Life is fragile.

Life is so fragile. My moms cousin passed away this morning very unexpectedly. She has four young children the youngest being only four. It's so hard to understand why this had to happen. And only God understands the big picture. Please keep the family in your prayers.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you and expected end. Jeremiah 29:11

:AUSTIN SENIOR:

I had the priveledge of taking Austin's senior pictures awhile back. It was freezing cold to say the least but we just pretended like it was the dead of summer instead and it worked! :)

Meet my 2nd cousin Austin Smoker: He loves to tease and is a total nut. He's a dedicated Christian and a good singer. Oh and he's also pretty good at playing his air trumpet . :)

My favorite one.. He's a natural to take pictures of.

"...that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Aahh finally it snowed! And who can resist taking pictures in the snow. We had a basketball tournament at school the day it snowed so i got Mary to go outside with me so i would have someone to take pictures of.

Then Tyler and Duane thought that they needed their pictures taken to.

My favorite picture of the whole day. I love the look of pure delight on her face!

It was like a winter wonder land.

I am so thankful for all of my friends both near and far! I have learned so much from each one of you, and I feel priviledged to call you my friend!!

Jesus said, "Greater love has no one this: to lay down one's life for his friends."
How willing are we to lay down our lives for our friends?
