reflections of creation: a picture for a very special day

Reflections of Creation

One of the greatest things that God has given humans is the ability to see beauty in the world around us. I have never noticed my dog stop and stare at the beauty of a forest or the incredible colors of a sunset, but these things have the ability to stop me in my tracks in wonder and awe. This website is my attempt to capture some of the beauty and glory of an indescribable God by capturing reflections of Him that I see in His creation.

a picture for a very special day

Stamped: Thursday, June 04, 2009

Happy Birthday, Mom!

This picture is from the Glorieta prayer gardens where you spent several of your birthdays sponsoring youth camp. You were always willing to do whatever it took to tell teenagers about Jesus, even if it meant you had to go to camp and spend your birthday around a few hundred junior highers who only shower when they are forced.

So, this picture is for you, mom, because to this day, I still think of your birthday when I am in the prayer gardens (and Dan making out with Jenny there instead of going to your surprise party).

:-)

the most important part of this website

I enjoy photography and I always find myself wanting more time to be outside with a camera. The idea of posting my pictures was born out of the love for my wife, Alison (alisonbryantwrites.com), who hates it when I do not take my days off. This website, reflections of creation, is a way to force me to get out of the office from time to time and putting me outside where I love to be. While a creative outlet for me, I hope this is an encouraging site for you, and one which helps point you to the Creator of all this beauty around us. God is so much bigger and amazing than we could ever imagine, and He loves you and me! What an amazing thought! He loves us so much that He was even willing to let His son, Jesus, die as a sacrifice for us. That fact is more beautiful than any picture you will see on this website. I hope you know Jesus, but if you do not, please email me or go to www.needHim.org. Thanks again for coming and stop by again soon.
