• Never Forsaken, CSI at Home, and Still Photo(lessness)

  Never Alone
  "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ." (Philippians 1:27) This isn't an order or a law or a rule; this is a reminder.  When He becomes a part of our life, He doesn't become a small part of it or a controlled portion of it... He becomes the center of it.  Studying the Bible, prayer, and any other act of drawing closer to Him enable us to give Him that center point.  We not only learn of God and His works, our everyday thoughts begin to center around Him.  It's displayed in our speech, in our writing, in our choices, in our very actions.  Thus, whatever the day brings, whether uplifting or beyond discouraging, we are not without hope and we are not without the ability to act in a manner worthy of Christ.  We are not abandoned to the venture through the joys and trials alone (Deut 31:6), but He does calls us to do the things that draw us closer to Him as well.
  

  CSI: Living Room
  A bit of the lighthearted, for you at least:
  Yesterday, I walked into the living room to find a gruesome site.  The camera lay on the floor, a binder on top of it and a piece of it nearly a foot away (the memory card cover).  I first wondered if the wife bumped them onto the floor on her way out, but the crime scene didn't fit, for they both lay in front of the door... difficult for her to achieve if she went out that door.  Further investigation revealed a giant stuffed animal nearby.  Perhaps the young boy.  While he seemed to be fast asleep in his bed, he's known for a history of pretending to be asleep when something goes wrong.  His sleep seemed genuine, so he was tentatively ruled out as a suspect.  That left the cat.  Said cat is known for climbing on top of furniture, however he has diplomatic immunity.  So the crime goes unsolved and unpunished.  The poor camera can only hope for a quick hospital stay soon.  Who did it?
