Benjamin and I took an hour and a half walk today through a cemetery that's right across from our church (the church is also where he goes to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays). We went right after I picked him up from school and I took over 300 pictures (don't worry, I didn't post them all...only my favorites). David and I have been to this cemetery several times. It's so peaceful and quiet and really makes you realize how short life really is. Makes me think about my life and wonder if what I'm doing is really pleasing God? Am I bearing good fruit for Him? Am I going to hear "Well done, good and faithful servant" one day from Him? Really makes me puts things in perspective when I get all wrapped up in the petty things around me. Makes me see the bigger picture. It's not about things...it's about love; a love for Christ and a love for one another.

Wonderful thoughts and beautiful pictures! How wise to see life as short and measure our attitudes and actions in light of the end of things. We love you Kelly!

Kelly, I was just talking about this the other day with a friend of mine and how it all seems to be going by so fast. And how often I fail to see what really matters b/c I'm too caught up in the fluff. Anyway, LOVING your new camera photos...it's addictive, I tell ya! Not to mention, when you have such a cute subject, it's hard not to want to take a million pics!
