Summary: Touring Lima

From the Maria Angola Centro de Convenciones across the street from our hotel to the Plaza de Armas downtown, we had a fantastic tour of Lima today.

I think the Plaza de Armas was my favorite location. We arrived there at dusk, just in time to photograph the beautiful textures of the intricate architecture.

Afterward, we ate dinner at a very fancy Chinese/Peruvian restaurant. They say the President of Peru eats there sometimes! It was distinctly South American.

Thank you for praying for the team! As an update, we are staying very healthy and God is blessing us with favor in the eyes of all we meet. Please pray now for organization and direction for long term goals.

Quench not the Spirit

 

"Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise, in light inaccesible, hid from our eyes."

 

One Sunday morning soon after sunrise I stepped outside. What I saw brought a tremendous feeling of awe! The scene reminded me of what it is like to live in God’s presence and have nothing hid from Him. Through His Spirit and His word, God wants to show us the right way. May God bless you today with the joyfulness and peace that come as we quench not the Spirit.

Solving Significant Problems

Perspective

“The significant problems we face today cannot be solved
at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”

Introducing Lenspiration!

Lenspiration Logo

Though most visitors to staddonfamily.com have already heard about Lenspiration from one source or another, I felt it obligatory to officially announce it’s introduction into cyberspace!

Lenspiraion: giving the inspiration of the Creator
through the lens of a camera. This sums up the purpose behind the formation of Lenspiration.

About a year ago, I began to accomplish this by showcasing my favorite pictures online on a simple website. Now, due to developments from the past few weeks, it has expanded into a full fledge portfolio, complete with a blog for interactive discussions on photography and the ability to purchase both prints and downloads!

Of course, there is much expansion envisioned for Lenspiration. New pictures are added continually and the current appearance will be updated as development continues. For now, stop by for a visit: there is much to explore at www.lenspiration.com!
