    Title me
    From Monday to Wednesday, I have shot about 350 photographs.  Granted, some of that is due to bursting (rapid successions of shots), but still a good many photos.  A good many that feels very good!  It's been some time since I've been on such a shooting spree.  The last couple days has also allowed some of my creativity block to be freed up even more.  I'm so glad for the fun of the snow, but even more for some of the new ideas that have been coming to me.  Yay!  So the photos... Caesar Creek Gorge and Caesar Creek State Park on Monday, just before the heavy snow came.  It was cold, frozen and clear (hence the ?otD on Monday), so it made for some good photography weather.  None have been Photoshoped/touched-up.  The road to the right is the same as the one posted yesterday.  But something I noticed on my desktop gave me today's question: Do my photographs appear dark on your monitor?

    What if every believer... Part 6
    What if every believer worried less about fixing peoples wrongs and spent more time sharing about Jesus with them?  That isn't to say we shouldn't help people; that is to say that people who do not know Christ cannot be expected to live as if they do.  Greed, perversion, lust, abusiveness, ... what can most help a person battle these?  Logic?  Reasoning?  God gave us amazing minds that can accomplish much, but are we more powerful than the Creator?  Why then do we expect people to act as if they are changed when they haven't even been introduced to Him?  Even if we did reason with someone to end their actions, if they don't know Christ... have they really been helped?  They just have another rule to follow.  What if they body of believers stopped leaving this world to be condemned by the law and started introducing this world to the maker of that law?

    Hmmm, shall I cross the line from xanga aquaintance to the torturing of a friend...YES. I took 352 pictures Saturday when we were offroading! Should of been there

    All teasing aside, I'm glad you were able to get out with your camera! These pictures are so different from the desert, yet they have that same sense of barren wilderness that speaks to the soul.
    The photgraphs are darker then you're usual images, but very reach in detail and saturation...especially the Frozen Cliff.

    As a child and teen all I knew of God was the Law and traditons of the church...I walked away from both. Praise the Lord, that when I was lost in my 20's at least I knew to seek Him for anwers...what I found was the True Love that filled the emptiness of my heart

    The first photo IS a little darkish ~ I think Photoshop would brighten it right up.  The rest are fine.  That last shot is stupendous!  Good post about sharing Jesus.

    Not too dark on mine. They are gorgeous. I'm so jealous. I want your camera.

    No, your photos are not dark at all on my pc.

    Regarding What If: Perhaps we would begin to reap the harvest, if we did as you suggested.

    I love your "What if every believer..." thing for today. It describes a huge change and work God has been doing in my life in the past semester and all up here at BGSU. I like the pictures too... I miss trees, they're a little sparse up north here!

    The first one is dark, but not inappropriately so (at least not in my opinion, for whatever that's worth). It looks like an evening scene as opposed to a day scene, and I think it adds to the beauty and surreality of the image.

    Interesting what if.

    I really like the "Frozen Shallows" picture. Pictures look fine on my monitor Yay creative unblocking!

    Your pictures looked dark on my laptop monitor until I adjusted my screen angle. I really enjoyed seeing your pictures.  What are shallows?  That is a new water term to me.  Bill Hybels book JUST WALK ACROSS THE ROOM sort of addresses your question of the day.  I am only on chapter 1 so I am processing.  I am not good about sharing my faith in person since most of my friends are Christian any way.  We do often discuss our faith but to each other, not to unbelievers.  Great question.

    Your photos are so awesome. They really are. I love coming to look at them!
  • all_american_girl

    I showed the pics in your previous blog to a little girl that I babysit.....she was amazed.  She's never gotten to see snow before.  She was in awe.....    I'm telling you, these south Georgia people are sheltered!!!   LOL

    Goodnight...and have a wonderful weekend!!!
