Your Bio
Welcome to Bulldog Studios Home of the Columbus Crusaders game photos!
The promise of Spring is upon us and before you know it, Creation will burst forth and come alive with bright colors and warm sunshine. As in every year, nature arises from its slumber, reborn and ready to demonstrate its resilience to the cold, dark and dreary days we call Winter.
As nature thaws, her now tender roots dig deeper and become more anchored as they prepare their majestic dance before their Creator. The annual display of life and freedom creativity and color, greet the warmth with renewed anticipation each day. Nature looks toward the sun as a giver of life…and then basks in its aura at sunrise each day, taking from it warmth and light, and giving in return, a rainbow of colors, textures and aromas that overwhelm our senses and stimulate our minds.
Yet, there are times in which we experience winters of our lives in which the sun seems to have left us and the cold winds invade our hearts. Some of us know those all too well. The times in which it seemed that Spring would never arrive. The times when it seemed that the sun was nothing more than a distant memory of youthful summers long since past. The times in which it was a daily challenge to function in a world full of dysfunction. To us, the sun seemed to have forgotten our need for its warmth. We become despondent and desperate, and cry out in anguish and pain. The times when we feel that we are walking a difficult path alone and with little hope.
But why do we despair as those who have no hope? Do we presume that the sun is not there simply because we can’t see it? Or that the brilliant colors of Spring will no longer return because we do not see it when we glance out our windows? Do we believe that the warmth of Summer or a caring embrace from a parent was simply an imaginary sensation that, by its current absence, fails to have existed?
So it is with the Son, Jesus Christ, in whom we place our trust. Just because we may not always see His presence, doesn’t mean He isn’t there. Just because an overcast sky has covered our spirits does not mean that He is not present. And just because we have taken our eyes off of Him, does not mean that He is not forever watching over us.
Without the grey skies in our lives, we cannot appreciate the brilliant blue of a Spring day. Without the faded hues of winter, we cannot appreciate the broad palette of colors He uses to paint our landscapes. Without despair, we cannot appreciate the hope that comes with knowing that He is with us each step of the way. Without trouble, we cannot experience pure joy. Knowing this, we can make it through those days when the world and its challenges seem overwhelming and God seems distant.
For those who call upon His name, we have a hope that God knows our most intimate needs and will provide for us according to His plan. There is no cold that His warm embrace cannot conquer. There is no grey that the brilliance of His presence cannot pierce. There is no circumstance that He has not already made provision for.
Knowing this, take rest in His arms and leave your worries at the foot of His cross. Take those burdens that weigh so heavily upon you and lay them at His feet. Place your full and complete trust in His plan for your lives.
He has created us for a purpose…and He will finish the good work He has started in each of us.
May God Bless you and your families this Easter as we celebrate His triumph over death, and His promise to return for His children. If the Giver of Life can conquer death itself, can He not also conquer your problems and fears?
Enjoy your visit to these galleries. Within each page you’ll find passion for life and a dedication to excellence. It’s a collection of human moments in which each of us have made a difference in the lives of another. It is a documentary collection of sojourners, frozen in time, during our own personal walks with the Savior.
Most of all…it reminds each of us how precious our time together is.
Blessings to you and yours this 2008.
