Speaking
For most all my years as a photographer, I channeled my expressions through imagery. I felt comfortable behind the camera, allowing the images to say its “thousand words”.
However, many things changed after my wife passed away. During my time creating this collection, I found that by focusing on the cross of Christ, I was allowing Jesus to focus on me. I followed the prompting of the spirit to share the gospel through the written word, I then began the process of sharing these messages verbally.
To do so, I reflected on the realizations, edifications, and epiphanies I received while spending countless hours at the foot of that white wooden cross. My intention as a speaker is to transmit what I felt while capturing and contemplating the message of the cross. In a world of constant chaos, it is the protection, purpose, and peace of the cross that never changes.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! – Psalm 96:3
