When I think about life, i think about what joys come into it. \u00a0For me as a photographer, I can’t help but think of those joys as brilliant, gorgeous colors that come into my life. \u00a0When I see a wonderful color, whether brilliant like the flower paintings above, or subtle like some of the old rusted cars I so often post, they are all beautiful to me. \u00a0In the same way some of the most beautiful colors in my life are the great blessings from God. \u00a0I got a text from a dear friend at Nikon today telling me I was missed at a big meeting taking place for most of my co-workers in Las Vegas. \u00a0It meant a lot to me that someone took a moment to say they were sorry I was not with them. \u00a0I work with a great group of people and I’m blessed to be a part of that team! \u00a0I’m married to an incredible woman, truly the love of my life, and she brings wonderful color into my life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over the Christmas season, all my family was with Sherelene and I and once again the fellowship was great! \u00a0I email and speak on the phone often with Chuck Summers, and Jim Begley and it is wonderful to have great friends like that, they truly color my life in a marvelous way! \u00a0 I’m planning several workshops this year, and I can’t wait to see those fantastic friends we’ve made through photography and faith! Being in New Orleans this past week, covering the bowl games, \u00a0has been a color experience all in itself. \u00a0What I’m trying to say is that as a photographer I’m excited by light and color, and I see those things as part of the incredible joy that comes from belonging to Him. \u00a0I know He wants to give us really great experiences, that will bring us joy, and help us to draw closer to Him. \u00a0The recognition of these blessing is an important part of a walk with Him! \u00a0Thankfulness is expressing how wonderful He has made our lives and the sheer beauty we see in His plan for us!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I pray you are allowing Him to color your world in a beautiful way!<\/p>\n
