I took this shot of Griffin a long time ago, but it is one of my favorites. This is a photo set of random San Diego shots also.

This is a set from our trip to Utah Thanksgiving 2006. My family has been heading out here for a while and we helped my dad build a cabin in a town called Escalante. There are millions of miles of offroad and hiking trails. The wide open space and colors are amazing and it is always a good change of pace from San Diego.
I just realized that the title I gave this blog makes it seem like a political statement, but it isn’t. However, if you want to get amped up let me know what you think of some of the photos. Leave your comments on my flickr account. Peace, Hope and Love.

Here are some shots from a typical Sunday at Mid-City Church of the Nazarene

Well, it has been about 4 years since I blogged. New Jerusalem Peasants was just a way to stay connected with family and friends. It worked and allowed me to update everyone on hard times and good time in Pichilemu, Chile. This blog is intended to be more of a creative outlet. You know do something of substance with all the doodling and painting I do sometimes. It is good to be back and I think I might mess with the html so this thing looks legit.
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
