Hear My Cry

Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe
I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

Psalm of David - Psalms 61.1-4

Star Wars

Star Wars was a pop culture phenomenon from the get go when it first came out in 1977. Sequels followed quickly and all the films were nominated for or won Academy Awards.  The story line captured the imagination of the nation and continues to hold our fascination.

This is a portrait of a young boy at the age of five who is now grown up.  He grew up dreaming of Jedi knights, wookies and lightsaber duels. He grew into a man of great character and is very creative.  He has many interests and talents.  We feel privileged to count him as one of our friends.
