I would like to take this time to wish everybody a Happy Easter with this picture: I hope all of you had as wonderful of an Easter weekend as I did. Christ is risen. Let us rejoice!
A few pictures from the 2016 Youth Group Retreat taken with the point and shoot and a couple taken with the real camera. But like I said earlier… this won’t be the last time you hear about this group of kids.
As I’ve posted about before, I spent my weekend (a few weekends back) with my church’s youth group on their annual retreat to the Y Camp. Here are some pictures I took with a cruddy camera phone of the weekend. Jentry being oh so scary. Docking Time! Shawn, enjoying the… Read More »Docking Station Alpha
I took this picture from the back deck of the lodge where we spent a plurality of our time during the 2016 Youth Group Retreat. I took this picture after we had set up the prayer stations and while we were waiting for the kids to return from their outdoor… Read More »Glass Packs
I told you would be hearing more about my weekend with the Youth Group. There might even small bits of solicitation coming your way. (Hint! Hint!)

I found this barn and its hopeful message along I70 (or as a Kansan might say 70 Interstate) on my recent trip to visit Nate and Laura. I vowed to stop and take a picture of it on my way home. Mission accomplished. While this saying has graced many a… Read More »John 14:27
As I look over this collection I am reminded that it has been too long since I’ve done some full moon photography, like the photo represented by April. Who wants to keep me company and go do some full moon photography next full moon? January February March April May June… Read More »2011
The 2010 calendar was the last calendar that included a human subject. As I open up the subject matter past flowers for the 2017 calendar, it is possible a human subject might find their way back into the calendar. Until then Jill and Sara are the last humans to grace… Read More »2010

WHAT FOLLOWS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHY 139 SHAMELESS MISSIONARY DIVISION… As many of you may or not know, for the last several years I have helped chaperon my church’s Youth Group’s Mission Trip.

There were a few other RELIGION pictures I took the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE that didn’t make the cut. Thought I’d share a few of those. I don’t know if there will be quite so many losers next week.
I knew this week’s submissions would be a little light with the combination of the theme and the holiday. However, participation didn’t take too much of a hit. Hopefully it will rebound next week. That theme is pretty easy, but does require a bit of effort. This week’s submissions: Kim… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 11 – RELIGION
On the Monday before Halloween the Eastern Star Home’s residents hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. My Mom helps coordinate volunteers from our church to help the residents that need it.

We recently held an auction at the Computer Mine. The one thing in the auction that I really coveted was a blue Canon A4000 IS. I’m not a Canon guy at all. However, I’ve been sans point and shoot for a couple years now and there are times (like mission… Read More »New Toy
Sunday was my church’s annual block party to kickoff Sunday School. Once again, I manned the PET Obstacle course. Only this year it was more like a PET Area, with a couple of chairs thrown out there. There were way more people there this year, so it was more than… Read More »PET
Probably past time I posted some pictures from the mission trip to South Dakota. In reality I could tell a thousand stories about this trip and write a page about each picture, but I’ll hold back and be satisfied with a brief description of each picture. If you want to… Read More »South Dakota
Although I haven’t touched the real camera lately, I have sorta documented some stuff with my cruddy camera on my phone. Thought I would post some of those from the last few months. Remember, these are taken with a cruddy camera phone. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve already… Read More »Phonetos – Vol. 1
Bags at the Boone FUMC Block Party. I think this might have been the last year for the PET Obstacle Course. I guess I’ll wait and see.
