how we have changed over time. I happen to believe that God has richly blessed our country and the stories of our ancestors are a fascinating part of our story.

Thinking about all of this makes me so much more aware of the countless miracles God has visited on our nation. If you think of all the things we have survived, all the wars we have endured, and all the challenges we have faced, it gives you renewed hope that we can win against any odds, with God on our side.

For some time now, I have been praying for our leaders, and our country. I pray that we turn our hearts back to God and ask for His divine guidance and blessings.

Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.

It’s worth the effort.

Be blessed and pray for our blessed nation,

the pilgrim
