Photography at Southern Museum of Flight
I finally made it over to the Southern Museum of Flight. I have lived, worked, and traveled around Birmingham for the better part of my life, but had never been over to this particular museum, even when I worked at the Birmingham Airport. On Saturday I had some uncommitted time in Birmingham and I decided…

Post Process of Smelling the Roses
I finally had a chance to get out and “smell the roses” as they say. I’ve found it to be harder and harder over the years to just slow down and spend an hour or two walking through the property, there always seems to be something pressing that needs attention, and that is not my…

That On Again Romance with Photography
One of the first pictures created was said to have been taken in 1838 by Louis Daguerre, which shows Boulevard du Temple, in Paris. Susan Sontag in her classic 1977 criticism On Photography said “to collect photographs is to collect the world,” and as a photographer I often ask myself, hasn’t the entire world been…

Senseless Act of Poetry
As the Newtown “anniversary” approaches I came back to this poem I wrote on the day of that tragedy. It seems our world is confronted with the realities of these shootings almost every day now. The likes of Newtown, Roseburg, or just this week the San Bernardino shootings, are all too frequent. For most part,…

Sunrise
thick wet blanket covers darkness turned to blood rising poured out and empty the reference to the last verse comes from Isaiah 53, the firs two verses come from the image I took this morning of the sunrise.

Hot Walk Around
It was so hot today that every time I went outside I felt like I was going to just pass out. The humidity has been so super high this summer that it just feels suffocating. I decided before dinner I was going to get off my butt and go for a walk, and I made…

Stop for Spotting at ATL
The Atlanta airport is so close to where we had lunch today, and directly on the way home that I decided to stop for a bit to see if I could do a little spotting. It was super hot on the upper deck and parking is an absolute nightmare. I didn’t realize until after I…

All i Want For My Birthday is an Iron Bowl Win
All i want for my birthday is an #IronBowl win. A reminder of a day that we can re-live again. All i want for my birthday is an #IronBowl win. A play, oh what an hour that once Gary gave spin. All i want for my birthday is an #IronBowl win. A “there goes Davis…”…

Five Reasons The Behemoth is Art and Poetry in Theological Prose
You may not understand The Behemoth’s orthodoxy because you are viewing art and poetry, not a theological exegesis or apologetic argument. I have not been all that excited about any particular faith-based magazine publication in a long time. Even so, I do read many of the most popular ones in some form or another. I…

Reasons To Write or Not to Write
So this is the typical blog away from blog post that seems to grace the pages of almost every blog I have ever read. For the first time in the 10-15 years I have been writing on my blog, I took a year off. Though I did stop writing here for a while, I never…

Christian Musings on Doubt on a Quiet Saturday Morning
While I watched the sun come up over the trees today I started my Saturday with a cup of coffee and the newspaper, i.e. a read through Facebook and Twitter. This is something I haven’t done much lately for various reasons, but today I came across this article from @BuzzFeed via @jessmisener who wrote about…

What a Beautiful Game
Being a baseball fan in the biggest football powerhouse town Imagine if any other collegiate sport played 35 home games, 56 regular season games? Or if any other major professional sports league played 162 regular season games, decided not to keep time on the field, and the person with the ball never scored? Baseball is…

A Great Journal Introduction by Jim Elliot
I have been writing in some form of journal for the better part of 20-25 years now off and on, sometimes with purpose, sometimes with without any at all. Some things inspire more than others. Lately, thanks to the people over at Bloom with the Day One App, they have inspired my digital journal into…

Learning to Seek First the Kingdom Everywhere
I’ve been living in this phrase, “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,” found in various places in scripture, trying to determine it’s sway and meaning for me personally. Ever since I wrote this post about my idea of what 2013 would look like, I’ve been asking myself the question, how… and where? It’s…
