I was at my CAPTURE booth, Donald was running the Embassy booth, Esther was helping out in Pre-Embassy, Daniel was playing piano for the Children’s Institute, and our whole family got to […]

Light in a Dark World
It’s been just over a month since we had the privilege of making the trip down to North Carolina to witness the wedding of Matthew and Amanda Wilkes! It was evident that both the Wilkes and Neely families had put a lot of love, time and effort into creating a ceremony that would honor the Lord in every […]
Pictures from Grandfather Mountain
Just a few shots from our very adventurous trip to Grandfather Mountain. Thank you Uncle Tim and Aunt Melba for letting us stay at “the mountain house”! It was just the perfect spot for a family vacation.
Introducing: CAPTURE Photography Workshops!
The latest from Lenspiration! Everywhere I go, I’m always meeting new photographers! It’s so much fun to pass around tips, share stories, and simply learn from each other’s experiences. And the more photographers I meet, the more I realize how many of them are following the exact same path of learning and experience that I […]
A Lion in the Way
The verse that stood out to me on the morning that my brother Michael and I drove from Waxhaw to Marble for the North Carolina FEW Conference happened to be Proverbs 26:13: “The slothful man saith, ‘There is a lion in the way…’” In other words, instead of viewing obstacles as opportunities, a slothful person […]

The 2014 CEF Calendar has been designed, the majority of pictures for each month have been chosen, the text explaining these pictures has been written up and the plan is to send it off for the first round […]
The Beginning of a New Adventure
Last Wednesday, I traveled out to the Child Evangelism Fellowship International Headquarters in Warrenton, Missouri, to commence work on the 2014 CEF Calendar! It’s a new place with new faces, but I already feel like it’s the great beginning of a great project. I’ve been designing calendars for CEF for three consecutive years now, and […]
Continuing a Christmas Tradition . . .
. . . decorating Christmas cookies! For as long as I can remember, we’ve decorated sugar cookies (with as much detail as possible!) at Christmastime as a family. It’s loads of fun, and it never ceases to amaze me that the creativity of one year seems to always surpass the creativity of the year before!
A Week in Northwoods
What a remarkable week it has been! There’s nothing else quite like spending time in the Northwoods of Michigan seeking God with a group of other young men dedicated to serving the Lord. We are on our way back to Chicago today, and look forward to seeing how the Lord will take what we have […]
