NUMBER ONE<\/span>:<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0I have found a book that I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND! \u00a0This book by Chris Orwig is a must for any photographer that really does want to step up their game! \u00a0I was doing research as I start my second series of eBooks this winter and found this book by Chris. \u00a0It is a beautiful expression of the creative process and extremely liberating. \u00a0I will be quoting him in some of \u00a0my new offerings, but certainly would never try to duplicate his efforts, no sense in doing that, he has done it to well. \u00a0You can find this book in several forms on Amazon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NUMBER TWO<\/span>:<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0An explanation. \u00a0I just got and email from a person interested in a future workshop and they asked a very interesting question and it required a response, I liked that. \u00a0We often need to review our m motives and this was my response, just for the record the question was “I also saw your Artists for Jesus blog. I\u2019m not quite sure about your intentions there. Maybe\u00a0you could expand on that.”<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have been a believer, born again, and filled with the Holy Spirit for many,
\nmany years, and have always held fast to my faith. \u00a0In my personal and
\nprofessional life I have subscribed to the philosophy of asking myself
\n\u201cWhat Would Jesus Do?\u201d when approaching any decision. \u00a0Several years ago
\nafter years of praying for a specific ministry, God led me to start writing a
\nblog, which has become known as the Pilgrim\u2019s Chronicles. \u00a0It is my daily
\nsharing of what God is doing in my life, what He is teaching me and leading
\nme to share with others. \u00a0During this walk, as He has strengthened me, I
\nhave had another desire, from Him, the stand up for Christ in my profession.
\nWhen Jordan Smith, the young man that won the Voice this year (who happens
\nto be from my home town of Harlan, KY) I was so impressed that his young
\n21 year old man stood so strongly for his faith and sung songs you would not
\nnormally hear on such a show. \u00a0God honored that commitment on his part and
\nhe is on his way to a highly successful career in music.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had to ask myself the question, are you being as bold in your witness? \u00a0I<\/strong><\/span>
\n thought I was but felt to compelled, along with friends like Ricky Skaggs the<\/strong><\/span>
\n country bluegrass musician, Jim Haverstock, Ken Jenkins, all photo buddies,<\/strong><\/span>
\n and other friends to form this new organization. \u00a0Our sole purpose is to raise<\/strong><\/span>
\n the name of Jesus as we practice our craft, which we believe is God given and<\/strong><\/span>
\n to be shared in such a way as to honor Him.<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n
