Day 1104 – An Amazing Marriage

I have been waiting to post about this since Sunday!

Ok…my church has been having testimonies every Sunday before the message…this Sunday was from a couple I have long admired. I was moved to tears more than once. I will not be able to even give a glimmer of the awesomeness that was shared, so take a peek!

But first, here’s a picture of Mark and Carol Turek…

And Jimmy wanted a picture too.

Enjoy a beautiful example of marriage.

Day 1101 – Great Sermon on Humility at Sovereign Grace Church

I heard a GREAT sermon in church yesterday! It was on 1 Peter 5:6–5:14 and the main focus was on humility.

Here are a few of my take aways:

If you’re not listening fully to someone when they’re speaking to you, you’re being prideful…i.e. what YOU are thinking is better than what the other person is thinking.

Humility is about seeing others as more important than ourselves.

It is also an accurate view of ourselves.

To humble ourselves, we need to remind ourselves of the gospel every day.

But, the whole sermon was better than my little take aways. Thanks for sharing Jimmy!!

Day 1086 – Honoring An Awesome Family in My Church

A year or two (maybe more or less, I’m really bad at judging time spans) a new family started coming to our church. I’ve chatted with them a few times, mostly the parents, but really took A LOT more notice of them the past few months. As I’ve been photographing special events at my church, I see certain individuals again and again. The Lewis family is one of the most regular. I think every one of them has taken part between a dance number at the Mother Daughter Tea, Sisters singing at the Easter service to a number of their kids serving and attending Summer Blast.

I wanted to honor what a beautiful legacy these two amazing parents have created. They are such a joyful family too!! You can’t help but smile and laugh when you’re around them!

And a special shout out to my test dummies! 🙂 I don’t know how much they actually “enjoy” it…

Day 1079 – Potlucks Are My Favorite!!

Today was the last day of my “marathon church photography week.” I realized I was up at church EVERY day from Sunday through Sunday this past week….and photographing all but Saturday.

Today at church we had a potluck! It was so much fun to just sit back, relax and chat with my fellow church members. I truly love my church.

Here’s a shot of some of the food. There were two sets of about 4 tables. LOTS of food. But you know me, had to photograph what I brought!

(mine is the veggie tray! I also took hummus and I think it was some of the best hummus I’ve ever made….if I do say so myself!)
