Autumn Joy


This is my nephew, Hayden. I took these pictures just 3 days after we laid his grandfather Johnny to rest. What still amazes me is the pure joy that can come from a roll in the leaves. Of course, Hayden isn't old enough to know of the loss and pain but still he lives in the moment regardless of the circumstances. For a few brief moments there was no sorrow only leaves to run through and his aunt to chase. This was a week filled with the unexpected: sorrow wrapped in joy.

I know whom I have believed

“God is not a belief to which you give your assent. God becomes a reality whom you know intimately, meet everyday, one whose strength becomes your strength, whose love, your love. Live this life of the presence of God long enough and when someone asks you, “Do you believe there is a God?” you may find yourself answering, “No, I do not believe there is a God. I know there is a God.”~Ernest Boyer, Jr.
