Motståndare avslöjas när tron försvaras
2008-06-04 16:52:00 Jag tycker inte om att behöva försvara mig. Och många gånger gör jag det inte heller. Jag resonerar: huvudsaken är att jag i alla fall vet vad som är sant. Låt dem skrika av sig lite bara, sedan blir det bra. Dessutom har jag nog en onormal störning: jag njuter inte, som vissa andra, av ... More About: Parenting , Children , Tron , Families

Dependent on Electricity
2008-06-02 13:53:00 I just saw this, and thought it would be good Monday fun! The news clip states: “Are you afraid of rations on electricity this winter”. Sofia answers: “No, I am personally not that dependent on elecricity since I live and work in the middle of the city.” Sofia, Sofia… what can we say? ...

Take a Stand for the Family (2)
2008-05-30 23:15:00 Some individuals in Kristianstad who saw my article, Våga stå upp för familjen, wrote a counter article in the local paper, Kristianstadbladet. The went for a direct hit against me and my faith, misrepresenting both, and ignoring completely the issues I had brought up. Here is their article, followed by my response. Skydda barnen!

Sebastian and Eva Married
2008-05-24 09:21:00 My nephew Sebastian Herrey (Per’s son) was married yesterday to his Eva. I can’t believe it! I remember it like it was yesterday when Sebastian was born. To see him grow up has been a great experience, from boyhood to manhood. I’ve grown to love and admire him a lot. And Eva is such a ... More About: Religion , Family , Photo , People , Love
Take a Stand for the Family
2008-05-21 11:59:00 Because of the celebration of United Nations International Family Day, 15 May, I wrote last week a debate article that dealt with the importance of families.

It?s a Dog?s Life
2008-05-19 01:40:00 My brother Richard’s family lives close to us. The other day his wife and daughter, Marie and Melina, came for a visit - with their three dogs. The first scene that met me was this. Tibby, on the left, has just had a leg surgery. “But Lucy… what’s your excuse?” Clara set herself up for a wet dog ...

Rockstars, Bishops, and One Stubborn Ant
2008-05-15 12:15:00 Below is my own favorite image from Photo s - Södertälje Party (2). It’s the lead singer from Nordman, Håkan Hemlin. The “moment” is caught, I think, that represent this performer the best (as I see him, anyway). I had a nice chat with Håkan after the show, in which he told me that he had ...

Oh no? My Girl?s in Love!
2008-05-13 22:46:00 I wish it would have happened a bit later… in about… oh, I don’t know… 16, 17 years perhaps. But now it’s clear to me: Clara is in love. The recipient of her affection is a neighboring boy, Johan. As seen in the photos, Clara only has eyes for Johan. No matter how nice brother Isak ... More About: Family , Photo , Love , Girl
I?m a Dead Man
2008-05-12 01:42:00 I am tired and need to go to sleep. But I thought of something Isak said awhile ago that made me laugh (and I want to write it down before I forget). One morning he came to me, kind of excited, and said: “Dad, I had a dream about you last night.” “Oh, really! What did you ... More About: Humor , Family , Dead Man , Death , Dead

2008-05-10 02:12:00 Here are all of the artist’s photos, in slide shows, from the Södertälje party. I didn’t always get the best position for these shots, so I’m not pleased with all of them, but hopefully there are some in here you like. If you wonder, by the way, these are all nice people.

Alive through the Love of God (2)
2008-05-07 12:53:00 Anna wrote a comment to Alive through the Love of God, and asked some really good questions.

Alive through the Love of God
2008-05-06 10:39:00 Last night I was moved by a verse in the Book of Mormon, one of our sacred books of scripture. In 2 Nephi, chapter 11, we read that Nephi was anxious to learn from God what his father, Lehi, had seen in a vision about the tree of life. Then, as he pondered in his ...

Studio Photos
2008-05-05 00:57:00 I’m trying to put together a folder of studio photos. Working in the studio is great fun, but unfortunately it’s a bit of a time consumer. But here’s a start anyhow. Hopefully I’ll have a change to add some more photos… in the future. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge. ... More About: Photo , Photos , Studio

Out in the Fields
2008-04-30 00:09:00 Just before the sun was about to set I asked Isak if he wanted to go and find some deer and take pictures.

Spending Money You Don?t Have
2008-04-28 09:27:00 This is my answer to government policy that we need to spend more and more money to boost our national economy, even though it means joining the crowd of bankrupt millions who are treading water just to stay alive. It’s a quote by Will Smith. “Too many people are spending money they haven’t earned, to buy ... More About: Money , Spending

Opportunity is the Blessing
2008-04-23 14:42:00 My family watched a movie recently, Evan Almighty. It was a cute film, one I would strongly recommend. Morgan Freeman plays God and and Steve Carell a US congressman who is given the task from God to build an ark. I won’t tell you the whole plot, but suffice it to say that Evan runs ...

Angel turns Theif
2008-04-17 11:06:00 It seems that there was split “voting” on The Faces of an Angel . Your thoughts, which by the way were very kind, represent pretty much what I feel too: she was so cute in many of the shots, in different ways. Therefore, it’s hard to pick a winner, but if I was force to, ... More About: Humor , Family , Photo , Children
