I took this photo when I was about 12 or 13 years old. This was my brother, Shawn, when he was about 5. I told him to pose and he decided to pose as if he was praying. I don't think either of us had any idea how prophetic that photo would be.
My brother gave his life to Christ when he was just a little boy, about 9 years of age. I had come to the Lord about a year earlier, when I was 16. Since he was a child, Shawn has had a passion for the things of God, and definitely became a man of prayer, and eventually, did ministerial work. He has served as a pastor, and even had a radio show for a while, trying to reach out to the community in which we live.
Now, I am asking for prayers for my brother. Last night when I got home from work, he was waiting in the driveway, and asked me to bring him to the hospital. He was short of breath, gasping, and said he had had a coughing "fit" and coughed up blood. We rushed to the emergency room, and thanks to a dear friend who is a nurse, said the necessary things to get him in ahead of other people. She felt that he might have a pulmonary embolism, and told me he HAD to get in there right away or it could be fatal. So, she told me to threaten to call Morgan & Morgan, a local law firm that specializes in law suits! Sure enough, they took him in next, and since some people had been there for hours, that was pretty impressive!
We were there for hours, waiting for a bed to free up, and for tests to be run. His oxygen levels were low, and his blood pressure was incredibly high. I can't tell you how frightening it is to sit in a waiting room, helpless, while your kid brother is in a life-threatening situation. I couldn't help but feel that somehow this should have been me, since I was older. So many emotions flooded in, all the things we'd been through, and the petty squabbles that seemed ridiculous in the light of the situation. Finally, my middle nephew arrived and went back to see him, while I stayed in the lobby with about a dozen people, some who were crazy and having psychotic episodes, and others who were in pain but not complaining. It was like being in an episode of the Twilight Zone!
When my other nephew arrived, he went back, which meant I couldn't, so I received updates through texts. My nurse friend came to the ER and brought me a sandwich, because I hadn't eaten all day and it was 11:30 at night. I was so grateful for that sandwich!
I finally got to go back and see Shawn again. He was a little loopy from the meds, and was getting a headache from the nitro they'd given him. I learned his BP had been 203/ 123! His oxygen levels were up, and the xrays and tests were showing no clots in his lungs. They then suspected a heart attack. He had had no pain, though, so the other thought was that this was all because of elevated blood pressure. We won't know until morning what else they will do, and if he will have to have a heart catheterization. Thankfully, the BP is back down, and he is receiving blood thinner to keep him from clotting.
Needless to say, it's been stressful and harrowing, but Shawn has been in good spirits, making the jobs of the hospital staff a pleasure. They love him, and it's easy to see that he has such a heart for people. Now, people need to have a heart for him. I am requesting prayers and good thoughts for my brother so he will be out of danger and back home soon. It's hard for me to look at my 6' 3 1/2" brother now and see this little boy in the picture, but I still remember all the years that have gone by, and hope for many more to come. Please pray.

Myanmar represents a complete departure from any destination I've ever photographed before. It is a cultural destination, and traveling around the country with two local photographers for nearly three weeks, we were fully immersed.

This place is hell to me
With the devil in my bed
And the devil in this bottle
And the devil in my head
I’ll meet you in heaven again
If you wear that dress again
(i’ll have one more drink, my friend)
Where my heart is kept on ice
And prayers burst into flames
Prayers on fire

Prayer Flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.
Dharma prints bear traditional Buddhist symbols, protectors and enlightened beings. As the Buddhist spiritual approach is non-theistic, the elements of Tantric iconography do not stand for external beings, but represent aspects of enlightened mind i.e. compassion, perfect action, fearlessness, etc. Displayed with respect, Dharma prints impart a feeling of harmony and bring to mind the precious teachings.

I do believe we're all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in taking care of each other.

In the light of of the tragedy and loss of lives in Paris, believers around the world are advocating / interceding
for Paris to the most High God. Yet how sad the unbelieving continually defiant to acknowledge Him in the midst of adversity to tell the world God is not relevant to lives of Parisians. As qoute and qoute from one French cartoonist :
"Friends from the whole world, thank you for # pray for Paris, but we don't need more religion.
Our faith goes to music! Kisses! Life! Champagne and joy! #ParisIsAboutLife," from Joannsfar posted to Instagram after Friday night's terrors assault.
Although she used the word "religion" and Parisians don't need religion, which understandably implying the concept of God isn't needed anymore in their lives.
Perhaps they haven't known this, that "We can't live by bread alone ...."
Christians should humbly reconcile and pardon the cartoonist because she hasn't seen the glory of God as we have seen, experienced and realized. We can only hope the views of this cartoonist doesn't represent the rest of the people of Paris.
However, are we surprised of this type of conviction invading the hearts of so many people today, growing cold and leaving their Christian heritage all together .
The Bible speaks in 1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons."
Are these what we are seeing today ?

Prayers do have power, . I said this because myself have witnessed the power of God many, many times which intervenes and put things just right on my path. Prayers work of those who believe , having the faith, and relationship with God. Existing in a Godless life is a life without divine protection and living such life should be truly scary.
I wonder why people take life so easy without God . Life can be easily snapped away without warning and into eternity we go . Although many scientific advocates tried to prove we just end up as dirt after the elixir of life faded away . But God has given people revelations through personal experiences of NDE's / OBE's , that hell and heaven / paradise do exit .
Hell is place of containment under the earth . It's without air, without water and everything . It's a place where man has lost it all into eternity and a place of total separation from God . Although many unbelieving would dislike this statement but that's how the scripture warns us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have several testimonies of victory in the Lord I haven't shared here as it's hard to share every detail of it. One happened lately which rocked me to the core . I was left deeply anxious , truly shaken. What left in me was the only hope for God to take me to the rescue. I went into deep intercession and spiritual warfare as I knew it's an enemy attack ( Ephesians 6: 12 ) . Praise God, He is always there for me . I would say what had happened was a miracle and God's protection with a doubt . A protection no one can take away unless God allows it. God is an awesome living God . My experiences were surely aren't coincidences .

A suspended prayer. In Man Mo temple, the city, Hong-Kong island. Once I crossed Victoria’s bay, I walked along the skyscrapers of the City. After some errand, I stumbled upon Man Mo temple. Right in the middle of the city, on the bottom of the tall buildings, it felt like it was in a remote location.
