CategoryPhoto Every Day 2023

Today’s favorite photo of 2022 is a picture I took on Elijah’s twelfth birthday. His grandfather, my dad, handed down a .22 rifle that he bought with his own money when he was Elijah’s age. 

Life doesn’t have to be perfect. The wind will come and mess things up… but just keep making your way towards your destination. Do it with with people who love you. And don’t be afraid to stop and hug along the way.

Today’s favorite photo of 2022 is a photo that I snapped of my bride on my iPhone while we were out on a run in Pigeon Forge, TN. We saw an amazing mural of a butterfly and I coaxed her to pose in front of it.

Last year I was invited to lead worship at the Gospel Advancing Ministry Summit in Golden, CO. It was an absolutely amazing event. I am so excited to be a part of it again this year.

I think I must be getting old. One of my favorite things to do these days is notice a bird in my backyard and take a moment to enjoy God’s incredible creation, and then snap a photo.

I am incredibly blessed to have an amazing family. God is good! He is far better to me than I deserve. But that is nowhere near the end of my blessings. I am also incredibly blessed to have awesome friends.

I will never forget that feeling of first holding her in my arms when she was a newborn baby. I had no concept of what it was like to be a father-no way of truly understanding the unconditional love that a father has for his children-until that moment.

As a father of five children (currently age 7 to 16) who tends to travel often, I have found that spending quality time with each child is sometimes more realistic than spending quantity time with each one.

God is good! One of the amazing things that the good LORD did for us is that He gave us tastebuds. Isn’t that amazing?!

As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:12)

I snapped this photo with my iPhone on the day after my 41st birthday while running a marathon in my 11th state. It was a cold, wet, muddy, miserable day. I loved it.

As I look back on 2022, I can’t help but be amazed by the goodness of God. Words would fail to adequately communicate how thankful I am for how God has moved in and through my life…
