THE DIFFERENCE
There is a difference in the way I feel, to what most people think,
if you should know the truth of it, for sure you would wonder why,
do I keep smiling through it all, for the pain I sometimes feel inside,
would surely take its tole on me, and cause my faith to sink.
I should feel anger for what has happened, to my frail soul,
and yet when I seek what I feel, by searching through my heart,
I am dignified with freedom, from what should surely be despair,
by a peace given to my spirit, by a love that makes me whole.
This spirit God has granted me, has quieted this troubled mind,
by offering me courage, to find happiness from many sources,
from people who live about me, and from those who are far away,
who wish to know this same feeling, that I was fortunate to find.
It is my faith that made this difference, in my life that I'd been dealt,
there really is no secret to it, all it took was for me to release,
the anger that was inside, hidden behind my tears of sadness,
that for years I'd often cried, not understanding why this way I felt.
As small as my faith was, eventually it did grow during those days,
as I traveled on this journey that is my life, and interacted with other souls,
seeking peace for their minds, from the troubles that they suffered,
similar to mine as I discovered, experienced by various painful ways.
As my faith grew I soon found, the hate dissipated from my soul,
my feelings altered from the state, that they had been crippled by for so long,
and left me feeling relief and sometimes joy, as friends I slowly made,
among the people that I came upon, and whose caring has now made me whole.

Some photos from my afternoon
visit to the chicken shack. I go out 3 times a day to check on them. Once in
the morning to make sure they still have feed, and check their water. Once
in the afternoon for a visit. Sometimes I bring them a treat. Like today I
brought out Yogurt. And Once more before bed
These are the photos from my 2nd film roll taken with my Actionsampler camera.
All these photos were taken during last autumn/spring, and I just had the chance to scan them (maybe I procrastinate too much?).
And btw for those unfamiliar with Actionsampler photos, the actions are shown in anti-clockwise, starting from the top left capture.
Enjoy!
This image displays the difference between overlapping HiRISE DTM elevation values. This difference creates problems in developing a clean elevation rendition using several DTM data sets.
When the buffalo move in we usually know winter isn't far behind. But too, they usually have more than one day to lounge on the green spring fed grounds of the lodge before they get blanketed with snow.... not this year....
Differences challenge assumptions.
There is nowhere you can go and only be with people who are like you. Give it up.
Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival.
I created and made these last weekend April 12/13, 2014. Painted watercolor papers and minimal embellishments. I'm making these to bless our church's Missions ministry and more!
An appreciative patient gave this cake to our therapy team.
She asked the bakery person to put the words "Thank you for making a difference" on the cake.
And she asked the bakery person to decorate the cake "with stars in the corners".
D'OH!
Oh well, we ate the cake anyway.
