Don't follow the antichrist.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who now restrains it is removed. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders, and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
Have a great weekend!:-]

Belated Slider Sunday image. Flickr refused to let me upload any photos yesterday and this morning so have had to revert to old style uploaded.
Photography is a great uniter of countries, cultures, neighborhoods, families and friends. I’ve started a group named Photo-Phactory. Please share your best images with me.

Many accuse me of indifference and passivity when I refuse to go into hiding; they say that I have given up. They say everyone who can, must try to stay out of their clutches, it’s our bounden duty to try. But that argument is specious. For while everyone tries to save himself, vast numbers are nevertheless disappearing. And the funny thing is, I don’t feel I’m in their clutches anyway, whether I stay or am sent away. I find all that talk so cliché-ridden and naive, and can’t go along with it anymore. I don’t feel in anybody’s clutches … They may well succeed in breaking me physically, but no more than that. I may face cruelty and deprivation the likes of which I cannot imagine in even my wildest fantasies. Yet all this is as nothing to the immeasurable expanse of my faith in God and my inner receptiveness. I shall always be able to stand on my own two feet even when they are planted on the hardest soil of the harshest reality. And my acceptance is not indifference or helplessness. I feel deep moral indignation at a regime that treats human beings in such a way. But events have become too overwhelming and too demonic to be stemmed with personal resentment and bitterness. These responses strike me as being utterly childish and unequal to the “fateful” course of events. (ET 2002, 487)

Refuse pile behind CNC adjacent to Kelowna Rec Field, Kelowna, BC. Ironically, this perch is a trimmed branch that has been dumped here (legally). The buds are doing well in this abnormally warm December....
You've got my back!

"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. "
Henry Ward Beecher
Common Things.... Like a walk in winter.... and, well, Like Cheesecake. Like cheesecake in the fridge at work. And people that tell you.... “Torrie, there’s cheesecake in the fridge!”
(hmmmm, cheesecake!) ... “and there’s raspberry syrup too!” (that’s it.... I’m in!!) Grabbing the cheesecake and putting it on a plate and hoping that
the person that I made a deal with after Christmas to slap any chocolate or cookies he sees me eating right out of my hand and I would do the same for him, doesn’t see me
with this cheesecake because it would break my heart to see it slapped to the floor... and I look up, and he is standing in the doorway.... (busted!) As he says, “Wow. You have some willpower.”
(oh crap!!) And I try to convince him to eat the other piece of cheesecake so I won’t look so bad.... but he refuses. (Darn.... he HAS willpower?!!!) And next time I look up, he’s eating a Funny Bone... and we
all agree that Funny Bones are the best snack cakes every made. Half an hour later, he’s sitting at my desk, eating the other piece of cheesecake.... smothered in raspberry sauce... and drops
a little bit of it on my plate. And we discuss the need for adventures... and other important things ...like what else the raspberry sauce is good on. And I admit, that I would happily eat that raspberry sauce without cheesecake, by the spoonful.
Not a thread of willpower anywhere. And that makes me very happy!

Lac Beauvert - I wanted to see the famous tree, and if you get up before the sun you can beat the tourists and have the whole lake to yourself. Of course, I had to put my Yak tracks in after i took this shot.
The wind has been beating this tree down since the day it was born, but it refuses to fall, It is the struggle that gives it beauty.

Totally wrong camera and lens for wildlife at this distance, obviously. But he was posing here so politely that I couldn't refuse.

My Camera Buddy and I went to Lackford Lakes, a Suffolk Wildlife Trust site for a special guided tour by one of the wardens at nightie-nightie time for the birds - sadly no-one told them that, and they refused to co-operate! We should have known really, Clare and I never have much luck with our wildlife endeavours! We saw a muntjac (common as muck round here!) while we were waiting for the reed buntings to plop down into the reeds, but they decided to stay up late that day, bless! The water was frozen, so the geese and ducks all stuck to the other side of the lake, where there was a clear patch. But we had a lovely time, it was cold, but a beautiful afternoon and we were rewarded with a really lovely sunset.
Herring Gull / larus argentatus. Bridlington, East Yorkshire. 19/11/21.
'BEAK GROOVES.' (2)
A very confiding 1st winter Herring Gull photographed on a harbour jetty.
It follows on from my previous image and gives detail of the gull's beak structure. It shows the grooves down which a salt solution travels, (excreted from the nasal salt glands), in order to reach the tip of the beak. One short shallow groove runs from the widest end of the nostril. Another longer, deeper groove runs directly under the nostril, from about midway. When the solution reaches the beak tip it forms a large droplet and either drips off or is shaken off by the gull.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
