In The Name Of The Son

Sample 15 – Lily Pond & Botanical Building, Balboa Park, 090908
These shots were taken just as I was shifting from the handy-dandy Nikon D40 to a handier-dandier (and also then recently acquired) Nikon D80.

The Fool, The Lazy Man, and The Liar
Some notes from Proverbs 26:Do not be as a fool, who requires harsh discipline and extra effort to speak with sensibly; He is stubborn and unreliable. (see 26:3-11)Do not be as a lazy man, who is wise in his own eyes - a fool is better off than him! He is unproductive, and impractical. (see... Continue Reading →
