Through the Lens of Faith

It seems that sometimes in life there are many stepping stones that happen to be so close to each other it feels like a seamless stream of knowing where you are going. Other times it feels like the gap between those stepping stones are so spread out you will fall in between. What do you do…

  Looking at this photograph, I am amazed at the numbers of lines and impressions that are struck upon this log. I saw this while on a trip and thought it would almost look like one of those global maps that you see (if this was surrounded by blue and green, of course). If we…

  Sometimes it feels like everything in life is upsdie down, especially when things happen to knock you off your feet. But stopping to reflect on the situations which rock my world, I find myself searching for that which sustained me before. When my faith is at a point of struggle, and it was something…

I love this signpost. It is found in downtown Portland, Oregon. I love seeing how far things are from one another and how things are related to each other in some way. I laugh at this signpost because the multiple directions of each destination reminds me of how I feel at times — not knowing…

This animal sure has ambition. It can reach high into the sky. Being naturally short, I find I can get a little jealous of his view 🙂 But seeing an animal like this can also give one a new perspective — the fact that sometimes we really need to find a different view of things.…

I’ve often heard the phrase of being on thin ice. This photo makes me laugh because the ice is so thin you could swim in the water. Or be eaten by whatever gross goop is in this water. Being one who has no traction when it comes to walking on ice, this “thin ice” seems…

It has been the season of graduations and celebrations of all kinds. It is a time to rejoice in the achievements made throughout the year. Yet it is sometimes easy to forget the people behind the achievements, the ones who counseled the students through tough exams, personal struggles and gave them confidence to keep pursuing…
