Happy Easter--Pointing to God


2 Corinthians 5:21 says it well:  "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

Christ took on all of His people's sins and experienced of the fullness of God's wrath against them.  In exchange, He clothed us with His perfect life of obedience, that we would stand before God as pure, spotless and blameless children.  To finalize His victory over sin, He was resurrected from the dead.  Death and sin no longer have a stranglehold (Romans 6:9).  Happy Easter.  May your soul long for the heavenly truths as these these buildings and trees do.

The Study of Children's Eyes

     Children have such beautiful eyes. Since they have a lot less baggage and inhibition, their eyes seem to convey a lot in those still moments. In these pictures, I tried use whatever I could to frame them. From dollhouse windows, toy cars to even cups and cupcakes, all of these were used to bring attention to their precious eyes.

Hamming It Up for Mama...

      We are quickly approaching the end of the homeschool year and are anticipating a summer of rest and relaxation.  With Easter around the corner, I've also been comforted and strengthened by the eternal Sabbath I have in Christ.  Spiritual rest and physical rest.  Ahh:  I  hope that means more sleep for me.

Church: Old School Style


     I am very blessed to live near such a lovely building.  Nowadays, it is fairly common to find a Protestant church in a warehouse, for whatever reason.   But thankfully, this church was built a generation or two ago.  It is not only a place of worship for me but one of beauty and wonder.
