The best phrase I have encountered about being faithful comes from the title of Eugene Peterson’s book on the Psalms – A Long Obedience in the Same Direction. Being faithful is exactly that – a long process heading in the same way. This is true […]

Lent Photos 2013 – Day 24 – Find
You never know what you will find and where you will find it. Scripture speaks in many ways on this ranging from the person who is surprised to find the Kingdom of God in unique places and represented in unique ways to Jesus’ words about […]
Lent Photos 2013 – Day 23 – No
Strange topic for today…No. Its a word that I probably have said more in the last 8.5 years than I have in the preceding decades – there’s a lot of “no’s” that go on in the first few years of children’s lives. No, don’t touch […]
Lent 2013 Photos – Day 22 – Shadow
Not a lot to say about this one other than having to create something artificial – our cloudiness here the last few days has made it hard to get a good shadow picture. In thinking about this theme, I thought of how the cross should […]
Lent 2013 Photos – Day 21 – Night
The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not overcome it. – John 1:5 No matter how dark the night, the light will continue to shine. It will continue to be the light of hope, direction, and life.
Lent 2013 Photos – Day 20 – Bless

Lent 2013 Photos – Day 19 – Thirst

Lent Photos 2013 – Day 18 – Leave
I have been wrestling with this all day. And I keep coming back to one of my favorite U2 albums, All That You Can’t Leave Behind. Even though there’s not a song on the album with that title, there’s a lot on the album that […]
Lent 2013 Photos – Day 17 – Prophet
The voice of the prophet often seems small compared to what is around. The voice that calls out in the wilderness – is anyone listening? Yet the prophetic word needs to be spoken, regardless of whether it is heeded. The prophetic word must be spoken […]
Lent 2013 Photos – Day 16 – Earthy
In the beginning, the earth was a formless void. I am struck by the creation story and so many that follow in Scripture about the earth, the land. Even going so far forward as to when Jesus stops the stoning of the unnamed woman, Jesus […]
Lent 2013 Photos – Day 14 – Lift
This is a shot of a styrofoam plane that my oldest son has been playing with the last few days. An interesting thing happened when he first assembled it though. He put the horizontal stabilizer on the tail in the wrong place. Rather than sliding […]
