Both mom and son are doing well. Dad has a slightly bruised hand from mom squeezing hard.. just in case anyone cares about him…..
more to come
At 36 weeks.. how many to go?
Naomi at 36 weeks. The original due date was November 6, but every time we have gone for an ultrasound the technicians have told us that we are further ahead than that. At Naomi’s last doctor’s appointment the doctor suggested that the baby could come soon.
So.. any day now…..
Every portrait tells a story
Great portraits tell a story about the subject. [not suggesting these are great portraits..]
This photo could suggest “civil unrest” as two rough and ready rioters prepare to throw stones at an authority figure (me!), or maybe just “out for a walk”.
This may invoke the idea of “innocence”. But anyone who really knows a three year old knows better.
The story here could be, “sisterhood is great”, “good friends”, or “perfect kids”. Yeah, that’s nice.
The story here could be… “the truth”.

The relatively small power of storms
Storms. Raw power. Beautiful. Potentially destructive. Scary.
Despite the awe inspiring power of a summer storm, they are as nothing to the power of the Creator of the whole universe.
I know that the LORD is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
The LORD does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.
He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
Psalm 135:5-7
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
Genesis 9:12-16
His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory.
Psalm 97:4-6
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown…
