Then there are days that blindside us with their blackness. The days that sear themselves onto our souls & usher in a period of darkness so bleak and overwhelming that we begin to question whether the sun can rise tomorrow.

But rise it does. The sun has continued to rise for a year now. Despite the darkness that threatened to quiet my soul forever, the Light kept shining. Summer came, Autumn followed, the cold weather found us, the holidays were celebrated, an old year was cast aside, a new year began, Spring broke us free from the cold & here we are again. Through it all it was the Light that shone that made each step forward a possibility.

Because I am thankful for where I am today, I remember. Because I know I’ll never forget, I live. Because I want to say thank you, I write.

To those who supported, stepped in, stood beside, prayed, counseled, loved, shared, grieved, fought, prayed some more, I cannot adequately express my thanks. Words fail.

While there are still dim days, still much uphill ahead we made it through the first year. The darkness is much less heavy now. We would never have seen this day without you. Many people say that nonchalantly but it is absolutely true for us. The meaning of Church, of The Body has become personal, intimate & real to us in the past year because of each of you.

Our church‘s Easter service was entitled Life in the Aftermath & when I sat down to begin this post I knew immediately that would be the title. This is our life in the aftermath of sin, in a broken world, searching for & depending on the Light.

Galatians 5:1 – For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Happy Saturday Y’all. Enjoy Easter weekend!

Happy Tuesday Y’all! Toodles!

Happy Monday Y’all! Toodles!

The weather was miserable but the competition was not. The Garage put together an outstanding event which was as much fun to shoot as any I’ve done.

The images are being posted regularly on my Facebook page, however if you’d like to purchase please feel free to shoot me an email or FB message & I can certainly make that available.

Thanks again to The Garage staff (especially the Cannata’s for hosting me) for a great event.

Next up in the world of Crossfit photography for me is the Open at my home gym Crossfit Murfreesboro. As per CFM tradition we’ll be doing the Open WOD each Friday evening, Sat morning & Sunday at 2. You can catch me at some or all of those photographing my favorite CF-ers attacking each & every WOD.

Following the Open I’ll be joining Crossfit Talon for the Easter Throwdown on April 7th. I’d encourage any and all competitive crossfitters to jump on this throwdown, its a short drive from anywhere in the middle TN area, its cheap & its guaranteed to be a great time! You can check out  more details about the event here. Hope to see you there!

Happy Sunday Y’all. Toodles!
