One of my favorite things to do is drive in the mountains with just about any Brian Doerksen worship song blasting away. A few years back when my son Shannon and I made regular trips into the mountains to shoot photos together (for me to steal precious time with my son before he drifted away as a man) we traveled three days to my favorite place in America, The Grand Tetons. I had watched the weather patterns to make sure our trip coincided with some potential storms in the mountains. As usual, all the way there we would worship God to Christian music at 80mph with our hearts on fire. When we arrived at the park, the skies were crystal clear. I thought perhaps I had missed the weather patterns I was looking for. I really wanted to show Shannon how the best landscape photos include incredible skyscapes as well. The next morning we awoke to that fresh smell of rain before sunrise. We scrambled to our shooting location and when the sun broke through I could swear I could hear Brian Doerksen singing I lift My Eyes Up (Psalm121). Since we were by ourselves, I had Shannon stick the Brian’s CD in and while we shot these majestic photos we worshiped His Majesty, Our Father in Heaven! As I write this, I’m still overwhelmed with emotions from that moment with Jesus, Shannon, The Father, incredible mountains, the Holy Spirit, Brian Doerksen and photography. Treat yourself to a listen to the song that goes with this photo. Here is a link to a you tube version of the song…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgpHAiPuaF8 Psalm 121: 1-2 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
