“The One That Got Away”
It’s funny how life hits you over the head with some things sometimes. At least until you get the point. And let’s just say, I’m nursing a pretty big welt on my noggin from where I’ve been repeatedly struck. Metaphorically, of course. Although, at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes physical, too. […]

Little Space, Big Perspective
Oh NYC, how I’ve missed you! I came in for a shoot this morning, which finished early. Placing me smack dab in midtown in the afternoon; right before the mad dash of suits leave the office for the day and clog the streets with over polished dress shoes and designer menswear. It’s was one of […]

Scam Alert

And I’m not talking about getting sufficiently burnt to a crisp. Because, you better believe that I’ve got a medical grade […]

A Love that Lets Go
I’ve spent a lot of time recently in my own head. Today marks the three month mark since my mom’s stroke, and there have been a lot of ups and a lot of downs. And I’m learning a lot. And honestly, I’m learning a lot about God’s love for us. We’ve reached the stage in my […]

That happened to me today. At church. We were reading the Lazaraus story, where Jesus raises Lauzarus from […]
