Through the Lens of Faith

Standing alone. Standing proud. Sometimes it is easier to focus on one thing, than try to see the collective whole. There is indeed beauty in this one flower, but there is also beauty in the entire garden. When you look at a garden, do you see a single flower or do you just take it…

Have you ever experienced something that has shattered your faith? Something that makes you question everything you’ve believed? It can happen to anyone. I’ve had moments of questioning, but I’ve come to see how all of the pieces can still make a whole picture. I notice there are remnants of memories from years past, and…

The flag stands and waives in the breeze, for all to see. Flags represent a sense of freedom and a sense of identity. Nations have different colors, different stripes, even different stars. If you were to paint a flag to represent your faith and string up on a pole for all to see, what would…

In the midst of a concrete jungle there are trees and birds and all sorts of nature. I think it’s really important to see that nature. If anything to know…

Time, time, ticking …. If you were given only three hours to accomplish either a goal or a project or something else, how would that work out? Would you do it by yourself or would you gather around your trusted friends and companions to help you make the deadline? It amazes me how much you…

There are so many things in nature that serve to remind me how unique we are. This tree seems to have grown in a circle, whereas others stand straight as can be. Life seems to follow the path of this tree — it can seem like you are on a straight path, then the road…
