Happy Earth Day!

As nature lovers, Jess and I want to wish everyone a happy Earth Day! There is no purer beauty in life, than the endless beauty of God’s creation.

We would also like to announce our charity partnership with Plant With Purpose. They are a Christian charity which plants trees and helps communities in areas that need it most. As with our previous charity, we will plant a tree on your behalf with every single item purchased from our website.

We are excited for this partnership, and feel that Plant With Purpose is a perfect match for our brand and our mission of serving God.

(Numbers 35:34) "Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel."

God dwells among us, still. We are to care for and preserve His creation as much as we can.

You can learn about our charity by vising their page (above) and website: https://plantwithpurpose.org/

" Spring Thaw Reflections – Negwegon"

I’d like to ask everyone to stop, take rest, and enjoy a moment of peace. Know this: All of this creation is God’s and we, like creation, are in His care. Every moment belongs to Him. Every beautiful location is a glorification of His perfection. The majesty and splendor of our Earth is but a small sample of our ultimate goal. It is easy to feel lost among the ruckus of this journey known as life. It is much easier to find our way, if we keep our eyes affixed to Jesus.

One thing is always clear… Regardless of the machinations of humankind, the seasons of this Earth march right along. As I sit and write this, the past brutal and dreary winter is beginning to give way to the new life of spring, as it has since the dawn of creation. The time is now for God’s people to leave their homes, immerse in the world around us, and be a light to the Earth in the very same was that the springtime’s warmth washes away all of the icy remnants of a lifeless winter.

This photo was taken in spring back in 2021. The newness of our new home in Alcona County was still very fresh and Jessica and I were only just beginning to explore our new stomping grounds. The beauty we are surrounded by is endless and as long as I have breath, I will use it to glorify the creation of our Almighty God.

(Song Of Solomon 2:11-13) "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; {12} The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the dove is heard in our land; {13} The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away."

Enjoy!

Available in all of our popular formats! And, of course, custom options available upon request.

For the last few years, little by little, Jess and I have been working on gathering photos, stories, the mood, and ambiance of what has become one of our favorite tracts of land on God's creation near our home in Alcona County.

I started writing this post a few years ago. Little by little it was added to and tweaked but, I never really had time to completely finish it.

Finally, it is done. It may be edited in the future. But for now, we have a pretty comprehensive guide to share the love for one of Alcona & Alpena County's most unique recreation spots. The eminently beautiful and our favorite local spot over on the Michigan Sunrise Coast: Negwegon State Park!

(Ecclesiastes 7:8) "Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."

We are so blessed in Alcona (and Alpena) County!

Negwegon State Park Michigan Photos & Information Negwegon State Park is certainly one of the most unique, captivating tracts of nature that we have had the joy of exploring here in Michigan. If we are talking about the lower peninsula exclusively… It is the top of the list for Jess ...

We're not typically the type to brag about our accomplishments, but in this case, we will a little. You see, we've been working over the last few months, with providing photographs and answering questions for this little magazine right here. Maybe you've heard of Michigan BLUE Magazine?

At any rate, we had the pleasure of being their Photo Essay for their Fall 2025 Issue, and we cannot be more thrilled that it has finally been released and we can talk about it! (Don't worry, we'll put the link in the comments below so you can purchase a copy of the magazine yourself.)

Thank you Michigan Blue Magazine for the amazing opportunity of sharing our photography with a wider audience, and the honor of gracing the cover of your outstanding magazine for this issue. God is truly blessing us in many phenomenal ways! 🙏🏻🥰❤️
