How Great Thou Art

Sunset Over Brasilia, Brazil. 

Whenever I see a brilliant sunset I can't help but think of the Mighty Power of God (Not Allah) who created the heavens and earth by his breath. This last year I realized for the first time that the God of the universe that created me will never abandon me or forsake me. Humans are not capable of loving the way God loves us. It impossible. Flesh can not compete with God. This pass year I've seen wife's abandon there husband Fathers abandon the children and a Rouge US government that has no limits to  perpetrating evil. Thank God, that all this madness will come end with Jesus sitting on throne ruling and reining and putting everything in order. Lets face it man is to dumb to do anything right that's why we need a Savior. Jesus please come quickly!!

Ponte JK at Christmas

Ponte JK Brasilia, Brazil

The world famous Ponte JK in Brasilia, Brazil, lite up at night with a splash of color for Christmas. Well, it Christmas time again. I actually  always enjoyed the 24th or Christmas Eve the best. So, for me this is a time to reflex on the pass year. And what a year it's been for me. The good new is God (Jesus) is still on my side. I am comforted in the fact that my Mighty Savoir, the Prince of Peace and King of Kings, can never leave me, abandon me or hurt me in anyway. And that my friends is good news! As one of the lines to one of my favorite songs says "With Christ at my side I am Destined to Win."  Blessings to all as we celebrate the birth of the True and Living God who came to earth to save us, forgive us, and give us an Abundant life to all who believe in Him.  For it is written that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of All.

Maria José, with her great big smile.

Sometimes while walking around looking for interesting thing or people to photograph I'll come across someone like this lady Maria José. To me the lines on her face told the story of a life that has been somewhat hard at times. She has five children that she hardly gets see and a husband that abandon her years ago. But, with all that she still manages to smile and has a great outlook on life. She actually made my day with her beautiful smile and kind words of "God bless you" as she left.

Well, today is Thanksgiving in the US. A time when families get together to eat to much food and a chances for liberal's to get all bent out shape. Anyways, this is one beautiful Brazilian family that I had to privileged to photograph the other day. What I was most impressed with is that although very poor they where also very happy, well behaved and welcomed me with open arms. May God bless them and watch over them everyday.

A photo shoot a I did a few months back with up and coming Brazilian super model Paloma. In addition to being a beautiful young lady she also is very humble, intelligence and creative and loves the Lord.  I pray that God will bless her and direct all of her steps. The youth is a very important part of any nation. If you loose them, there goes also, the country. 

Colorful Foliage

Pink Ipe Tree

No matter what time of the year it is in Brazil, there always seems to be something beautiful in bloom. Take these trees for instant the top one is of an Ipe tree very common here in Brazil, and blooms in several colors such as yellow and I believe red (not sure if the bottom photo is an Ipe Tree).
