"favorite quotes"

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
~C. S. Lewis

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.
~Martin Luther King Jr.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
~Mother Teresa

If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.
~Robert Capa

We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams.
~Willy Wonka

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
~Pablo Picasso

Every baby comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged with man.
~Rabindranath Tagore

God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house… God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives… God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war… God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.
~Bono

Hannah the Bear


What can I say about this "little" girl. I will never forget the first time we met. She was a bit stubborn from the beginning... 57.5 hours of labor to find her way into the world... but very worth the wait. My joy, my pride, my firstborn.

Hannah is one of the most creative persons I know. Not only can she imagine it, she can design and create it. Amazing. I look forward to the creative journey she will lead our family on.

She loves God... I know, it's in her heart, it's in her mind, it's in her soul.

peace.

Eagle


I have known Joey for almost nine years. I have watched him grow into an incredible leader. This last week he obtained the highest rank offered in the Boys Scouts of America club… Eagle. I know he will soar. He is a leader. People will follow him into good and into bad… Because he’s a leader. His word is true, his heart has passion.

I took several shots of Joey for this weeks portrait, but this one stood out to me. He’s in front. He’s alone. He’s an Eagle. Time to fly.

peace.

Brother


When push comes to shove, there are a few people you want on your side to watch your back. Darren is that kind of man who you want. I've learned a lot from him. I now own many "little man" tools thanks to the encouragement of Darren telling me I can do it. I have little man stuff, because Darren is the MAN. However, it is not his tools that make him the man, though we joke often. It is his heart of a servant. If anyone thinks they can do it... Darren does it. He uses his gifts for so many others. His heart is a childs heart. He plays like a kid... BIG KID. Yet, his thoughts and heart show years of wisdom beyond his age. I am glad to have this man as a brother in Christ. What a wonderful glimps of what eternity will be with brothers like Darren.

peace.

my wife


I couldn't think of any person who deserves the first post more than Dawnette. Mother, Friend, Wife, Lover. What a blessing. I'll never forget the first time I saw her. A blessing then and even more today.
