“So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His” Hebrews 4:9-10 I love the woods in the fall. I find rest there. So much goes on in the summer months, but in fall things slow down. Even nature slows down. On autumn hikes I sense this slow down and find rest. It feels good in my soul. God placed in us the desire to find a perfect rest. But in this world that desire cannot be met. Only through Jesus will we enter God’s eternal sabbath rest. In heaven our souls will find rest in God’s perfection. Read all of Hebrews 4 about God’s rest. Don’t miss a daily photo and verse.

She went to the well to satisfy her physical needs. Jesus promised that in Him she would find a greater water to satisfied her eternal needs. The Bible tells us she repented and believed Jesus. When we do the same we find Eternal life in Jesus. In Him we’ll never thirst again. Read more about finding Jesus and eternal life at everyperson.com.

Escaping the digital World
Hi Everyone. I recently wrote a guest post for Carla Alvarez, the proprietor of raisetowalk.org. I wrote on how to escape our digital world by heading to the great outdoors. To learn about how to get away from the digital madness and the benefits of doing so click here.

A Different Kind of Bible Verse of the Day
Six days a week I post a Scripture verse or passage along with a picture of nature. The two together work to encourage people through God’s Word and God’s creation. I desire to reach people around the world with this daily Bible verse and creation photo so they may know the greatness and goodness of God.
As an outdoor photographer I spend a lot of time outside. I enjoy spending time in nature even when I’m not taking pictures. My family and I like to go for walks or hikes to enjoy the beauty of just being outside. Often, I bring along my Bible and a journal to reflect about God during a hike or walk. As a result, I have learned that God speaks to us through His creation and the creation speaks to us about God.
The Bible tells us that creation reveals many of God’s attributes (Romans 1:20 and Psalm 19). Through nature we see God’s power, transcendence, majesty, glory, beauty, provision and so much more. May these pictures and daily Bible passage help you to see these qualities of God reveled through His creation.

A little Bit About Me
Before jumping into nature photography I worked as a newspaper photographer and then joined the missionary organization Campus Crusade for Christ (now called Cru). I worked as a photojournalist with Campus Crusade’s magazine,Worldwide Challenge. While working with the magazine, I had photo assignments in seven different countries and 24 different states. Traveling and photographing in the U.S. and internationally, gave me a wealth of knowledge and experience about life, people, and culture.
Today, I work as full-time freelance photographer, teach photography part-time and work as creation speaker. But as a result of my days with Campus Crusade, I still have a heart and passion for ministry. I want to bless people through my photography and Bible verse of the day. I hope you enjoy this site! Finally, I encourage you to get outside to enjoy God’s creation and dig into God’s Word daily. Blessings!
