I set about to the long but wonderful task of summarizing Jessica’s and my whirlwind relationship. I spent a better part of a lunch hour typing it up. One thirty rolls around, I pick up the laptop to go back inside… and let me ask this – Who puts the battery release switch on the... Read More

Fox Hill Campgrounds, Austerlitz, NY Got up early in the morning and hunted around for a shot and was blown away by this beauty of an accident. I thought it was going to be to dark for a shot, but the sunbeam in the center really lit up the picture. The rich greens, yellows and... Read More

This is one of the most beautiful spots in Chatham, NY. Right behind me is one of the oldest stone bridges in the area. I only edited the road and grass just a bit… added some saturation and did my notorious blur/equalize. Didn’t touch the sky though.

Jess and I went to the quarry near her house and leapt off the fifty foot dirt piles. Mama Clum caught this great shot of me taking the plunge. We ended up caked with dirt and mud under the fingernails, but no worse for the wear. The hands and the dirt really make this photo,... Read More

This just happened to be one of those lucky moments where you’re walking along and you spy a great shot. So I grabbed the digital and snapped this one. What caught my eye was the shiny wallpaper. It creates a cross-like effect with the light and the rich red floor really seems to compliment the... Read More

I have not cried in months. What I cannot understand about us is that we see childhood as a pitiful moment that will dry up and blow away not a moment too soon. When heaven is so full of innocence, our children are yearning, reaching, scheming for an adulthood wracked with guilt and pain. To... Read More

Jessica and I went with about fifteen other people from Grace Bible Fellowship in Redhook, NY to evangelize to a migrant camp of about fifty Spanish workers at a nearby farm. Before hand we prayed for our trip and were a trifle apprehensive because no one had a solid plan. The idea was simply to... Read More

Freewrite (2 Minutes, Nonstop Typing) – The Engagement
“For heavens sakes!” he shouted until his voice was hoarse and he couldn’t say anything else. Looking around at all of the people in the mall, he wondered if perhaps he should have waited until he was in the basement again before shouting out like this, but on second thought… what good would screaming in...

Going to watch The Day After Tomorrow and expecting to be educated is like going to Disney World for a lesson in Advanced English Grammar. You don’t go there to engage your brain. You go to have a good time. And it was, in theory, a good time; despite the fact my disbelief was suspended... Read More

Chapter 2: Geraniums and Such “I was given charge of your well-being, and your interests are best served in my care.” Or so it was proclaimed and thereby believed that Lady Elna spoke for me. She had taken the liberty of talking to the judge about the whole thing; ultimately I was glad because I... Read More

This is a test. Of what I’m not sure. I logged in and now here sit, facing what some people dread – a blank page. The fear might be like what someone once said to me about children; its frightening, because think of how much you can mess up. I suppose all of this white... Read More

Beauty Fountainhead of Zeal, passion and spirit, Touching both the hand and the heart- Woman

Iron, angry sky Frantic, fuming thunderhead Far flung drops of night. Crystal in the air Sweeps across vanilla fields To join the others.

I saw The Passion of The Christ tonight, and I am very tired. I will only write a little, because I need to let it sink in. I suppose everyones reaction will be different. I went with my parents and they were fairly straight-faced. My brother and sister-in-law were somber and my sister was amazed.... Read More

The Culprit of the Passion of the Christ
Much hoopla has been made over Mel Gibson’s cinematic account of the last twelve hours of Christ’s life. Some say that it is a brutal feast of gore; others call it a controversy-induced money-maker. But the most vitriolic of these labels is as old as the gospels themselves: anti-Semitic. The Boston Globe, in an attempt... Read More
