This is my choice. This is my candidate. Because he supports life. Because he has the experience. Because he has chosen a most excellent running mate. Because he is presidential material. Because he does not plan to take my money and give to those who will not work.
And because he is not Obama.

Christmas special!

I'm also working up a package which includes the Christmas cards.

Christmas card pricing is $25 for 25 cards, ala carte.

Anna and Kyle ~ 10.03.08

Shot my first engagement session earlier this month with Anna and Kyle. They are too cute together and were suprisingly adventurous. In the woods, wading through a cotton field (complete with mice scurrying across the ground), on a manmade beach, kicking in a lake, and standing in a pool.

This is the completed DVD, just not quite as high quality.
Anna and Kyle both love Nat King Cole and Norah Jones, so...

Angel

Angels
Protectors
Guardians

Stories told,
Scriptures taught.
But nothing truer
than truth in flesh.
More real
for his presence.
Holding in his spirit,
protecting with a wary eye.

When I push.
He steps in still.
pulls me,
reigns me,
Safety all around me.
Security in his arms.

I am so...

inconsistent with my writing.
I just read Twilight, and while I'll admit the first couple of chapters, I questioned the depth of the actual writing, it grew on me. I was up until 5 finishing it. Coffee is my sustenance today.

And I oddly find myself thinking in complete, beautifully fashioned sentences.
500 something pages of highly detailed first person point of view writing has apparently worked it's way into my system.

Now, to do something productive with it. How about a book?, I think so nonsensically. How many times have I purposed to pen a novel and made it through one painstakingly crafted page, only to surrender willingly within 24 hours? The answer to that is MANY times.

What to right then?

Fannie's Wedding

Not all my photography, because I wasn't the official photographer, but I put it together for her anyway...

RE: Nikki's post

Funny that you mention all that.
Today's the first truly rainy day we've had in a LONG time, and it is oddly comforting to me. Driving to work was...peaceful. Surrounded by rain, not able to see but maybe a quarter mile ahead of me...the world wasn't so big anymore.
Who was it in the Bible that said "I don't concern myself with matters too great for me"? David, I think.

Malachi's absolute FAVORITE story is Jesus calming the waves.
David and Goliath--okay whatever, he was a giant, big deal.
But when Jesus says, "Peace, be still..." That is Malachi's favorite line. Sometimes, when I'm upset with him, Malachi will say in his most authoritative voice, "Peace, be still."

I quiet myself like a child, I still myself in the presence of the Lord, delighting in, finding peace in the comfort of His heart.
