to our six grandchildren. \u00a0 She is the only person I trust to tell me the truth about my photography, my walk with the Lord, and my integrity, she knows me better than anyone and she always shoots straight with me! \u00a0I devote one week of vacation time every year to place her in an environment that I know will renew her physically, emotionally, and spiritually. \u00a0That usually only requires warm weather an an ocean! \u00a0Together we&#8217;ve explored most of the Caribbean, Hawaii and still enjoy finding new places to let her rest and recuperate!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It has been the greatest honor of my life to be called her husband, and honor I still can&#8217;t imagine how I won! \u00a0Take a moment today to be truly thankful for the man or woman that God has placed in your life. \u00a0As Paul instructed, \u00a0Love her like our Lord loved the church, He gave His very \u00a0life for her. \u00a0That&#8217;s the perfect model of love&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the pilrim<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This week I will share something each post for which I am very, very thankful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*Photo Notes: \u00a0the top image was snapped with an iPhone \u00a04s on our flight down, it&#8217;s shocking how little an iPhone does for picutres of me! \u00a0 the images below was with the really neat Coolpix AW100 which really encourages you to shoot different with it&#8217;s being waterproof to a depth of 30 feet!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[4789]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-Blog Post Image wp-image-4795\" title=\"SF in pool 2\" src=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-580x436.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-580x436.jpg 580w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-270x203.jpg 270w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-960x722.jpg 960w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-600x451.jpg 600w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-880x662.jpg 880w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-400x301.jpg 400w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-500x376.jpg 500w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21-664x500.jpg 664w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/SF-in-pool-21.jpg 1004w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[4789]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-Blog Post Image wp-image-4796\" title=\"water level!\" src=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-580x392.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-580x392.jpg 580w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-270x182.jpg 270w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-960x649.jpg 960w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-600x406.jpg 600w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-880x595.jpg 880w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-350x236.jpg 350w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-400x270.jpg 400w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-370x250.jpg 370w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-500x338.jpg 500w, https:\/\/billfortney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/water-level1-738x500.jpg 738w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
