Standing along the bay banks, watching the light change and the wind become still. \u00a0Bantering with the friends and sharing the joy of seeing this through the viewfinder, and then on the LCD! \u00a0It’s rewarding to take people to a great location and see the light happen and then see the sheer joy they can have!<\/p>\n

Jack and I were talking on our way back to Portland for me to fly home and him to go onto the Palouse for this weeks event! \u00a0I’m really, REALLY, \u00a0glad to be home, I truly am, but then a part of me would love to be doing sunrise from Step Toe Butte in the morning. \u00a0Isn’t that the way we are as shooters, always want to be where the action is, the light, the magic photographic moments. \u00a0But then last night I sat on the couch with my wife as the last light happened in my own back yard! \u00a0That was pretty spectacular too!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is my point to all of this, I’m not sure I have one. \u00a0I love life! \u00a0If I’m with Jack and some shooters trying to capture that magic moment, \u00a0I’m happy, but then if I’m with my bride, just being together, I love that too! \u00a0I think God has blessed me with life that is good either way. \u00a0I really miss Sherelene when \u00a0we are apart, but that just makes the homecoming all the sweeter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God promised us that if we would accept His Son, Jesus, we would be forgiven of our countless sins, and that He would lead us into a “Abundant Life!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He has kept that promise for me!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
