Photo Shoot (Cat Edition)

  In case you haven’t already guessed what this post is about I’ll go ahead and tell you. My cat (one of five) was being very playful and photogenic one day and I just happened to be outside with my camera, so naturally I took a bunch of pictures.

Oh and did I mention that he loves to bite…

He’s biting my hand in this last one…

Ouch!

He looks so majestic in these two…

And these last ones are my favorite because he looks so cute!

Shalom!

Photo Shoot

  My sister and I recently did a Photo shoot together of which I was inspired to do in the first place because of a book I just read. The book was called “Runaway” by Wendelin Draanen where in it the girl in the book “runs away” (go figure) anyway it got me thinking of all the homeless people out there and how so many of them are lost and confused and don’t know where to turn to, or to whom. And it got me to thinking that life without The Father in it, is like walking on a deserted road, constantly waiting for a way out that will never come. A “Highway to Hell”

  And I guess in some ways by reading that book it made me thankful for even the small things, like having a roof over my head and food on the table, and I thank Yah again and again for all the Blessings He has given me.

 My sister is very photogenic in case you haven’t figured that out yet.

 I want to end with these last two because I think it emphasizes how different you can look when you have the father in you, almost as if you were glowing…

You may not be able to tell but the rose in her hair was not there originally, I actually took it from another picture and photo shopped it in. I think it helps with the look. J  

Yah is Still Here

  First off I’d like to say that I’m sorry for neglecting my blog for so long, I just had a lot of stuff on my mind and I’ve been really busy, which is really just a bunch of excuses to say that I haven’t been inspired to post anything until now. So here you go.

   I got to thinking of what I wanted my blog to be about in the first place, and I realized that I don’t think I made it clear, you see the main reason I take pictures (besides the fact that it’s fun) is because I wanted to show people that Yah is still here, even in the small and ordinary things in life,

 I just find it sad thinking of all the people that go about their daily lives and not even realizing that the glory of Yah is right in front of them. 

 Something that I came to realize recently is that Yah deserves all of our respect and we need to be sure and give it to Him, because He is very powerful and you don’t want to get on His bad side.

But if we remember to turn to Him no matter what’s happening in our lives, He will look out for us.

Deu 7:9  “And you shall know that יהוה your Elohim, He is Elohim, the trustworthy Ěl guarding covenant and kindness for a thousand generations with those who love Him, and those who guard His commands,  

  So for this Blog I decided to ask myself, and Yah “How do you want me to show Your glory?” and the answer is simply this, let Him speak for Himself…

Deu 26:18-19  “And יהוה has caused you to proclaim today to be His people, a treasured possession, as He has spoken to you, and to guard all His commands,

so as to set you high above all nations which He has made, for a praise, and for a name, and for esteem, and for you to be a set-apart people to יהוה your Elohim, as He has spoken.”

A Picture Worth A Thousand Words

  I have this picture that I took a few of years back and I wanted to find a scripture verse to go with it, so I did! And even though it’s a short one I think it fits well.

Isa 41:13  “For I, יהוה your Elohim, am holding your right hand, saying to you, ‘Do not fear, I shall help you.’

  Now even though this verse fits pretty well with the picture I don’t think it fits as well with the story. You see before my Grandma died she and my Grandpa came to live at our house for her final days, and I believe it was within a month of her passing when I took this picture.

  I can remember walking into their room and seeing my grandpa sitting by her bedside just holding her hand and keeping her company. And I can’t be sure, but I don’t even think that they were talking to each other, because for one; my grandma couldn’t anymore because of a stroke, and for two; even if my grandpa wanted to talk, neither one of them could have heard it anyway since they were both almost ninety at the time. So I guess it’s just one of those cases were actions speak louder than words.

   I took this picture with a video camera, so the quality was really grainy; although you wouldn’t know it because I spent some time on my computer editing it until I was able to make it look as good as it is.

Before…

After…

  Although it is not their right hands that their holding, I still think the verse works for it. If I wanted to I could probably find a thousand words that would go well with this picture, but instead here are just a few other verses I was thinking about using. Maybe you’ll think one of them fits better…

Psa 91:1-4  He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, Who abides under the shadow of the Almighty,

He is saying of יהוה, “My refuge and my stronghold, My Elohim, in whom I trust!”

For He delivers you from the snare of a trapper, From the destructive pestilence.

He covers you with His feathers, And under His wings you take refuge; His truth is a shield and armour.  

Pro 4:23  Watch over your heart with all diligence, For out of it are the sources of life.

Joh 15:13  “No one has greater love than this: that one should lay down his life for his friends.

  We actually had a picture frame with this last verse on it and I put the picture in it and gave it to my grandpa, and he said he really liked it, so maybe it would have been a better verse.

  Well that’s it for now, and I’m sure if my grandma had seen this, she would agree that this picture is worth a thousand words.   

Fixing a Fence Fiasco

I recently Finished Fencing in our garden so that my Friendly horses could Finally come home. Now For some of you Fencing may seem like a hard Feat, but the Fact is, it’s rather Fun, although I don’t have the time to explain how because this story is about to get Fairly Funny.

Now I mentioned my Friendly horses, but one of them For instance, happens to be rather Frisky.

This Fine looking male can run very Fast if he wants to, almost as if he were Flying.

But un-Fortunately this Fine Frisky horse Feels that he Fancies the Fruitful pasture he was just in, instead of the Fully Filled Field, called our property.

 So when I woke up this morning I was Fairly Fine, but soon after, my Fears were confronted when I Found that my overly Frisky horse had Flown the coop, and that his Foolishness had left him with some “Fingerprints” From the Fence.

(this picture really doesn’t have anything to do with the story; I just thought it looked cool)

Faking like I had grain, I convinced my “Free” horse to Follow me back through the Fence.

(This picture might look Familiar, so don’t Freak out, because it is)

Feeling somewhat of a Failure I Fixed my horse’s cuts and Fed him some real grain so he wouldn’t Flip out on me, then Foreseeing that he might Flee again, I tried to Find where he Fled in the First place.

 (Doesn’t he look Funny in this?)

 Frustrated that I couldn’t Figure out how or where he jumped the Fence, I Focus on the Future and Fixed the whole Fence so that it’s Functional for my Fine Frisky, and somewhat of a Fuss-budget, horse. And Fortunately so Far, there are no more Fatal Fence Fiascoes.

Is it just me, or is there something suspicious about this somewhat of a small sentence in this semi silly story that still seems to be stretching itself out so that it can stand up to these strange circumstances? Sorry about that; ran out of F’s. 
 This last Picture is a little Fuzzy but it’s also in Focus so I thought it would make a Fantastic Finish.

Far-out, Right!?
