I have been writing on the web since 2000. I am a christian , a photographer, an occasional poet, a recovering dreamer, an occasional philosopher, a software developer, an autodidact, and I resemble the INFP personality type.
Strategy #1 – Avoidance Don’t let your mind think about it. The moment it pops in your head, frantically think of something else… anything else. I call this avoidance… and cite Phil. 4:8-9 as scriptural reference. Avoidance works best if you combine it with Strategy #2. Strategy #2 – Turning the Tables This strategy is really just a derivation of Avoidance. But when you are accosted by thoughts or desires for sinful things, sometimes the source of these actions come from outside yourself. To turn the tables, you follow the Avoidance strategy. When a temptation pops into your head, immediately…
Point Birdy!. Oh the horror! HTML hath no fury like a web designer scorned.
Christians still die for their faith. The New York Sun report that Korean Reds and Targeting Christians. I found this excerpt exceptionally moving.The 20 parishioners were detained near their clergy, and watched, along with the assembled audience, as the five Christian leaders were told they could escape death if they denied their faith and pledged to serve only Kim Jong Il and his father, the first dictator of communist Korea, Kim Il Sung. According to the eyewitness, the clergy remained silent.For their steadfast belief, the Christians were executed. According to the report, "Some of the fellow parishioners assembled to watch…
This angel reminds me of what I would expect to appear before the empty tomb of Christ, proclaiming, "He is not here, He is risen as He said!".

A close up of the photo posted on the 13th. My favorite of this figure.
This one was more weathered than most, and the figure has a distinctly medieval look about the face and hair.
Wycliff pointed this greek bible out to me. It looks really useful if you are a student of greek. It shows the meaning of each word in a javascript title tag and allows you to see a lot of meta data about the words usage.
I like the way the trees frame her figure, and the way the stature leans slightly forward. I think it may need cropping a little, to center the image, but I’m not sure.
Chromasia posted a pleasure doing business / 10 November, 2005 and John from Shots Photography started a discussion. I’m not sure what the heart of the discussion was about, but I posted some thought about photography and the medium that I felt were interesting enough to repost here.I’m terribly confused about what the debate going here actually is. Anyone care to sum it up?While I’m waiting for that I’ll throw my random two cents in, because heck, I’m always up to talking about the medium.Personally, I think the photoblog has limitations as a medium. I’m not putting the photoblog down,…
It took my poor laptop 18 hours to parse out the OT, and about 6 hours to parse out the NT, but the Bible References for each Strongs Greek and Hebrew Number is finally done. This should enable me to add cross references to the strongs definitions in the AJAX Bible.
The colors of Autumn and the soft muted tones of grey colored stone. I like the expression of her face and folds of her robe and the way the weatherd stone adds depth to the piece.
Chinese get prison time for Bible delivery, says the Washington Times. All they did was hand out Bibles, and for that they get three years of prison. God bless them.
Of all the locations in Saint Louis that I have photographed, the two cemeteries in North Saint Louis are my favorite. In the Fall, few places are more beautiful. The quiet atmousphere and surrounding sculpture is a rare place of beauty and repose.
These kind of images are, by far, the most affecting for me. There is something about the worn and weathered look of a face that speaks of care and long suffering.
We visited the Bellefontaine Cemetery last friday. I couldn’t bring myself to convert this next set of photos to black and white. The colors of Fall have been gorgeous.
