Gustav and Hanna Looking for a Place to Land
These two storms look like they could really do some damage once they reach the U.S. coast. Right now both are predicted to reach hurricane status over the weekend and then hurricane Gustav looks like it will go to the Louisiana side and hurricane Hanna the Florida side. Sorry no photography posted other than the…

Tropical Storm Outlook Really Heats Up
Have you checked out the weather in the tropics lately. Wow, now there are 5 active areas of concern including Hurricane Gustav and now Tropical Storm Hanna. It had been very very quiet over the last few hurricane seasons and it looks like this year is turning out to be quite a bit busier.

A Mixed Up Kind of a Week and Gustav Coming
It has been a mixed up kind of week for us here. With the tropical storm Fay, and now Gustov on its way, we can see two more tropical disturbances also looking for a new home, so we headed down to the coast to check out our sailboat. We have been trying to sell our…

How does your blogging life look? Are you consistent, true, and purposeful when it comes to writing or participating with your blog (or put in another part of your life you take some value with)… no… me neither. I was thinking about this the other day when I really couldn’t find the words for a…

Tropical Storm Fay is a Welcome Arrival in Auburn
Taken during heavy gusts and rain out the back door of our house. Tropical Storm Fay made its way across our corner of Alabama yesterday and last night, bringing some great rain to a drought area. Tornado warning after warning came and went, but the most we got here is a good solid day of…

Try to Photograph From a Different Perspective
Last night I took some photos at Cornerstone’s quarterly meeting at called VIP night. It started off with the Cornerstone Band, which I have shot many times before (see music).

This the third and final part of my airport in a 50mm lens perspective (see ATL part 1 and DEN part 2), at least until I jump on another plane and end up at an airport other than ATL, DEN, and MIA. Miami was the most difficult out of the three to shoot. It was…

That is the basic question of this blog post. Why do we tend to separate the faith part of our lives and everything else? This doesn’t have to be real deep but I would suggest that there are some good reasons for doing so. If you don’t read any farther than this, just go to…
