    Week 7: Happy Valentine’s Day!

      Week 7: Love Nikon D7500 | 55mm | f/5.6 | 1/125 | ISO 220 Edited with Picmonkey 2018 saw the introduction of a new 52 week photography project, which has me totally excited. This year I want to really step out creatively and learn/practice new skills. I’d also really like to do more than just make photos of my morning coffee, although I do enjoy that. Instead of sharing a few things that made me happy this week, I want to share something that makes me happy every day: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall…

    Coffee Talk: A Question of Salvation

    I’d like to welcome you to Coffee Talk. If you’re new here, this is where I share some of the great and not~so~great stuff that I find on the web.

I saw his number on my…

    Go and Speak without Fear

    God does not send us out unequipped. He prepares us and protects us {that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, that just means that The Word will be heard}, so we need to surrender our hearts and our lives to Him. No excuses.

    In Defense of My Faith

    A few years ago, I wrote a post about religious civility and the lack of respect that some people show towards people of faith, specifically towards Christians. The post was a reaction to some of the things that a few of my friends and acquaintances had posted over Easter weekend. I honestly hadn’t planned to address the issue again but after seeing the same recycled “jokes” this past weekend, I realized two things: The Bible says if I deny Jesus here on earth, He’ll deny me in Heaven {Matthew 10:33} The comments and jokes are hurtful and rude, and instead of letting it fester, I need to get it out…
