Def Leppard-Photograph

Several months ago my bride started a photography business. She definitely has an eye for it. She recently took pictures of my son after he turned 9 years old. Looking at those pics, it's hard to believe "The Bear" is 9. Initially, I didn't think he was gonna make it. All colicky and junk. Plus, he was born at a stressful time in our lives. A new baby, loss of job, an impending move, and a new business. He definitely fed off of our stress. He barely slept until he was 2. Amazingly, now he is our best sleeper. I love this kid. He has an amazing heart. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for him. Go to www. abundantlifeimages.com to see more.

Lecrae-Background

I hired a consultant a few years back. I figure it ended up costing me about 90 thousand dollars. The particular "plan" he created for me didn't exactly work. However... A smart man told me once to "Eat the meat and spit out the bones". I can't say that I didn't learn anything. He once said that one of the biggest problems is that we get in our own way. We get in our own way. Is it pride? Is it the thought that we have all the answers? I realized that I've got nuthin'. Yeah, that's nuthin' with an n'. I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. But, I can do nuthin' by my dang self. There is a point in your life that you realize that you are the problem. And to make things right, you just gotta get yourself outta the way. The "background" is not a bad place to be. Especially, if the "foreground" is taken by the Creator and the Orchestrator.
