I Saw God Today

I am that person that gets distracted driving because I am gazing at a sunset...that person that swerves on the road because I am looking at a hawk that's flying above or perched on a power line. Some people don't understand my love of photography, but it captures those moments and records them forever.

My current favorite song is by George Strait, "I Saw God Today"
Chorus:
I've been to church
I've read the Book
I know He's here, but I don't look
Near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should
His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slow down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear
I saw God today

George Strait sums it up best in that song. That's what I feel when I see sunsets, wildlife, nature. All of these things are God's work and it amazes me how people can be unbelievers when they see His amazing work. He puts signs and reminders for us everywhere, but somehow, we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and don't often "slow down to stop and stare." Everytime I see these things, I try to take some time, even if just a moment to think to myself "I saw God today."

I just got a new camera - Canon G10 - and I am so excited, because this camera allows for more portability than my DSLR while retaining excellent image quality. You can bet that the camera will be on me 24x7. I can now catch all those amazing moments when I "see" God. So for this entry in my blog, I decided to post a few pictures from my photography site when I have been thankful for the opportunity to see God's work. Hopefully there will be many, many more of these to come!
