01/24/2009 I haven't been around much since the beginning of the year. But I just could not help but share this image with my friends here at the dailies. It was taken yesterday at the Texas Rally for Life at the steps of the Texas state Capitol. I felt like this tender father / daughter moment really captured the dignity of humanity. Maybe if you are having a cold day full of seemingly uncaring people, this moment will bring some warmth to your soul.

01/10/2010 Today is the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, the last day of the Christmas season. Tomorrow, all of the Christmas decor comes down in the church. This was the piece that really touched me this year. It reads in Latin, "The Word became Flesh and dwelt among us". The book on the Altar is the Book of Gospels that is used for the Gospel reading during Mass. I added the light to the center of it and the simulated lens flare fell directly on the Latin words. I kind of like the subtle visual message it speaks about the Light of the World coming into the world.
