8 Years of God's Blessing



In the past, I have normally come to approach anniversaries with the stereotypical male attitude of "oh boy, here comes another gift I need to get!" Not so these days. As we grow older together, Meg and I enjoy looking back at the long road that God has brought us down and we find that it has gotten more and more enjoyable along the way. I think that many of us will always long for those days "when we were young", but I don't think that way much anymore. God has show me that He makes my marriage more and more special each day, and to me my wife becomes more and more beautiful as well. Its never an easy task to be married. Two people with sinful and selfish hearts shouldn't just plain get along all of the time. But its a major world of difference when you have two people who look to the same Savior and God for the grace that is needed to love each other more. So, 8 years of marriage to the woman I love is now here. May God grant us many more!

Woops, a wee bit hasty...sorry. :-(

The more I started posting on my new photoblog site, the more I began to feel a little less focused on my art. I started posting more for the sake of getting an image up there, and from it I felt less satisfied with about 50 percent of it. I want my art to have significant meaning to me, and recently, I've been feeling like I have been mass-producing it. For that, I would like to apologize.

I have also been noticing that the new photoblog hosting site degrades the image quality of my images, unless I pay for some sort of "plus" account. After reflecting on it all, I realize that the former photoblog, jurina.wordpress.com allowed me more flexibility and no degradation of my images. Therefore I am going to return to my first location at wordpress, and continue posting there. I have also found a new blog template that is more suitable for photoblogging. I hope you all like it, and again, I apologize for the flip-flopping and any confusion.
