               Today while browsing Facebook a post from a local youth pastor where I live caught my eye.  I was just looking at my photography page and trying to brainstorm ways to draw attention to it.  The post was for a photo challenge.  I have heard of these before, basically there is a theme presented and you post a photo-a-day in an attempt to capture the theme.  My wife told me about one in the past, the idea is that by forcing yourself to focus on a subject matter every day you will grow in your ability to capture ideas. 

               The post that caught my eye was for a Lenten photo a day challenge.  Lenten is the Christian season leading up to Easter.  We attempt to reflect and focus on God as Jesus did in His time of fasting in the wilderness.  Typically people will try to give up something for the season.  I find that for me, personally, I find myself missing whatever it is that I gave up, and miss the bigger picture of focusing on God.

               Each day there is a word, the theme.  The photo will reflect the theme and I will also give a short description of why I chose the image that I did.  I hope this is a time of reflection and of truly seeking guidance from the true Creator, the Creator of Heaven and Earth!  I encourage you all to seek the Creator as well, whatever that entails.

               I will post a link to the challenge for anyone else who is interested.  If you start late simply jump in where ever you can start. I will post the word or theme for the next day in each post and remember my posts will be a day behind allowing me to complete my image and blog post.  I hope you will follow my journey and share with your friends.   Lets get started the first theme is; Who am I?
