The Building of a Chapel Part 1

Recently, I have had the pleasure to be a part of a special project...The building of a chapel for the marriage of a daughter.  This labor of love is a precious thing to help with and observe.  It is ...in many ways ...the beginning of something beautiful.

Ah, to build, to build! 

That is the noblest art of all the arts. 
Painting and sculpture are but images, 
Are merely shadows cast by outward things....

No Picture Today

We are getting into a whole new rhythm here.  Senior picture season is gearing up as are weddings and elopements!  FUN!  Spring is full of change and excitement.
I came across a quote today while reading with my boys and thought it would be appropriate to share here in lieu of an image.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account
of the present, but is a source of inspiration,
of vitality and hope where others have resigned;
it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the
future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

While we may never face the odds Dietrich Bonhoeffer did, those are great words to take us into the rebirth of spring.
