<\/p>\n
I just had a fantastic two weeks in the most unexpected way!!! \u00a0You already know about how everything was wrong but ended all RIGHT in Buffalo with a great bunch of photographers!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I went on to Akron to join Jack Graham for our Semi-Annual Amish Country Workshop, well there was NO color, it was bald sky sunny everyday, but once again a \u00a0great group of students worked hard, improved everyday and we had a wonderful time!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tired and sick, I trudged down to Liberty University where I had promised to speak to classes for Tim Isaacson, (head of their photo department, and a dear Christian brother), and to do an evening community wide program. \u00a0I came within a hair of cancelling, but the Holy Spirit said, “rest and I will hold you up, you’re here for a purpose!” \u00a0 I was obediaent. \u00a0The program went great but the real blessing came on the morning before I spoke when Tim took me to the Convocation program held three days a week for students, I walked into a beautiful basketball arena to find the 9,000 seats filled with students singing and praising! \u00a0An American college campus in 2017, with more than half of the student body there to workshop and it’s not mandatory!!!!! \u00a0My heart was filled with joy, and it carried me through all the classes and evening program! \u00a0I took a trip to the Well!!!!<\/p>\n

This song by Casting Crowns tells it all!<\/p>\n
