The Lord’s Army Reserve

I once had the choice to be a full-time soldier, or live my life and be a soldier too. I chose… wisely. That choice has shaped my life, mostly for the better. However, when I look at how that same choice could be overlaid on my life as a Christian, maybe being a Reservist isn’t…

Lunch Bag Art
in Blog-
I’m not sure when it started. At some point, I began drawing things on my kids lunch bags when they had to take a sack lunch to school. It was typically only once or twice a year. They normally use an insulated, soft lunch box. During the Christmas program practice, or the occasional field trip…

As tends to happen from time to time, my son put off a school project until much later than he should have. So instead of spending a week or two making a ship for school, we did it in a weekend. I think there could have been so many more fun details, but we certainly…

A Day of Grateful

In this week leading toward Thanksgiving 2019, I find myself incredibly grateful. I would love to think that I’m always grateful, but I’m not. The truth is far less beautiful I’m afraid. I’m often too mired in my own daily schedule and desires to be mindful of the many people and things in my life…

Beach Camping on Arrowrock
We camped on the beach at Arrowrock Reservoir on Friday night. If you were in or around Boise on Friday night, you know the weather was… CRAZY. There were some moments we were watching the lightning and hoping the tent would stay staked in, but it didn’t rain too hard. While the wind wasn’t much…

I’ve used Canon cameras since 1996 when I picked up a Canon AE-1 at a second-hand store. When I got into digital, it’s been all Canon. The need has come to invest more in video in my side business, and Canon video just hasn’t been cutting it for me. I finally pulled the trigger and…
