So… My sister is getting married in January and she asked me to take some pictures of them….

All pictures taken at William & Mary in Williamsburg.

random shots of this past summer...

"I was wrong, everybody needs someone, to hold on
Take my hand, I've been a lonesome man, took a while to understand

There's some things we can’t live without, 

A man’s so prone to doubt, 

Faithful are the wounds from friends. 

So give it just a little time, 

Share some bread and wine 

Weave your heart into mine, 

My friend 

Walls fall down, where there’s a peaceful sound, lonely souls hang around 

Don’t be shy, there’s nothing left to hide, come on let’s talk a while 

Of the places we left behind, 

No longer yours and mine 

But we could build a good thing here too 

So give it just a little time, 

Share bread and wine 

Weave your heart into mine 

If I fall, I fall alone, but two can help to bear the load 

A threefold chord is hard to break 

All I have I give to you if you will share your sorrows too, 

Then joy will be the crown upon our heads 

My friend" -Josh Garrels

Troglodyte by, Esbern Snare

And the pain in your eyes is unspoken, all the words put under the shade.
Still a light you will be to another, if you'd only learn how to wait.

Troglodyte, is that you in the open? Have you come to settle down? Still today, there are words for tomarrow, and a light to bring you home.

How you've drifted away, to a cold house enough, to bear your thoughts, to hold your words, till the end of the day.  A table for us, set so plain, to relieve your weight, then you go on your way.

And you stand in the fields with your Father, and you ask how could this be real? There were days when it seemed you were nowhere, have I lost all sense of feel?

Troglodyte, is that you in the open? Have you come to settle down? Still today there are words for tomarrow, and a light to bring you home.

"Lord, you are my God;

    I will exalt you and praise your name, 

for in perfect faithfullness

    You have done wonderful things,

    things planned long ago."
~Isaiah 25:1

Father, thank you that all my life is in Your hands.  Thank you that You alone are Worthy of my praise. You alone are worthy of my thoughts. You have my Devotions, my Affections, You have my Heart and my Soul. Thank you Father, that you ARE faithful to the END.  I put my Trust and Hope in You. You are the perfect Fulcrum of my life.

 "For I know the plans I have for you, 

declares the Lord, plans to prosper you 

 and not to harm you, 

plans to give you 

hope and a future."
~Jeremiah 29:11
