i don’t know what to write tonight. i just feel like writing…so maybe i’ll just type until the words come…or they don’t…

i think it’s been easier for me to just focus on my photos…finding the beauty in them - using that as an outlet…instead of blogging. it’s easier with pictures…you don’t have to say anything - the pictures speak for themselves.

anyway, it’s just been an easier form of expression for me lately than writing…

sometimes it’s just hard to find words - sometimes because i have nothing to say…and sometimes because words can’t really do justice to how i feel. and sometimes it’s because what i probably should do is just be quiet…

i’ve never really done quiet very well. maybe that’s why i’m enjoying just letting photos speak for me.

a picture is worth a thousand words anyway, right?

i spent some time reading the psalms today. it seems like david understood…maybe because he, too, was a musician and poet who lived his life in front of an audience. i only made it to psalm 13 - plus, psalm 121…i always read psalm 121….

anyway, david gets me.

and now i’m just listening to the rain and wishing i had a few more photos to become absorbed in editing.

i guess photography “gets me” too.

peace.

I’m worn out…but in a good way - After church, we had baptism and lunch at our house. So, the house was packed again. I can’t tell you how that thrills me. I love having people over…and I love C3 - so it’s a win/win! Plus, as I mentioned below, our youngest, Ethan, was baptized…so it was an extra special.

So, …it’s been a pretty full day that started around 5am, so I’m ready to just listen to the thunder…and sleep awhile.

Thanks to all the people who made my job of being hospitable look so easy - Darrell, Peggy…and all the staff: You rock!!! And congrats to all the new Christ-followers: Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day. Days like today really keep us going and remind us all why we do what we do.

So, they’ve just issued a “severe thunderstorm warning“…sounds heavenly to me. (Of course, those of you who know me well know I’m quick to give my speech about the danger of lightning in Central Florida:  The highest death rates from lightning in the United States are in Florida! We live in the “lightning capital of the Northern Hemisphere” - so BE SAFE!!!!…okay, I’m done.)

Anyway, I’m tired so I’m gonna go put on something ugly…I mean, “more comfortable” and wait for it to rain.
P.S. : I’m letting Byron post the pics this time, so check out his site.

Peace to you all.
