Blue Like Jazz

I'm reading a book that was given to be by a friend called Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. Here's a quote from the book that really hit me like a ton of bricks:

We live for what we believe. If I live what I believe, then I don't believe very many noble things. My life testifies that the first thing I believe is that I am the most important person in the world. My life testifies to this because I care more about my food and shelter and happiness than about anybody else.

Good food, good friends, good times!

I'm at S'agapo Greek restaurant in Queens with Yanni from Wedding
Style, Uncleray, and Brian Phillips. Great food! Thanks Yanni!

$40 Workshop with Mike, Jessica, & Dane

For the next four weeks, starting tomorrow night, Tuesday 4/8/08 from 7-9pm, I'll be teaching a class with Dane Sanders and Jessica Claire at Rock Harbor University called "Missional Photography :: More Than Pictures". I am so excited about this class because it will be equipping photographers to tell stories using their cameras on the mission field. CLICK HERE for details and to register. The photos below were taken in the Brazilian Amazon while on location with Thirst Relief International. For more details on Dane's blog about this class CLICK HERE.
