A FEW FAMILY SHOTS











These are our latest family shots. These were quickly done on a tripod at my oldest sisters house. Lord willing we will get some more thought out time consuming pictures, but until then enjoy these shots of my beautiful girls.

ZION



































































To see Zion with your natural eye is simply amazing. A person could spend months hiking, camping and soaking in all of the hidden jewels of Zion. We took a couple of hours and with just hitting the tip of the iceburg, I am taken back at the Mind of God. If He can create this and capture the heart and soul of a man, I am excited to think of what He has in store for His children. All of nature testifies of The Lord Jesus Christ, but Zion is especially a grand witness of His Majesty. Enjoy these few pictures, but if you have the chance go and see it for yourself, words, (nor my pictures) can describe Zion. One more thing, if you go to Zion, even if you don't claim to be a photographer, TAKE YOUR CAMERA!!!

Poor Jordan :(


The brother-in-laws rejected him for taking their sister, and the girls didn't want him imposing on their photo. Poor fellow, won't anybody show him that they love him? It's ok Jordan, I'm sure when Strayer family picture time comes around you will shine like a star!

Buchanan Family at Oak Creek

Brian and Debbi Buchanan. Debbi is my oldest sister and I grew up with their children ( my nephews and niece ) as my best friends and playmates, so it was a real joy and pleasure to take their family pictures in such a beautiful setting. Despite what Debbi thinks she and Brian take a beautiful husband and wife picture. I want to thank The Lord Jesus for watching over and keeping the Buchanan family through all these years. They have been through a lot and we are still looking forward to the finished work that Jesus Christ has in His perfect plan. Praise The Lord for His children and His lovely creation of nature, both make for beautiful pictures.

South Carolina Family Trip














































































































































































































































































These are the pictures from our latest trip to South Carolina. Some of these were actually from Georgia and some from the zoo in S.C.. The landscape is so different back east, everything is so green and soft, and as we've been taught the environment matches the people so many times. You can't help but love the southern hospitality, I know I sure do. We had such a good time and it was such a blessing to get the entire family together and fellowship around The Word of God. I married into the best family a man could want. There is such unity amongst us all and it is only by God's Grace. These pictures show beautiful faces and beautiful surroundings but they can't show the real beauty of the life of The Lord Jesus in our lives. I am thankful that we were able to not only see It but be around It and part of It. I'm so glad I serve a God of variety. Thanks Sarah for the suggestion of a title on the blogs.
