Come sit with me.
.
Let's reflect on the priceless gift of freedom. The freedom to love one another unconditionally, to foresake ourselves for the sake of others, to stand firm on truth and to point to the Light.

Come, be cozy with me.

Let's rest after this long week. Here's to hoping your pillows smell as good as a long, summer's nap.

And tell me how you feel. There is a very real place inside of you that nobody but the Heavenly Father understands. And sometimes, it doesn't even feel like HE gets you. But, it's important to talk about what's inside so that healing can begin.

Welcome to my family.

This image makes me chuckle. As a photographer, I know something's wrong with it. If you look closely, we (everyone in the image) is out of focus. The house behind us, the historic George D. Dayton house in Worthington, MN, IS in focus. This photo actually
