I like to photo shop buildings. Something about reversing the light exposure on them just gets me every time.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Humanity

Posted on by under Photography

This week’s photo challenge from THE DAILY POST is : HUMANITY

http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/humanity/

Here are my thoughts on humanity

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” ― Mother Teresa
You can be in a play
“What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.” ― Joseph Addison
“We must laugh and cry, enjoy and suffer, in a word, vibrate to our full capacity … I think that’s what being really human means.” ― Gustave Flaubert

This is the parking lot of our church. The photo was taken at sunrise just before our last artist’s gathering in August. Below are some photos of our group art project from that day. The splatter paintings will be displayed at the Toy Town Fall Fest, the C.cada fall art show and at the Cloverton concert in November for which they were made.

Death is Nothing at All

by Canon Henry Scott-Holland

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away
into the next room.

I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we are still.

Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way
which you have always used to.
Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was,
let it be spoken without effect,
without a trace of shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval
somewhere very near,

just around the corner.

All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

I so long to meet the great cloud of witnesses who long before I was born prayed that God would  save my soul!

Share Your World 2014 Week 36

Posted on by under For Family & Fun

I missed Sharing my world last week because I was away in the Berkshires leading worship and caregiving for guests at the New England Special Touch Getaway! So this week I am answering question for two weeks to catch myself up. When you have finished sharing a bit of my world find out about other worlds by going to:

Let’s start with this week’s questions from Cee:

Do you prefer reading coffee table books (picture), biographies, fiction, non-fiction, educational?

My first book is the Bible. I read several chapters daily (that’s non-fiction in case there might be any confusion) After that I am a big fiction reader. I am currently fascinated by anything to do with the English royal lineage and I am particularly stuck in the War of the Roses.

What is your biggest fear or phobia? (no photos please)

I dislike new things and change. That means currently I am being HUGELY stretched because everything in my life is new experiences.

What is your favorite cheese?

I love Gouda.

What is your favorite month of the year?

I like November. It is my birthday month and Thanksgiving and  this year we will have my daughter’s wedding in November!

Now as to last week’s questions:

Have your blogging goals changed?

When I started blogging on “Reinventing the We’ll” I thought I would be talking about the empty nest. I ended up doing a whole lot with photography and of course sharing the Christian message. I also never expected to get so involved in the blogging community. That has been a happy surprise!

If you were to perform in the circus, what would you do?

I think I would be a clown.

If you could go back and talk to yourself at age 18 what advice would you give yourself?  Or if you are younger than 25 what words of wisdom would you like to tell yourself at age 45?

I think I would tell myself to take better advantages of the opportunities that presented themselves. To be more proactive and less reactive. Time passes quickly and some things only present themselves for a brief period.

What is your favorite comfort snack food?

I have to have my daily nutty buddy with a hot cup of coffee.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to help my friends at Special Touch Ministry. The work we did there will last into eternity. I was privileged to baptize three of our camp guests. The joy each guest expressed coming out of the waters of baptism is not something I will soon forget.100_4726
