It's Over a Year But Seems Like Yesterday

My beautiful daughter-in-law's gorgeous brother moved to heaven a little over a year ago. He was twenty five years old. He had been diving for lobster off the the coast in his beautiful hometown of San Diego with a friend and he never swam back up to the surface. He was one who lived very deliberately, regularly demonstrating his love for family and friends.

I used Steven Curtis Chapman's song "All About Love" to put together a video to remind our family and some friends that when the fast paced world of this information age comes pressing in around us we need to remember what it's really all about. For me the sheer "busyness" of teaching and learning sometimes seems to exalt itself above the truly important of life. This song and some of my photos help me remember to keep life in proper perspective by treasuring those I love and thanking God for the beauty around me that I see in nature and the faces of family and friends.
