The Piercing Question
Peter’s response to this piercing question is considerably different from the bold defiance he exhibited only a few days before when he declared, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” (Matthew 26:35; also see verses 33–34). Our natural individuality, or our natural self, boldly speaks out and declares its feelings. But the true love within our inner spiritual self can be discovered only by experiencing the hurt of this question of Jesus Christ. Peter loved Jesus in the way any natural man loves a good person. Yet that is nothing but emotional love. It may reach deeply into our natural self, but it never penetrates to the spirit of a person. True love never simply declares itself. Jesus said, “Whoever confesses Me before men [that is, confesses his love by everything he does, not merely by his words], him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God” (Luke 12:8).
Unless we are experiencing the hurt of facing every deception about ourselves, we have hindered the work of the Word of God in our lives. The Word of God inflicts hurt on us more than sin ever could, because sin dulls our senses. But this question of the Lord intensifies our sensitivities to the point that this hurt produced by Jesus is the most exquisite pain conceivable. It hurts not only on the natural level, but also on the deeper spiritual level. “For the Word of God is living and powerful . . . , piercing even to the division of soul and spirit . . .”—to the point that no deception can remain (Hebrews 4:12). When the Lord asks us this question, it is impossible to think and respond properly, because when the Lord speaks directly to us, the pain is too intense. It causes such a tremendous hurt that any part of our life which may be out of line with His will can feel the pain. There is never any mistaking the pain of the Lord’s Word by His children, but the moment that pain is felt is the very moment at which God reveals His truth to us.
O Lord, this morning disperse every mist. Shine forth clear and strong and invigoratingly.
John 21:17 (My Utmost for His Highest#YouVersion)
Part of a portraiture project. I asked the sitters a question and recorded their facial expressions while they thought of the answer.
Question 1: What does a Harvard PhD gown look like with the hood up? Question 2: What is a Sith lord doing in Betsy's house?
The question isn't "why?", but "why not?". Stylized as an old picture because I was in the mood for it.
Caixa d'água
A pergunta não é "por quê?", mas "por que não?". Estilizada como uma foto antiga por que eu achei que combinava.
Mark Hamill came to Point Park University on Wednesday April 9 2008, to talk to the students about his opinion of Barack Obama and absentee ballets. Jess asks him in a question.
I was on my back patio looking out into the garden when I happened to look down at my largest Butterfly Bush. There was this lovely Question Mark. There was only enough time to snap off one quick shot before it flew away.

This trophic interaction is that of a pill pug using decaying wood as a home and as a food source.
I would think that the most influential species in my location used to be the white-tailed deer that lived there. This was the area they often bedded down in and they made the area their own. However, due to construction they no longer inhabit the area. The current influential species is most likely now the grasses/flowers in most of the floor area. They provide food for the herbivores in the area, a nesting space for the insects, cover for potential prey animals. Without it, the space would be a completely different ecosystem, probably, at most, a tree filled section. At worst it would be muddy dirt and ground with a much smaller species diversity, as the grasses provide many things for many organisms. If you replaced it with an invasive species, the surrounding forest area would be taken over. If the invasive species could survive, it would overwhelm the nearby marshy land, draining the water and the current cabbage plants. There are invasive species that could easily strangle and kill the trees nearby. In fact, in the past we have actually had problems with vine type plants that have had to be forcibly removed before tree death occurred.
One organism in the area is the rabbit (the picture of dead furs and whatnot). The article would say that this herbivore is not limited by food, but by the predators. In this area, that would be coyotes, foxes, and possibly large feral cats. The mosquito would be limited by prey. If there are no prey for the mosquitoes, then they will not be able to breed in the area. The skunk cabbage in the area is probably limited by nutrient flow (and predation?). There is no lack of water in the marshy section, so that is probably not a limiting factor.
Question; There are three different types of ecosystem in my small area; marshland, tree cover, and a grassy clearing. Are these shifting? I would suspect that over time the grassy clearing area will grow into the tree cover, with very little undergrowth. The new trees might be enough to drain the small marshland area, shifting that to grasses; or possibly the marshland is what is preventing the grassy clearing from supporting trees. What is the role of succession in my area?

