An Asbury Seminary Getaway and Agerton Family Photos
A good friend of mine, Josh Agerton, left early this week for a spiritual getaway with some of his friends from up in Kentucky at Asbury (see Getting Away) and I though I would try and make him a little homesick. These were from a shoot several weeks ago that I finally got around to…

Dueling Church Signs and Dogs Going to Heaven
I rarely ever post an image on this blog that is not mine, but in this case I had to make an exception. Some nice person thought I needed a laugh today and sent this set of church signs over to me. I can’t even begin to address the issues involved here and just had…
