Treat people with kindness. You never know what someone is going through and your kindness could change their day or save a life.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

The Bible was written on three continents:

Asia
Africa
Europe

In multiple languages:

Hebrew
Aramaic
Greek

Through more than 40 human authors:

Prophets
Kings
Shepherds
Fishermen
A physician

And yet, from Genesis to Revelation, it tells one unified story:

The Redemption of Mankind through Jesus Christ

Scripture is breathtaking.

For the 110th time, the journey to the Indianapolis 500 begins today. Every lap means something as what’s learned this week may be the difference between racing immortality or a “decent points day”. Let’s be honest though as this is the big one, this is the one race drivers imagine winning from the first time they held a wheel. A decent points day in a top 10, isn’t enough. Only one driver gets there face on the Borg Warner and only one driver gets the best glass of milk imaginable. The story of the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 starts getting written today. Welcome to Indy. Welcome to May. It’s time!

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet.

The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation
with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy.

There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one.

That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure.

America has become so accustomed to seeing “self-proclaimed Christians” live out a false watered-down version of the faith…

that when real Christians actually take the Bible seriously and live with genuine conviction…

it seems too extreme.

Unbelievable! The legendary cherry tree cut down by young George Washington has regenerated on the Washington Monument grounds and is patriotically blooming red, white & blue blossoms, possibly sensing our approach towards the 250th anniversary of American independence in July.

Today, on National Vietnam War Veterans Day, we honor the strength, service, and sacrifice of Vietnam veterans and their families.

Their stories are etched into the landscapes we protect, places of memory, reflection, and healing.

You were not created to believe in yourself. You were created to believe in Someone bigger than yourself.

His name is Jesus.
