Mother was tensed about heavy load of people there. So, she was standing behind their building's gate and monitoring his son's movement . She gave his son strict order to remain close to the gate.
Relationship of a mother and a son is the most innocent relation in the universe.And struggle of a mother is lifetime

"What is mankind that you are mindful of them, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor and put everything under his feet." In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.
Hebrews 2:6-8
THE SUPREMACY OF JESUS CHRIST
Today we hear from co-worker, Jan Vermeer:
The inspired writer of the book of Hebrews says that everything was put in subjection under Jesus Christ (2:8). Does His supremacy actually show in the country of North Korea—full of idols, hunger and death camps?
The North Korean Church consists of 200,000 to 400,000 members. Fiercely persecuted, all of them hide their beliefs from the authorities. The church is truly an underground church, divided into thousands of small networks and cell groups. Most Christians hardly know other Christians outside their families. In case of an arrest, not many other Christians are in danger. The most visible proof of their faith is the possession of a Bible, which is illegal and punishable by death. Probably nowhere else in the world are so many copies of God's Word literally hidden underground!
But the church is definitely growing. Many Christians keep their faith secret and are surviving. Open Doors is able to support Christians with Bibles, books, training, food, clothes and medicine. Yet it is the individual tragedies that make it difficult to see, with spiritual eyes, that Jesus Christ is supreme even in North Korea.
For example, a middle-aged man was arrested after the police found a Bible in his home. He is being terribly beaten in prison, as we learn from released prisoners who witnessed it. "His face is deformed. He told us he is certain he will die."
How can Christ be supreme if one of his disciples is tortured so severely? I've known this man for a long time," says a Christian friend of the prisoner. "When he came to faith, he made the decision that one day he would die for Christ. Every Christian in North Korea has made that choice. Every Christian in my country has the spirit of martyrdom in him. If you lose that spirit for one second, you cannot carry the burden of being a follower of Jesus. My friend knew that one day he could get caught, and on that day he had to be steadfast in the faith and loyal to Jesus. I am convinced he can take the suffering because he constantly reminds himself of the joy that is set before him."
The suffering North Korean Christians reveal Christ's supremacy because they look at the reward: Jesus Christ Himself. He is our Treasure. He calls us to Himself, to suffer outside the gate and bear the reproach He endured (Hebrews 13:12-14). The kingdom of the Kims is limited in size and time. The Kingdom of our Lord is eternal and will come with power!
RESPONSE
I will rejoice in the supremacy of Jesus Christ, my Lord, over everything and everyone.
PRAYER
Lord, I too rejoice in the joy set before me with You. Keep me steadfast, faithful and loyal.

We got a late start with these sunflowers, but hope they will flower by late mid/August. Elena is helping to keep them moist during our heat wave.
This is Elena of Avalor from the Disney Store.
I went out to water my garden today and took Elena along to help. I just got her and she was handy and willing to help. I hope to make her a different dress sometime. I've got her little sister, too. She is a sweet character and at only $11, I couldn't resist. I've been eyeing her since she was first released.
She is standing in front of white echinacea which will bloom soon.
The airport is still getting some final touches and I really wanted to take a doll photo so Elena was a good sport. I had not photographed a doll in 6 days and was in withdrawal :)
When primate keepers at the orangutan and siamang habitat arrived for work on November 12, 2018, they didn’t know that by day’s end, they would have one more charge in their care.
The Zoo’s siamangs Unkie and Eloise (Ellie for short) had previously made a significant contribution to the population in managed care of this endangered species: they had successfully raised five female offspring over the years. With Ellie on contraception, their reproductive years had come to a close.
Or so the animal care staff thought. Contraception is not 100 percent assured, and that day, Ellie was quietly and calmly cradling a new infant. And not just any infant, but the smallest siamang the keepers had ever seen. Keepers kept a close eye on Ellie and the newborn in the warmth and humidity of the siamang bedrooms. “Usually, a siamang infant can cling to its mom within a day or two, and can find a nipple on its own. But this infant wasn’t as strong as she should have been,” says Tanya Howard, senior keeper. Fortunately, because she was an experienced and capable mother, “Ellie positioned the baby on her nipple,” says Julie Krajewski, senior keeper. “She is an excellent mom. That’s something a first-time mom might not do.”

