Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

365 Day Photo Challenge-Day 13
Day 13-Something Electronic
I introduce you to.........my IPad! I would be lost without it. Well, not eternally lost, but my life would not be the same without it! This little silver piece of metal and circuits has become something I rely upon. My IPad has become like a friend, I count on it to be there for me; and it helps me out in so many ways.
I use it for my quiet time.
I use it for Bible study prep.
I use it to pin inspiring projects and yummy recipes, onto Pinterest.
I use it to keep in touch with family and friends on Facebook.
I use it to read a novel.
I use it to surf the web.
I use it to find out the answers to, oh so many, questions.
I use it to watch You Tube videos, on how-to-do-stuff.
I use it to go shopping.
I use it to go window shopping.
I use it as the best-ever-recipe book.
It is my calendar and my notebook.
It reminds me of important dates.
I play games on it.
My grand kids play games on it.
I use it to keep me company, when certain persons are watching sports.
I LOVE my IPad!

Day 12-Sunset
Psalm 65:8 And they who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Thy signs; Thou dost make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.
365 Day Photo Challenge-Day 10 and 11
Day 10-Something Blue
Day 11-A Childhood Memory
I was hoping to take a photo of the sky, but I haven't seen blue sky, in like, forever! Anyway, I was visiting my daughter, helping out in the kitchen and I saw her cute kitchen valance made out of vintage hankies; and there it was, something blue. And it brought back memories of my grandmother, and of my mom too; they used hankies like these. My mother always had a tissue or a hanky on her. In my mind's 'eye,' I can see the tip of a hanky, poking out from my mother's shirt sleeve. I remember asking her once, why she carried them this way. She said that she put them in her sleeve, or tucked into her bra strap, so that she always had one ready to wipe us kids' noses. She said, "Runny noses are the grosses thing!" My grandmother would keep a hanky folded up in her purse. She carried one of those purses with the clasp that needed to be pinched apart, the kind that made a definite 'snapping' sound when closed. Her hankies had beautiful embroidery on them. She was the one who taught me how to embroider, so that I could make pretty hankies for myself. I even made some monogrammed ones for my father one year for Christmas. Yes, even he, carried a hanky; folded up and placed in the back pocket of his pants.

365 Day Photo Challenge-Days 6,7, and 8
My life is CrAzY!! I began this Photo Challenge as a 'creative outlet.' I wanted to try my hand at something new, something that I thought would be fun. Also, I'm challenging myself to 'follow' through on something that I enjoy doing. I am real good at following through on work, home life, church, etc. But, if it is something artistic or just for fun, I will find that I don't finish what I started. I found that not being able to post the photos on their proper days, caused a bit of angst, and I wanted to just 'forget about it.' I make up all kinds of excuses in my head for why it would be better to just stop. After all, I got behind and now, how will I ever catch up? Isn't it defeating the purpose of a 'Daily Photo Challenge,' if I don't do it 'daily?'
But, as I thought about it and prayed about it; I discovered that in the area of recreation, sports, crafting, sewing, writing, and picture taking, actually learning/doing anything new; I want to be 'perfect' at it! And, that takes all of the 'fun' out of it. My personality is such, that if I say that I am going to do something, well then, I better do it! I tell myself, it's not like sports, or sewing, or this Challenge are so important. It's not like continuing on with this challenge is going to affect or change anyone's life; so it's ok to quit! Except, keeping up with it will change me! I need to keep on going; even though I wasn't able to post every day, and it isn't going according to my plans, I need to not quit!
And so, I'll keep going. Even though this post will contain 3 days worth of photos; I still took the photos each day, I was still trying to be creative about the subjects that I chose to capture, and I was still thinking about 'why' I chose them..........and best of all, it was fun!
Day 6-From a Low Angle
I love this old apple tree; the spring blossoms, the shade it gives in summer's heat, and the way it's branches look barren of leaves. Even the texture of the bark is beautiful.
Day 7-Fruit
We had a potluck at Women's Bible Study today. I love to fellowship with the ladies that attend. God has made each one of us unique. He has given to each of us spiritual gifts, so that we can serve and love on one another. We all 'bring something' to the body of Christ. And, it is good! Just like a potluck! I know, it's a stretch, but I love how God uses the 'ordinary' things in my life, and turns it into an 'extraordinary' lesson.
For a potluck, we bring a dish to share. Something that if we prepared it at home for our family will have fed a few, but now, it feeds many. We bring a dish that is thought out and unique to us. We are sharing of our resources, of our time, and of ourselves; so that others are fed.
And so, I didn't take a picture of one kind of fruit, but of many, all mixed together, and it was good!
Day 8-A Bad Habit
I go to bed way too late! Maybe this is why I don't have time to do the 'fun' things? Maybe this is why I don't have the energy to 'finish' something that I have started? The End!
