Sorry about the longevity between my posts.  Summer school has started for me so I won't be as busy and I will probably have more amazing posts for you guys to enjoy. 

Anyway, the first picture is of a saddened angel who wants to go to Dairy Queen but can't (I took this at the Regionals Tournament).  Tear drop.


This picture is still one of my favorites.  It turned out rather nicely for a ninety dollar camera.  It's a plant for anybody who didn't know.


This picture is quite a sweet picture if I don't say so myself.  I took this picture while in a competition with Mary Bell over who could take the best pictures.  I still don't know who won.


If you have ever seen my bright red tie you will understand why I took this picture.  That red tie is the most fantastic piece of silk ever to touch base on this earth.


If you remember, I took a picture of this castle at the Regionals Tournament.  It was a decoration for the cupcakes at the feast.


This, of course, is a cloud formation that formed for me so I could take an amazing photo (cough).


Totally wicked!


This picture is of our cuckoo clock.  I wasn't even looking when I took this picture (gasp).


That's it for now.

Sometimes thinking is the thing that keeps us going but sometimes it is the thing that drags us down to despair that eventually leads to nowhere but sadness.  And what is sadness, but a thing that hinders our ability to see clearly.  Why is it so hard for us to let go of this sadness so that we can see clearly?  Why would we not want to see clearly?  Why is there so much of this sadness in this world?  Why can't we see the effects of our sin,the sadness that it causes for others, the almost unbearable grief, the grief that sends some people to hell wondering where the answers were?  If we could see clearly would we not all the more strive to be perfect.  If we could clearly see the sadness, would we not as christians strive all the more to spread the light and the answers.  Why is it so hard to die to ourselves and live for someone greater.  Someone greater who has done something that we cannot fully comprehend.  Something that we can't see clearly because of our sadness.  Why not let go of the fear?  Why not strive to be perfect?  Why not spread the light?  Why not give hope to a sad world?

Anyway, cool picture.
