IT’S OK TO BE A HEIFER THIS CHRISTMAS (A POST STOLEN FROM MY WIFE)

Black_heifer_EH

Okay, so I'm not encouraging everyone to overindulge themselves and gain a lot of weight this season, but I am encouraging you to gain blessings by serving others. So, what is this about? It's about the organization, Heifer International.  This organization raises funds in order to provide animals and seeds and education to areas and individuals that are in need. It is great because people learn how to raise animals and to profit from them so when the animals reproduce, they give the offspring to others to learn how to do the same-and on and on and on. Remedy for this Heart, our non for profit organization has decided to support Heifer this year by raising funds through selling t-shirts and holding a benefit concert. We have decided to support the Arkansas project, Seeds of Hope. The Delta Sprouts is a southeast Arkansas cooperative established to serve the people of Chicot, Desha and Drew counties. These counties struggle with poverty, poor nutrition, unemployment, … [Read more...]

RESCUE A GIRL FROM THE SEX TRADE

via she dances dot org

image via she dances dot org My good friends over at the organization SHE DANCES are in the middle of a campaign to raise money to get their safe house in Honduras funded for the next year. They are asking 200 people to commit to $20 a month for the next year. It seems a small price to pay to give girls their lives and innocence back. Here is what they wrote on their website recently: Every girl deserves to dream. Every girl deserves hope. Every girl deserves to love and to be loved. Every girl deserves to dance. When she dances she is alive… when she dances she is free. She's free to live, to laugh, to love. She's free in her heart… she's free in her spirit. Hope moves within her… beauty finds her. She Dances. Our heartbeat… To see freedom in the lives of the 27 million people in our world today that are held as slaves. Our cry… To believe in the future and hope of the 800,000 girls who are trafficked across international borders each year for the purpose … [Read more...]

LAURA3

I don’t know how many of you know this, but my beautiful wife is currently the reining Mrs. North Richland Hills here in the beautiful state of Texas. Which means that in about a month and a half we will be traveling to Corsicana, TX for this years Mrs. Texas Pageant where she will be competing. Now the beauty of this is, is that when it comes to pictures we don’t have to pay lots of money to have her headshots done. It is quite convenient that she has a photographer living in her house. That would be me in case you were wondering. So today we set out to get her headshot done for the program and the judges sheet. Right now I think we have the one picked we want to use, but I wanted to see what you guys thought. Please tell me your favorite one in the comments section. Would love to hear what you all think. Just put the number that is your favorite in the comments section: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 … [Read more...]

MISS…

Today as I reflect, I am simply missing some of my homeless friends. I think about them every time that it rains, gets cold, gets hot, or unbearable in some way shape or form. When I am hungry...I think of them. When I am thirsty...I think of them. When I am cold...I think of them. Today...I miss my homeless friends. … [Read more...]

HOPEFUL HOMELESS & JUSTICE+REVIVAL

dallas27bw

Again yesterday I was back in downtown Dallas shooting pics for the Justice+Revival that is coming to DFW in November. This time I took my former homeless friend Kyle with me to help me get into some circles I could not get into myself. I was able to hang with some guys that I have had the opportunity to hang with in the past and they let me take a few photos for my project. There is power and hope behind these rugged and life filled eyes. Please become aware that there are others who we can help and sometimes it takes nothing more than treating them like human beings.

VERNON “THE STREET POET”

streeppoetvernon

Last night I was commissioned to do a surprise photo shoot for a friends birthday. Her boyfriend went to great lengths to surprise her. More coming on that in my next post. While waiting for the signal I decided to go and walk around downtown Dallas. The night started with a homeless man needing some food and a bus ticket...so I much obliged. Then as I sat and waited a man walked by and asked me if I liked poetry. Right away I was intrigued. I took the bait and said "sure." He handed me a paper back book of poems that he had printed. He turned to a page and then asked me to read as he recited it to me. Word for word he recited that poem about his journey back from drug addiction. I then asked him his story. For the next 30 min. or so he told me all about himself. I learned that this was one of three books that he had written and self published. He sells them on the streets a few times a week for some extra cash and the opportunity to get his story out there. I was remiss that I had … [Read more...]

INDIA HOW I MISS THEE…(A PRAYER BLOG)

THE POST BELOW IS FROM OUR REMEDY BLOG. I POSTED THE FIRST ONE HERE FOR YOU, BUT PLEASE FOLLOW HERE!!! Yesterday I had the joy of hanging out with one of those people I have collided with in life that is steadily becoming a great friend. Jeremy and I headed down to the West Village in Dallas yesterday and had an afternoon of conversation with Anne Jackson. Now she has lots of accolades behind her name and is a mind of brilliance, especially in the Christian world. What I love about Anne is that she is continually wrestling with and having open and hard conversations within the context of life and ministry. Now you may be wondering why the introduction above. Well…glad you asked. Anne, Pete Wilson (Lead pastor at Crosspoint.tv) and a team of peeps are going to board a plane and head to India for the next few weeks. They are going to encounter things they have never experienced before. They are going to touch poverty in a way they have never touched it before. They are going to … [Read more...]

As most of you know we took an 8 day tour around the country to raise money to help get our homeless friend Kyle off the streets. My good friend Daley Hake came along and donated his time and talent to produce some rockin pics of our tour. I will post more of them over the next few weeks for you all to see. Most of them will be posted on our Remedy Blog Space. While on the road he took some new pics for me to use for promotional materials. Here are the three edits he sent me.
