Jesus Christ is the Great Healer
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we do not have a priest/preacher/pastor that gives a sermon every week. Each week 2-3 different members of each ward are asked to speak on a topic that is selected by our Bishopric- the three men who lead our ward. We’re given guidelines as to how long our Talk should be, as well as direction in selecting appropriate source material. And, generally, each member can expect to be asked to speak every year or so.
The Rock of My Testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ
When I was in High School, we had something called block scheduling; we had the same four classes every day for the first semester, and a different four classes every day for the second semester, for a total of eight classes- or credits- a year. But, as a band student, I was able to earn an extra half credit per semester by participating in Jazz band. So, by the time I was a Senior, I had enough credits to graduate early- halfway through the school year. My high school was overcrowded, and I didn’t want to be there, so they let me finish early, saying, “We’ll see you in May at Graduation!”
Christmas and My Testament of Jesus Christ
Christmastime is- and has always been- a magical time of year for me. I love living in a small town that still decorates the streetlights for Christmas, as well as sponsors an annual twinkle light parade. Oh, and then there is the town-sponsored business decorating contest! And, almost every single year (there was that one year when I was pregnant with Andrew, but we won’t go there), we put up our own Christmas tree covered with Hallmark and assorted homemade ornaments.
I'm a Latter-Day Saint
When I do blog, Thursdays are the day of the week I usually reserve to write about whatever I feel like. I do this so that it forces me to let you get to know me a little bit better. However, there is a part of myself that I haven’t shared with y’all up to this point, most because I was scared. I don’t want to alienate anyone, because I want this community to be a safe space for all of us. But, with my faith continuing to grow, and my circle of close friends changing, I know I need to share this part of my life with y’all as well.
Why I Love Photography
It occurred to me this last week that I never explained why I love photography- and that I should probably share that with you.
Welcome!
I am so excited to be starting my photography business. I never thought that I would end up here. Owning a business is always one of those things that a lot of people dream of when they’re young, but only a select few actually make it happen. I have to admit, I dreamed about owning my own business- for about half a second. I never thought that it was something that I’d actually want, or be able to do. But, here I am!