Day 199. My mother started drinking chinese herbal tea out of mason jars before it was cool. Yeh.
Someone asked me a question the other day. At the time, I'd just shrugged and given a vague, depthless answer. But now that I've had some time to think about it, I think I've come up with a better response.
Why in the name of hell do you like photography so much?
I don't just like photography; I live it, breathe it, see it. I feel it in my bones and in my brain. I feel it at the tips of my fingers when my hands are on a camera; when my finger is on the shutter; when I look at the world through the viewfinder, where the lens is my only eye. I feel it creeping through my spine. I see it in every corner; every twist and turn and bend, and in every sunset and every sunrise. I don't very clearly remember the time when photography wasn't a part of my life.
I love photography because it is a part of me.
For a person like me, who's default physical emotions consist of happy, angry and content. For a person who speaks less words than what goes through her mind. For a person who 75% of the time can't figure out what she wants or how she's feeling. For a person who's capacity to form coherent sentences turns to putty when most inconvenient.
Photography is the simplest and most complicated and most interpretive and most beautiful form of speech.

Question 11:As an amateur shutterbug, I've wondered, at times, if the appeal of photography is (in part) that sometimes it's easier (or more comfortable) to gaze outwards than to gaze within. Is that something that resonates at all for you?
Ah yes, the Mark complex! In this, I am referring to Mark, from RENT... to quote Roger, during Goodbye Love
"...but who Mark are you?
'Mark has got his work', they say
'Mark lives for his work
and Mark's in love with his work'
Mark Hides in his work.
...From facing your failure
Facing your loneliness
facing the fact you live a lie..
...You're always preaching not to be numb
When that's how you thrive
You pretend to create and observe
when you really detach from feeling alive..."
Okay, so that has me listening to a show I haven't in like 4 years. Whoa.
Moving right along!
I think there is certainly some appeal in that. It's certainly easier to look out and capture others lives and struggles... and at times it can certainly be a distraction and avoidance of your own. I think it'd be really interesting to see what my answer would've been, to this, before my first year of the 365 project. For those of you new to my little, crazy, world... A: Hello! B: My first year of 365's was an entire year of self portraits. Every day I got in front of the camera. This meant that on the shittiest days I took an image. I think before then, it was definetly easier for it to be simply a way to gaze outwards. I tended to do alot of street shots in my first year of actually taking pictures all the time... alot of hip shots and candids of people around me, doing there thing. I think alot of that was just noticing others and not paying attention to my own thoughts. At the same time, I feel very confident I put alot of myself into every image. I may not often use words to tell people about myself, but I think that more often than not, my images show me. And especially at times when I'm going through something difficult, there is alot of .. within-gazing in my self-portraits, and other shots. I can remember very specific weeks and time periods where the combination of pose, lighting, and lyrics in my shots, to me, explained everything I was thinking and feeling to the world. Everything inside of me. EG: Ex1, Ex2, Ex3. I mean, there are times when there is moody lighting and the like because it's a concept and lighting I liked... maybe that happens more often, and I guess I'm the only person who WOULD be able to recognize when its one or the other. Interestingly enough, alot of these are also my favorites.
I guess that says that my favorites are the ones I really go out and pursue because I have a very specific emotion that I need to get out... and I do that via my photos. Which in turn says, to me, that, at least with my self-portraits, there is often gazing within done via them. I think it's certainly easier to look outwards... but I do believe that taking the time to focus inwards and concentrate on the things is important... and I like to think I do that.
Did I answer this? Call me out on it if I somehow missed the point in my blathering on.

The stones are asking "how long are we gonna have to be covered in ice?"
I didn't notice this until I'd downloaded the images from my camera. I love visual surprises.

Yes, this is probably the bazillionth time you've all seen her. Well she was relisted TWICE on ebay and didn't sell, and now she's on etsy, which is where she'll stay until someone adopts her.
She's available at my etsy shop: www.etsy.com/listing/104294636/frankie-stein-monster-high...
