Obama, Hillary, Bill & Annie!

No matter how you feel about the 2008 election, as a photographer, it is exciting to be able to take amazing documentary photographs of the candidates....Tamara Lackey, a very well known photographer in NC and around the country, was able to get some very cool shots of the democratic candidates this week while they were in NC, as well as President Clinton and superstar photographer Annie Leibovitz!! Tamara truly inspires me....see her blog for the past couple of posts and all of the amazing shots she got!! (my mom had a little hand in some of it....read Tamara's blog to see how :) wish i had a pic to post!

Our New Cross

A very talented husband and wife team made this cross for our church. For those of you who don't know, Lawson and I are part of a church plant that started about 5 years ago here in Wake Forest (Christ Our Hope Church). Well, after meeting in a school for almost 5 years, we were finally blessed with a church building of our own! This sweet couple labored for hours and hours over this cross, and the end result is just breathtaking. I had to share what Megan wrote as she was sanding the cross...

"Kneeling across the wood plank of walnut, planed and smoothed, i am trying to remove the remnants of any splinters, my knee presses harder on the board and my back hurts. i suddenly lose it, crying out to God, did anyone care about splinters on your cross, did they spend hours picking out the perfect pieces to befit the King Of Kings? Did they spend days making it shine, smooth and beautiful? cutting the pieces to make sure they had a perfect fit?
Tears welled up in my eyes as i realized that MY Saviour did not complain about how comfortable his cross was, nor how beautiful it looked, nor how mighty the tree was. The Prince of Peace died on nothing more than a common olive tree, naked, bleeding and tortured, and he was worried about ME (and you!)!!!!! and i have a hard time being humble, yet the Lord of Lords exemplified the very word as he took my shame upon himself.
awe-struck i am. had to share this feeling."

Thank you Megan and Dan for blessing our little church in this way!
