About me
Equipped for Life is a blog designed to offer observations on life from a biblical perspective. Through my own articles and posts from others, I hope to provide helpful thoughts to those who desire more of Christ! If you benefit from what you find here, please pass it on to others and share the link with as many as you would like. Also, I would love to receive comments and thoughts from you about what I include and suggestions about other things you might like to see. The overall purpose of the site is captured by the name I have given it–to equip and encourage followers of Jesus Christ for a life that grows to maturity and conforms to His image.
In addition to that noble purpose, this blog will also provide an outlet for my own photography which currently remains hidden away on my computer. This outlet will give me a way to publish my favorite shots–even if they are viewed by a small number, that is more than they are now! Hope you enjoy them! As a fun aside, I will also be putting videos up which are intended to inspire, amuse or encourage since I am always finding things on YouTube I want share with others!

Family is such a joy. I love the pictures of you and Cathy with your grandsons. I can see where each of them gets their eyes.
