Be very afraid.
Sorry I haven't participated very much in Macro Mondays lately. It's a combination of not much time and not much energy!! I wish I didn't have to go to work and could just mess around with photos all day instead!

Man Utd Sack Amorim for Carrick! Liverpool in Crisis & AFCON Semi-Finals
Welcome to The Roger Van Moorinho Show (RVM 197) on Affinity Xtra!
Roger and Marx are back to break down a chaotic week in football! We dive into the managerial merry-go-round at Manchester United, Liverpool's shocking form, and the latest transfer bombs dropping in the Premier League. Plus, we look ahead to the AFCON semi-finals.
In this episode:
* Man Utd’s New Era (Again): We discuss the appointment of Michael Carrick as interim manager following the sacking of Amorim. Was Kieran McKenna the better choice?. With United sitting in 7th place, is the season over?.
* Liverpool’s Crisis: Roger drops a bombshell stat—Mo Salah has only scored 6 goals since February 2025. With the team rated a "4/10" this season, is it time for Arne Slot to go?.
* Transfer Talk: Antoine Semenyo has moved to Manchester City. We discuss why he might be the "big version of Sterling" they need. Plus, is Vini Jr looking for a way out of Real Madrid to PSG?.
* Arsenal’s Reality Check: The team is winning, but something has changed. We debate if Trossard should be sold while his stock is high and agree that if Arteta doesn't win a trophy this season, he has to go.
* AFCON 2026 Semi-Finals: It’s North vs. Sub-Saharan Africa. We preview the massive clashes: Nigeria vs. Morocco and Senegal vs. Egypt.
* Around the Grounds: Wrexham’s giant-killing FA Cup run , Chelsea’s "World Club Championship" win , and the difficulties faced by black managers in leagues like the Scottish Premiership.

Afraid To Stray
"Oh, how abundant is your goodness, …for those who fear you …who take refuge in you, …" Psalm 31:19
Consider two important truths in Psalm 31:19.
1. The Goodness Of The Lord, There is a peculiar goodness of God. That is, there is not only God’s general goodness that he shows to all people, making his sun rise on the evil and the good (Matthew 5:45), but also a peculiar goodness, as the psalm says, for “those who fear” him. This goodness is abundant beyond measure. It is boundless. It lasts forever. It is all-encompassing. There is only goodness for those who fear him. Everything works together for their good (Romans 8:28). Even their pains are filled with profit according to Romans 5:3–5. But those who do not fear him receive a temporary goodness. Romans 2:4–5 describe it like this: “Do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, …" Kindness. Forbearance. Patience. Goodness. But it does not meet with the fear of the Lord, but hardness. That’s the first truth: the goodness of the Lord.
2. The Fear Of The Lord, The fear of the Lord is the fear of straying from him. Therefore, it expresses itself in taking refuge in God. That’s why two conditions are mentioned in Psalm 31:19 — fearing the Lord and taking refuge in him. “…for those who fear you …” They seem to be opposites. Fear seems to drive away and taking refuge seems to draw in. But when we see that this fear is a fear of running away — a fear of straying from him — then they work together. There is a real trembling in the heart of the saints. “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12). But it is the trembling one feels in the arms of a Father who has just plucked his child from the undertow of the ocean. It is the trembling at the terrible prospect of thinking we don’t need a Father. So, cherish the goodness of the Lord. Fear straying from him. Flee from every sin and take refuge in him. “Oh, how abundant is your goodness, …for those who fear you …who take refuge in you…”

I did a shoot with my boyfriend who's also a photographer. As you can see he is really afraid of me. ;-)
