Henry Blackaby tells this biblical story succinctly and pointedly: James and John were called the “Sons of Thunder.” When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community!

Blackaby started his devotional with a verse I love to read – it just gets me excited about getting in on amazing things: “Call to Me, and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3 Don’t we all want to know God Himself will answer us

I give credit to Jenna Christina, a documentary family photographer, for the inspiration and provocative questions she shared in her blog. Yes, I wondered what that job description was, too, and here are her words: documentary newborn and family photographer splitting her time between Finland and San Jose, capturing family life “as is” in the
