GREETING
The church is not a building built by human hands. The church is a body of believers. The church is literally THE BODY OF CHRIST. Not a body you dress ,
with clothes but a body in the sense that it (like Jesus) carries out THE WILL OF THE FATHER. Once we repent and trust THE SAVIOR by turning our back on our old sinful lifestyle and wholeheartedly turning toward G O D with humility and thankfulness, we are Born Again, THE HOLY SPIRIT takes up residence in us and we receive a new heart with new desires. We become ambassadors for
CHRIST, vessels for THE HOLY SPIRIT and we carry out THE WILL OF THE FATHER. We are changed from children of wrath into children of
G O D.

Photography has been my life's work. I'm proud to say that! It has given me opportunities to do and see things I never could have imagined. The preponderence of my work is industrial photography. Later in life as a missionary
I documented vital work of The World Radio Missionary Fellowship and various
facets of the mission. I have always been drawn to nature photography.
Growing up in rural New York State, Fall color always drove me outside to
try and caprture the awesome beauty of Natures color palette!
In these poor words, I hope I have been able to convey how much G O D
must play such an important part in ones life. HE, moves, molds, directs, guides,
tests, comforts, blesses, encourages, chastises, protects, nurtures, gives us knowledge, but best of all,
HE SAVES!...

Be strong in Jesus Christ
and HE will see you through.
Be humble to His Words for it is true.

Poetry is best when Christ inspired. There is no other better guide.
" We know that the G O D who sent us is watching us."
May each poem be " like a sweet perfume"
as was " The Good News of Christ by His Servants of Old."
" It is not written with pen and ink, but with
The Spirit of The Living G O D, not carved on stone, but on human hearts."

A SHORT JOURNEY
Christ came to dwell on earth one day,
although He did'nt come to stay.
He spent only thirty three years,
walking this earth - 'A vale of tears'.
His heart cried out for you and me,
for He was God in human form, you see.
He even knew us before we were born,
yet day after day, He endured great scorn.
Men turned away and denied Him as Lord,
'tho He offered salvation they could not afford.
He gave Himself freely...He paid The Price,
on a cruel cross - our sacrifice.
He is on The Right Hand of God, His Father, above,
waiting for you to accept His great love.
Heaven will rejoice when you, "Yes."
Transformed completely, your life He will bless.

Designed by God, documented by men.
Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace
was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matthew 2819-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you:
and lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.
Amen.
THE SEED
Born into sin we all must die.
Until darkness is swallowed by Light.
Not until then does living begin,
the day overthrows the night.
The seed now planted seemingly gone,
this death is merely sleep.
Things unseen are the greatest of all,
with roots growing deep.
Planted near the river of life,
the seed becomes a tree.
Full grown from The Son's Light and Reign,
fruit abounds plentifully.
The creature defiles creation,
the Creator allows the fall.
Seperated by our sin,
restored when we answer the call.

THE PETALS OF MANY HEARTS
is a vessel of the love of
G O D
that HE wraps within each beautiful mind,
to shower their fullness of joy that gives and builds.
In a lifetime that leads and serves.
