Last week, our pastors, Matt and Heidi Messner, attended a conference in Southern California where photographer Jeremy Cowart was a speaker. The following link is to a video on his Facebook page where he tells his life story as he went from "I Can't" as a child and young adult to being one of the most influential photographers of our time.  His story is about being a Christian, but on top of that, it's about what you can do when you have people who believe in you, when you begin believing in yourself, when you believe you can make a difference in the world by sharing the gifts you've been given, and how your gifts can then influenced others on a world-wide scale.

It's 25+ min in length and was posted February 16.  I promise you, it is very much worth taking the time to watch, and I guarantee goosebumps, tears, smiles, and joy.
