Deep Calls Unto Deep

Posted on by under Photography

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Depth.”

Please click on the word depth to see how others have interpreted the challenge. Here are my thoughts from Psalm 42

My soul is downcast within me;

therefore I will remember you

Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus!

Oh the deep deep love of Jesus!

from the land of the Jordan,

the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

7Deep calls to deep

in the roar of your waterfalls;

And the running of water

And the running of water

all your waves and breakers

have swept over me.

Here are mine along with a poem I love from Emerson

The Apology

Think me not unkind and rude
That I walk alone in grove and glen;
I go to the god of the wood
To fetch his word to men.

Tax not my sloth that I
Fold my arms beside the brook;
Each cloud that floated in the sky
Writes a letter in my book.

Kylemore Abbey

Kylemore Abbey

Chide me not, laborious band,
For the idle flowers I brought;
Every aster in my hand
Goes home loaded with a thought.

There was never mystery
But ’tis figured in the flowers;
Was never secret history
But birds tell it in the bowers.

One harvest from thy field
Homeward brought the oxen strong;

A second crop thine acres yield,
Which I gather in a song.- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Weekly Photo Challenge: Yellow

Posted on by under Photography

So the Weekly Photo Challenge from the Daily Post is covering  the decidedly un Christmasy Color: YELLOW  this week.

That’s OK it doesn’t all have to be about Christmas. In some ways it’s kind of nice to think outside of the season box.

Find lots more yellow stuff at

Weekly Photo Challenge: Gone But Not Forgotten

Posted on by under Photography

This week the Daily Post has challenged photographers to bring up pictures of things that are GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

You can see how others interpreted the theme at:

Here are my thoughts concerning the matter.

“Think about your day yesterday. Did you build your priorities around the truth of repayment at the resurrection? Or were you, like so many well-intentioned believers I know, operating on the assumption that work for God now equals compensation from  God now?

If so you are seeing only the glare of the temporary where Jesus hopes you’ll see the galaxies of eternity.” Bruce Wilkinson,  A Life God Rewards

Pastor Wrinkles wild and crazy days as a youth pastor are gone but not forgotten. Someday I may even receive a reward in Heaven for being willing to wear this costume at a youth convention in front of 1100 teenagers.

Dr. Seuss said, “Don’t be sad that it is over be glad that it happened.” For me that is true of so many things.

It is different now but I still cherish the years I have known this lady.

Killarney, where the lakes meet the mountains and the mountains introduce the skies and the waters run off with them both in a divine romance.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Woodrow Wilson
