God and Nature

When one experiences Nature through the eyes of inner perception, there is nothing commonplace in this kingdom.

Such an approach to Nature requires reverence. In contrast to a casual or indifferent attitude, the sensitive individual looks upon Nature as a sacred creation of God that deserves to be valued and revered.

Just a normal guy that loves God, my wife, life, scuba diving,and the outdoors. Other hobbies, digital photography and computers.

Photography is a hobby, something I do for fun and relaxation. It is so neat to see the rest of the world through other's posts, thanks to all who share their part of the world with us on a daily basis.

 

It has been well over a year since I last updated my profile, so I figured this would be as good a time as any! My wife is doing so much better now, can say about 5 or 6 words, and is thinking way too much. Every time I get up to do something she thinks of somethig for me to do, but I like it this way much better than before. I have met so many wonderful people here on Flickr and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the nice comments and emails that you have sent. This is really a great community, and the photos seem to break the barriers that are sometimes seen on other sites.

I recently attended an arts and crafts fair/flea market and sold some of my pictures. It was really neat to find out that some people thought my photos were worthy of buying. I learned a lot for my first time and will be better prepared next time.

I have been meaning to write this for quite a while, I just wanted to find the right words. This Man is amazing to me. He loves God, his Wife and Family and the World he lives in. I've talked to him on the phone and he has a great sense of humor for someone who has had trial after trial. He inpsires me with his photos, words, poems and Bible verses. When I lose it, I know I can look at his photo stream and it gives back the faith and sense of wonder that I need to go on. He and his beautiful Wife are my Heroes. He's also from Texas, my home State! Briley, Thank you so much for being there and being my Friend and inspiration!
