How do you thank someone for introducing you to your future? In all honesty this man was only a servant of God doing what God wanted him to do...and through that, the Lord used him to change my life.
Mark Massey came to Northland (where my dad studied to become a minister), about the time I was a sophomore in high school. He volunteered as a our yearbook advisor, and the rest is history. The first camera I ever shot with was Mark's Nikon FM, a great camera; and I fell in love. He also had a darkroom for the yearbook, which I totally dug. Me and my good friend Mark Vanderwarf spent many an evening there developing, printing, and tricking each other into sniffing acetic acid(really burns your nose).
So many years later, I now have the priviledge to do family pics for the Massey's. Mark, his wife Lynn, and their five wonderful kids serve with Victory Family Ministries in Wausaukee, WI, and every time he needs a picture I'm their man. How can you pay a person back for such a gift...I have what you call a life debt.
So if the Lord had not introduced Mark into my life, I might be flying a airplane or something. The Lord has a perfect plan for each one of us, and I hope and pray that your life matches up with God's plan...cause it's the best.
Mark
