I’m looking forward to being someplace else. \u00a0Enough said! \u00a0The His Light Workshops have been some of the most exciting times in my life. \u00a0The fellowship has been a breath of fresh air. \u00a0Working with Jim Begley and the rest of \u00a0our team has been wonderful. \u00a0Having great friends like Dr. Charles Stanley and Ricky Skaggs drop into our events has mad them all the more special. \u00a0As great as all of that is, that is not was has me the most excited.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The opportunity to gather photographers together that really want to worship as well as make great photographs has been heaven on earth for me. \u00a0 I’ve been running workshops for the last 25 to 30 years and it has all been great, but this new company is taking my joy to an all time high level. \u00a0The fellowship has been genuine and resulted in truly deep friendships, even more than that, more than once, a participant has share with us that their lives have been changed because of what happened and His Light. \u00a0Please don’t misunderstand, Jim or I, neither one, would ever suggest that we are changing people’s lives, only God can do that. \u00a0The incredible things is He is doing just that, and we get to be there when it happens.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I must confess that I’ve been like everyone else, self serving, self ingratiating, prideful, and selfish. \u00a0My greatest reward for deciding to follow Him is that I can walk away from all of that, and 99% of the time, stay away! \u00a0We all slip and fall, but the longer you walk with Him to quicker you see that your walking dangerously close to trouble!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyday I’m thankful that I can be experiencing my best years on this earth and I owe it all to Him, Thank you Father, I don’t deserve all the blessings you’ve bestowed on me, my family, and my precious friends,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In case you were wondering, there’s a lot more of those blessings on the table!<\/p>\n