I got daily room service while staying in bed for a week. He was so caring and brought all the little things from his brother's kitchen and his little grocery shop. He even provided my beloved toast.
Our little buddy who took care of us, learned to shut the door when asked, camped with us, and shared his life with us for 14 years. I'm Smiling on Saturday!
This is a LONG one, so don't feel any obligation to read below. It's no big deal, just our friendship hangs in the balance.
It started off innocuously enough. A trip to the coast hosted by the Turners had been a much anticipated gem on the calendar for several weeks, and the promise of relatively dry conditions put a little extra spring in my accelerator foot crossing the coastal mountain range. It turned out our buddy Andrew was going to be at the coast as well, so a little coordination was sure to yield some good times. Don't all stories of death and terror start out just so?
We settled into our shooting positions around these rocks, and took stock of the ripening conditions, senses tingling with anticipation. If you think this sunset was pretty good, you should have seen it off to the right! Unfortunately, my standard comp scramble to find something in that direction yielded the usual, trash-able results.
As I hadn't shot in about a month, I attributed my sunset-panic-flounder to lack of practice. Warmups out of the way, my confidence was swelling the next morning as we tumbled down 101 in the dark to meet Andrew at Yachats, where he had some channels to show us. The slowly brightening world quickly squashed any hopes of a colorful sunrise, but a scramble down the 30 foot, steep, boulder wall was definitely in order. If nothing else, this would be a fantastic opportunity to scout some future locations. After playing "wave dodge" with varying degrees of success, I was taken with the water plumes ripping off the tops of the waves in the strong offshore winds. The better vantage point was definitely above.
As I grappled up the rocks, I marveled at the feat of engineering and erosion control that these rather massive boulders represent. I don't know how successful they will be at holding back the unrelenting sea, but it looked like a heck of a try.
Finally an opportunity to mount the 70-200! Such a trusty lens.... sharp as a tack, epic build quality. Using it makes me feel manly. Feeling my fingers go numb in the frigid windchill instantly clubs that manly feeling over the head, and after mounting camera, lens, and tripod I went back into my camera bag for my polarizer.
Out of the corner of my eye, I detected motion. Instinct and cat-like reflexes took over. Well, at my weight, it's more of a cow-like reflex, but it WAS instantaneous. Unfortunately, that instinct was to flinch, duck, and cover my head, much as I've done in the cockpit when a bird or some poor kid's balloon goes whizzing by the cockpit window at 300 mph. I uncovered my eyes just enough to watch the graceful arc of my camera lifting off like the Space Shuttle and heading out over the cliff in a silent, perfectly parabolic arc.
I've seen this before, having watched Kevin McNeal's camera sail off Rowena and smash into a million pieces on the rocks below.
A gruesome fact: by far the most common last word recorded on airplane cockpit voice recorders that crash is "SH&T". That cold January morning, I learned what I will say if ever faced with a major crisis. I said three "SH&T"'s, one for each boulder I watched my camera gear bounce off of before coming to rest 25 feet below on the rocks. Andrew heard it bounce.
Frantically scrambling down the cliff, I let out a constant gale of expletives at the murderous winds that had taken the life of my Canon 5D II, Canon 70-200L, Gitzo 1325 Tripod, and BRAND NEW RRS BH-55 Ballhead. I don't even want to think about doing the math to calculate how much money we are talking about here.
Are you ready for this? It lives. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but my camera gear is in one piece. There are a few scratches and dings, and one scrape on the element of my lens, but somehow the L-Bracket on my camera and my tripod took the brunt of the shock force trauma. If you had witnessed the massacre, you would have bet me $1 Million that it would be in pieces on the rocks below. I'm telling you, it was a religious experience. Talk about a tough camera!! Way to go Canon!!
The cynic in me says that the inner workings of my camera are hanging on JUST long enough to get me out to some remote corner of Death Valley before they give me a cackle, a thump, and then die.
I guess I'm not supposed to put my website address here, so it's in My Profile if anyone cares.
Eleanor sets up things for me to photograph for "my computer club" as she calls it. This works for rainbow colors...Eleanor will be so thrilled
"I don't regret giving the kraahkan to Tarak. There was something he had to see, and he can take his time figuring it out for all I care. At the very least he's thinking."
-Marn
Marn of the Divided is a fierce warrior who day by day dives into the Sunken Forge in search of kanoka discs and kanohi, though for what reason remains a mystery. However they occasionally hand masks out to those that need them. Marn's seemingly the only one capable of fighting off the sealife that have occupied the forge. For some reason he can breathe underwater without wearing a kanohi kaukau, an ability that's not been seen before.
The Divided have been witnessed to act oddly in unison. Some of the members interact seamlessly, like they are of one mind. Whether they know each other well, or something else is at play, are just rumors. Tarak's state often opposes these thoughts however.
------------------------
Another Divided member is out at last. Marn's concept was in my mind for a long time, but I got a good boost when I figured out that technic hockey chests make excellent kanoka holders. They became a major part of the build.
Marn is actually my first non-CCBS build since 2013 and I very much like the old school effect. I don't count the feet as CCBS since they don't share the bone-and-shell structure.
Either way, thanks for looking.

Some more shots of my "magnolia" study - I hope not to bore you :-)
(and I promise not to post anything for ... uhmmmm .. a couple of hours? ;-D)
Have the best week end!
Is a photo better because of it's content or the camera it's taken with? I took this on a borrowed camera and I know that it would've looked completely different had I taken it on my own camera... It's got me thinking.
This young neglected girl was rescued in one of Nairobi´s slum and invited to ABC Children Fund school where she finds love and care.

If you don't want us to say Merry Christmas, then, Happy Holidays!! There. Ridiculous... I second what Elon said the other day.
