January 2018 in Photos

For the past few years, I've taken a photo a day for the entire year. Then I have compiled all the pictures into a book of memories for the year. This Photo a Day project has been a fun one. And I've enjoyed going back to it over time and reminiscing.

And this year I've decided to share my photos on here as well.

At the beginning of each month, I'll share the previous month's photos. I'm sharing, if for no other reason, than to help me remember some of the memories and thoughts that went along with each of my 365 photos from the month at hand...

So without further ado, here are January's photos.

1) I started 2018 off with the first day of our All Africa Conference.
