I’m free again!

Well at 5 I will be.   Happy Friday Everyone!  Go fishing!

I love to catch candid shots!

And at this time we were acting all crazy I think???  Or did I say something, any way, we got a really good shot!

Playing fast around the drums is one thing. But to play music,

to play with people for others to listen to, that’s something else. That’s a whole other world. – Tony Williams

There are few songs where the drums really get a good solo. But they are really good songs.

“Life is something like a trumpet. If you don’t put anything in, you won’t get anything out.” W.C. Handy

As I’ve said before the trumpet amazes me. Three keys and such huge sound!

I hope y’all are enjoying these band images!

We had so much fun with these young students! Band takes a lot of practice and dedication to excel and these kids really practice hard.

Terry and I are so blessed to have the parents and the Mothers that we do!!

Proverbs 31

10 [b]Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.
11 Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it.
14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She is energetic and strong,
a hard worker.
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
her lamp burns late into the night.

19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
and opens her arms to the needy.
21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
for everyone has warm[c] clothes.

22 She makes her own bedspreads.
She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
where he sits with the other civic leaders.
24 She makes belted linen garments
and sashes to sell to the merchants.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness.

28 Her children stand and bless her.
Her husband praises her:
29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
31 Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

You know what that means!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Look at those eyes!

Another sweet young lady that I had so much fun photographing.  All the students were so sweet and polite.  And I think they all had fun!

This is the happiest baby!

All you have to do is look at him and he smiles.  We really lucked out with this location and had a great time getting his images.

James 1

¹⁹ Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. ²⁰ Human anger^[g] does not produce the righteousness^[h] God desires. ²¹ So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

²² But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. ²³ For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. ²⁴ You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. ²⁵ But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

²⁶ If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. ²⁷ Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
