Harvest Vineyard Photo Booth
Last Sunday Shannon asked me to run a Photo Booth for her church’s party. It wasn’t exactly what I imagined, so I way over prepared, but that is cool, because it ended up being easier than anticipated. Here are a few pictures from the day: It was a very impressive… Read More »Harvest Vineyard Photo Booth
Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #2 Gamma
It gets dark at like 4:30 now and I was incredibly tired last night. So I only have pictures of hanging up the first mural and not many: I wish I had pictures of the other murals to post, but you’ll have to trust me. They are really coming along.… Read More »Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #2 Gamma
Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #2 Beta
Mediacom. That is all I’m going to say for now. So these pictures actually started out with me just wanting to document a little bit of the Mural Project progress, but then a bunch of kids wanted to take pictures. Which made me nervous, but I let Jaxson, Wyatt, and… Read More »Old Salvation Army Building Wall Phase #2 Beta

Methodist Men NOT a Steak Fry – 2016
The 16th was The Event Formerly Known as the Methodist Men Steak Fry. I think it was an overall success. We served 51 smoked pork chops and 2 hot dogs. Our speaker was Jack Owens, the founder (more-or-less) of The Salt Company. It was good food and good company and… Read More »Methodist Men NOT a Steak Fry – 2016
I Stood in the Disenchanted Field
Last night was the annual Hayrack Ride for the Youth Group. Unfortunately, I brought the wrong lens and the wrong flash, but here are a few pictures from the evening. Although, I probably wouldn’t have taken many pictures any way. A flash in the dark isn’t the most popular thing… Read More »I Stood in the Disenchanted Field

Critter Sunday
One of the new things that our new pastor (Doug) brought to our church in an animal blessing ceremony. On Sunday, you could bring your pet to church or email a picture of your pet and the church blessed your pet. I took Naima to the service and she handled… Read More »Critter Sunday
Milwaukee Mission Trip Vol. 2
The remainder of my Mission Trip photos. Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of much of the remaining week. Jay painting the floor corner. Elizabeth and Megan painting the floor. On Tuesday, The Family House seemed to peter out of jobs for us to do. Late in the afternoon they brought… Read More »Milwaukee Mission Trip Vol. 2
Milwaukee Mission Trip Vol. 1
I thought I was going to write a really long breakdown of my trip to Milwaukee with my church’s youth group for Mission Work. Instead, I think I’ll settle for a description with each photo. Maybe I’ll be more ambitious with Volume 2. Halfway between Madison and Milwaukee, we found… Read More »Milwaukee Mission Trip Vol. 1
04-18-07
A picture of Karma, some flower pictures, and a Thomas Merton quote is what I found in the folder named 04-18-07. Looks like deer photos will be the feature in the next walk down my memory lane.

Last Sunday was Confirmation Sunday at the church. I wasn’t directly involved in the confirmation process, but my morning was filled with church activities.

Jesus Eggs!
On the Saturday before Easter I was sitting in a darkened in theater in Ankeny experiencing the “tortures of the damned” that is watching BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN, my phone buzzed. Since the movie picture had lost my interest moments into it, I felt no guilt in checking my text message.… Read More »Jesus Eggs!
Matthew 28:6
I took a couple of other images before picking my Easter image. Here are the other 2. One I actually sent out with Happy Easter text messages. In the end, I found the Jesus statue to be a bit confusing and the cross on top my church to be derivative… Read More »Matthew 28:6
