I was in Nashville yesterday and will be again today. \u00a0I’m continuing the farewell tour. \u00a0Lots of Nikon customers that i need to thank, and say goodbye to, at least in my role as the Nikon Tech Rep for NPS for the Southern U.S. \u00a0I love Nashville, it’s one of my very favorite ports of call. \u00a0There is a lot to love about Nashville, but two things stand out, Nick and Ricky! \u00a0Nicky Coury, wonderful photographer and one of the great gang at Durys’ Camera, and Ricky Skaggs the well known Blue Grass\/Country musician, are two of my dearest friends, and brothers in the Lord. \u00a0They both are great pals as photo buddies, (yes Ricky Skaggs, the same one you’re thinking about), is an accomplished photographer! \u00a0Of Course if you’ve been to Nick’s website and blog, (nickcoury.com), you know how good he is!! \u00a0As much as I appreciate that, it is their friendship that goes so much deeper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We ran over to Rotiers for a burger yesterday, wow, they were even better than I remembered, just might hit that place on the way out of town today!!!! \u00a0Anyway back to my guys! \u00a0Nick brought something up at lunch yesterday that really hit home for me, the need for other men, men of
\nGod to be accountable to in our lives. \u00a0It is critical, as Nick said, to have some very close associates that we are accountable to, people that will, lovingly, help us stay on the path. \u00a0Jim Begley, my partner in His Light has certainly been that for me, and Ricky and Nick are too!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This walk with Him is hard, and our natural man will definitely lead us astray, our closest brothers will lovingly, but strongly, call us on our bad behavior, and encourage us. \u00a0I thank God for these kinds of brothers, that will help us because they love us, and because they are called to do so by Jesus Himself!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the fellowship yesterday, and thankfully, my Nikon years coming to an end doesn’t mean these relationships with these great brothers has to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today’s Prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heavenly Father thank you for blessing me with such great brothers in my life. \u00a0Thank You that You love me enough that You provide real friends that will help me stay on the path that You’ve set me on. I thank you that every day I obey, and seek You, You bring such great blessings and others lives are effected in a great way. \u00a0May all he glory and honor, always be Yours! \u00a0In Christ’s name I pray. \u00a0Amen<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
