I like editing photos when I have some time to kill.
It relaxes me and helps me to exercise a creative part of me that I don’t get to use very often.
I got up a little early this morning and curled up with some coffee and my computer, and here’s what I came up with.

For several weeks now, Steph has been going to a Tuesday night Bible study. That recently ended, but it has now been replaced with another Tuesday night meeting, so somewhere along the way, Tuesday nights have officially become “Guy’s Time” at the Riesland house.

I thought a lot about what would be a neat gift to get you this Father’s Day, and I realized that more than anything, I wanted to write you this letter. I’ve been meaning to write it for a while, and Father’s day gives me a good, hard deadline.
