Gates.. gates.... and MORE gates...

"But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it." Matthew 7:14
I've always had a thing for gates... I would say it is mostly because of the scripture quoted above... there is something about them... they can let someone in or keep someone out... they can be made of many things. They can be simple or complex. You can lock them or keep them open... either way... there is just something... something about gates....

Stained Glass... old art... new inspiration.....

last fall I spent months working in the hill country... living at a little camp. Nestled among the camp is a beautiful and peaceful little chapel. Inside the walls, lit only by the afternoon sun, shaded by the trees... I found the following stained glass of saints.. the identities of the saints are important to some, but to me it is the art that is alive...
enjoy!!!

Midland Welcomes Home President George W. Bush....

Today was truly a day in history. A day when we Welcomed a new President into office... and for those of us who call Texas home... and especially WEST Texas, we welcomed home President Bush and Laura Bush. Today as Millions flocked to the "mall" in Washington DC... thousands converged on the city square in Midland.
It was a moment to stop and think. It was a moment to reflect. And mostly it was a moment to Thank a man who faithfully served our country...
I remember the first time I stood in that square... it was to see the same person... but that time it was to send him off to Washington DC right before he was sworn into the office of President...
It was a moment to reflect.. to think... and to listen...

Let Freedom Fly...

Texas Pride meets W Pride...


One young Texan contemplates what kind of man "W" is
(it was a GREAT conversation!!!)



The "Fly By" as they come in for landing

The Sea of "W" waves on and on...






Thank you!... Thank you for being a man of integrity... a man that has vision...who leans INTO The FATHER... and knows that man is not perfect. Thank you for 8 faithful years of service to our country... may your hope never be in the things we touch... but in the moments we are blessed to be a part of.
