Three things I couldn't live without...

God...love...or music

I asked my Mother what she thought were the top 5 things most important to me, and she answered: 'God, your music, your writing, your photography and your friends'...and she was right. ;)

I hope this blog will help you get to know me a little better. :) As you read, and are (LORD-willing) inspired and encouraged, give all the praise to God, for it is HE who speaks through my words to you.

Oh, and you'll probably see mention Alfonzo on my blog a lot.  Crazy name, I know...well, #1 - it's Spanish.  It means 'noble and ready'.  And #2 - he's my Nikon d3000 baby ;)
