I recently read Andy Stanley’s newest book, The Principle of the Path, and I must admit that its message might be one of the most important for today’s society. A trend in culture in general (as well as my own life) is to isolate events as unimportant in themselves or insignificant in light of our lives as a whole.

Today, Friday, May 15, I’ll be attempting to take 100 pictures on my iPhone to participate in #100picfriday, a day of fun and photo-merriment started by Joshua White (@joshuawhite on Twitter). The premise is that each participant tries to take 100 pictures with their cell phone camera and present them all together in a blog post. I’m not sure how many other people are participating, but I’m going to give it a go and see what happens. I’ll be impressed with myself if I can manage to get to 100. So here it goes (oh, and check back throughout the day for more pics and probably links to other participants’ blogs)… (more…)
