Though already a few hours into the morning, the forest is still seemingly cloaked in barely lightened dawn. A lone bird quietly sings the day’s arrival as we make our way through the eerily silent trees. Muted yellows and puddles of red mixed with the green trees among the hills, autumn slipped in among the …
God knows exactly what I need and today is certainly a good example of that. With all the vaccinations I am taking, there seems to be two or three days of feeling “under the weather” a few days after I get each round of shots. It’s not fun. Substituting, you never know what you’ll get …
Note: I wrote this in response to a fellow student’s posting from the mystics class. I believe we tend to sense God more deeply in the darkness because we cannot rely on our five physical senses and must therefore rely on that deeper intuition that God is nearby. We must reach out for him with …
Great news! Michael opened his eyes yesterday and is responding! The doctors are going to try letting him breathe on his own today and he is going to have an MRI to look at his brain functioning. The family has started a blog to let everyone know how Michael is doing. You can find it …

Last Thursday I got two of the vaccinations I needed and have slept more than usual since. Tomorrow I get two more. I feel sorry for my body. I already put it through a flu shot and it thanked me by feeling under the weather for about two days. I also took a pint of …
Last night God came to me in my dreams. He doesn’t do it often but when He does, it’s always very powerful and always stays with me for a very long time. This particular one has been in my head and heart all day. I originally wanted to take the mystics class at the seminary …
Part of the “photography package” for a show is me spending some time with the cast taking pictures of them putting makeup on and hanging out. It is actually one of my favorite parts of what I do. Last night they were a little camera shy so I put the really good zoom lense on …
Ever since I heard about Bauman Farms last year from Emily, I wanted to go. Thus, it was added to my yearly bucket list, the things I would like to do the next year. Knowing it was a kids oriented place, I talked Randy into taking his granddaughter, Hannah. This is the same girl we …
