scripture & a snapshot

I came upon this fun blog, & decided to join the challenge this week. I'm passionate about photography and there is absolutely nothing like the joy of a good photo for me. ...Of remembering the joy, the moment, the laughter, the memories, the people....of seeing God in the smallest areas of life. I love the house where you live, O LORD, the place where your glory dwells. -Psalm 26:8

This is where the roots of my faith were watered as a little girl growing up in Minnesota. This is Aastad Lutheran church. We visited MN recently and went to church here with mom & dad. It's always good to worship here and fellowship with so many faces I grew up with. This time, we were part of a celebration for Aastad....the church has been here for 100 years. The foundation of the church was built with Norwegian hands. The stained glass windows throughout have Norwegian text on them. The first years of the church's documents are all written in Norwegian. The church is beautiful, the people kind.... I'm thankful for my beginnings here.
