This is my first update on the site since 2021. Time has gone by quickly. My wife and I have a senior and a sophmore in high school now. I've been at a furniture company studio in LA for the past 8 years and business is doing really well. I was even able to travel to Vietnam recently to set up a photo studio near our factories. But, back to the site...

I debated over the last 5 years whether or not I should keep paying a monthly fee to keep it when I wasn't putting up any new content. I think that God has been quietly telling me to keep it and has been trying to get me to update. I aplolgize for anyone who has come back more than once to see that nothing has changed. I have some new sessions to post from all the Pool Party Practice. A lot of the images I have posted to my Instgram, but some you can only see here. God bless all those who are here. If you see me out there in the wild, say, Hi. If you need prayer for anything, let me know.

And we keep on going Click here to view.

I think for most unbelievers, miracles of the bible are foolishness. If someone doesn't believe in a God who created the earth, how can they believe He can part a sea, or raise the dead? Monumental miracles such as the plagues of Egypt may have been common in the days of Moses, but today we don't see those types of events. Today, the small personal stories of God's grace that have no explanation are what we have. Some stories, even though inexplicable, most non-believers will still be skeptical. Even if it happens to them, they are sure there has to be some explanation. For other non-believers, it can change their whole world.

Miracle stories are all around us, we just don't hear about them often. Here is an article from Reader's Digest I came across.

A Father Who Loves the Mother

The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. If you are going to be a godly dad, you need to forsake all others with heart and mind and soul and love your wife. We are to love our wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for us.

It is in loving each other that parents create a stable and good home. Besides loving his wife in order to be a good father, a man must commit to be there for his children.

It is really very easy to become a father, but it is very difficult to be a godly father in the home. You must, first of all, be a godly man. Second, you must—very obviously, but today, importantly—be in the home, because if there is one place where tens of millions of American fathers are not present today, it is in the home. Eighty percent of all of the families in the inner city are fatherless. Eighty percent!

Without fathers in the home, children will lack the emotional center a father provides, crime will go up as will all the troubles that lack of guidance and fathering bring upon a family.

There have been times when I struggle to be the husband my wife deserves. We have been through some tough times in our 15 years of marriage. With prayer and communication, we have come out of some rough times. Being a father of two daughters, it is my job to show my daughters how a man is supposed to treat a woman. I don't want them to grow up and be attracted to men who treat them badly and for them think that's how they are supposed to be treated. That is not what love is. Love is unconditional. Love never fails. Love always wins.

The Bible Project is such an amazing resource to understanding different books of the bible. Right now, the project covers every book through Hebrews. I was turned onto this from a friend at work, and I'm so glad that he shared. The production on the videos is outstanding. It is also a great way to have devotion time with your kids. I have not watched all the videos, but I would recommend watching them once through before watching with the little ones.

This project is crowd source funded, so take a look and donate if you're able.
