These mythical creatures often take the head of a dragon and the body of either a tiger or a deer, or something else like that. These peaceful creatures appear where wise leaders rule. 4 Qilin present a giant pearl as a symbol of blessings. Thousands of medicine bottles filled with colored liquid make up this lantern.
I wish for us all, the light from the darkness, the light to hold sway over the balance of our year ahead. Peace and blessings.

Fayette State Park, Michigan, 1998.
The grey building was the Sheldon House when Fayette was an active town, and the limestone and brick building in the foreground was the machine shop.
The Garden Peninsula's residents include a number of commercial fishermen, and Escanaba's Bishop comes by early in the summer to bless the fishing fleet. That's the event we're watching develop in this photograph.
This picture works quite well in black and white, by the way; along with the horse-drawn carriages, it has an apparent authenticity which seems quite impressive. Perhaps I'll post that version, too....

I'm a blessed man. Yes, I've had my share of darkness, but I strive for the light, always! I emphasize that notion in every image I put forth! I am blessed. I am blessed. I am blessed. God gave me a gift, and I get to use it now to give glory back to him! I am blessed! I have seen the darkest of Satan, yet I've walked with Angels! I am blessed! I have stared death right in the eyes, yet I have cast it aside and march on. I am blessed! With the love of God and ten thousand men in my heart, I am unbeatable! I am blessed! : ) With the wisdom of 47 years behind me, and hopefully a few more to come, I am blessed! I'm probably the most thankful for great parents who showed me and taught me the way, and equally wonderful friends all over the world now, who stand with me and support my photographic mission. For that, I am blessed. Of course, I'm most thankful for Jesus Christ, who died for us so that we could have eternal life if we BELIEVE and have FAITH. That is the greatest blessing of all. : )
It is Jewish tradition to say a blessing upon seeing the first flowering buds of spring.

Blessed are You, God, Ruler of the Universe, that didn't hold a single thing back in Your creation of the World, and created wonderful creatures and trees for people to enjoy."
(Amen)

His Holiness, Benedict XVI, granted an Apostolic Blessing to Rev. Nicardo P Blanquisco and all the members of The Congregacion de Sta.Clara de Montefalco, on the occasion of the700th mortal death anniversary of Sta. Clara de Montefalco (1308-2008). The blessing was issued November 13, 2008 and signed by Archbishop Felix del Blanco Prieto of the Vatican on behalf of the Pope.
According to the Catholic Encyclopaedia, “an apostolic blessing is a sacramental with which is granted a plenary indulgence.” It should be noted that “the possession of this is not the sole or immediate cause for gaining the indulgences attached thereto by the blessing of the Holy Father or his delegate. But the possession enables the recipient (Congregacion de Sta. Clara de Montefalco) to gain the various indulgences in the performance of certain good works or acts of piety.”
On this Jubilee Year (2008-2009), may the members of the Congregacion de Sta. Clara de Montefalco actively work for the spiritual benefits of this apostolic blessing by living the Augustinian Spirit more vigorously through thought, word and deed.

The Message (MSG)
Matthew 5
You're Blessed
1-2 When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said:
3
"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
4
"You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
5
"You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.
6"You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.
7"You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.
8"You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
9"You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family.
10"You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom.
11-12"Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don't like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company.
My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.
Salt and Light
13"Let me tell you why you are here.
You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth.
If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.
14-16"Here's another way to put it:
You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.
God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
We haaaaaaaaad...the time of our lives...and until we meet again, until we meet again....may God hold you in the palm of his hand. Ole@ Basma
