OK, another attempt to take pictures of shadows. With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I figured I'd try the love/couple/affection thing and do this heart-shaped rendition with Christine, my wife (thanks, honey!). Why shadows, you ask? Well, today's Daily Shoot assignment was:
Make a photograph using hard light today. Feature the crisp and strong shadows as a major element of your photograph.
My original idea was to have us smooching, but the shadows weren't crisp enough, making it look like our faces were being sucked together. I'll have to look into building a DIY grid to help focus my light and see if that helps for next time.
Processed in Lightroom, with heart shape, gray background, and texture added in Photoshop.

We come together alright in Chicago.
It can be a city of brotherly love.
When we get along... we really get along.
Chicago can be a tough place too.
And when we don't get along...
That's a different story.
Chicagoan's are a tough breed.
Me and this guy... we got along from the get go.

Today I am grateful for being Alive & Well!! My nephew was recently diagnosed with leukemia at age 15 and it really has me thinking about life in general and how sometimes we take it for granted. How at any moment your life can change so drastically. He has lost 30 lbs in the past three weeks and is back in the hospital due to an infection. So say an extra prayer tonight and thank God for your health!! It is such a blessing just being alive and well. This song says it all.....enjoy!
Scripture reference: 1 John 3:16. Sketch by DaQuan, a young man in our church who accepted Christ as his Savior, in November of 2011.
"God has so intertwined our love for Him with our love for others that when we seek God and surrender to Him He requires us to give up our hatred and prejudice. We must love others with His love. And we can only do this through forgiveness." --- Commentary from THE SPIRITUAL RENEWAL BIBLE, Zondervan Publishing.
You had a diverse crowd for something that was as spur of the moment as this vigil. One of the kids showed some enterprise and brought a sign he had made.
Reverend Kimberly Chastain watched the behavior of the White Supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, and wondered why nobody in Binghamton was doing anything about it. Then she realized that she had a church, with a sound system, and the Christmas candles, and she knew a lot of the other clergy in town. She put a post in Facebook that there would be a non-denominational vigil in front of the United Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening. The local newspaper picked it up and posted it, as well. They were hoping to get 70 people. I stopped counting at 200.
haven't done one of these for ages..... so much goodness out there.

This page contains one small photograph of Ellen in the center of the page. Tucked behind the image is a fabric sample from her "ashes of roses" wedding dress, and taped to the left side is a small needlepoint piece that reads, "Love One Another." It is unclear whether Ellen made this at the time of her wedding or after, or whether it was a gift to her. Box 4, folder 4. The Mather-Bush Collection Ms 162. SHSI, Iowa City.

I really wasn't sure what I wanted to go for with this photo. I think I liked this one but it would have been great with somebody else as the model, like my beautiful girlfriend. Unfortunately she wasn't with me when I stumbled across this building just outside of Gatlinburg, TN.
There's a Brooke Fraser song titled "Albertine" and within that song there's a sobering lyric that has stuck with me for years that states "now that I have seen, I am responsible, faith without deeds is dead".

This is so true and as follower's of Christ as well as from a practical standpoint as a we seek to be a good neighbor, co-worker, friend, etc, we have a responsibility to help others (within reason of course) once we know of or see a circumstance. We can always at least pray for others but if you saw someone running to cross the street and they didn't see a car heading their way...I certainly hope you and I would try to warn them or pull them out of harms way!
_
The same is applicable to spiritual danger, relationship danger, the danger of addiction financial danger and more.
_
This may be counter culture but the culture should never stop us from doing the right thing by lovingly reaching out with the hand of help toward our fellow man.
_
They may not accept the advice we give or heed the warning but at least you did your part to reach out and warn them of the impending danger you see them heading toward. It's also not getting into everyone's business or about being right, rather, it's an overall attitude of caring for others and Christ cares for us as He meets the spiritual, emotional and physical needs we have!
_
This especially applies to those with whom we have a relationship of some sort with and over time earn their respect and the right to speak into their lives and they in turn hopefully do the same toward us!
_
"Not to act is to act" - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
_
Let us be people who act in love communicating with grace and truth for God's glory and the good of others!
_
No matter what, may we all do our part to help one another steer clear of the impending danger ahead!

For the most part, we humans -are- like rubber. But we do get wounded at times.
What's so good about that?
It is good to support another.
It is also good to know that you are being supported.
The world might seem really really huge and you might feel really really small. Comparing those things makes -me- feel really, really small too. I'm over that. I've got bigger fish to fry and a few other problems to solve.
Thank you to those who are supporting me and those who are allowing me to support them.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. ~ 1 John 4:7. King James Version. Dahlia photographed in The Dahlia Garden in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, Calif.
The answer from God’s word:
“The work of God continues to advance, and though the purpose of His work remains unchanging, the means by which He works are constantly changing, and thereby so are those who follow God. … All men wish to gain God yet are unable to tolerate any changes in God’s work. Those who do not accept the new work of God believe that the work of God is changeless, and that the work of God forever remains at a standstill. In their belief, all that is needed to gain eternal salvation from God is to keep the law, and as long as they repent and confess their sins, the heart of God will be forever satisfied. They are of the opinion that God can only be the God under the law and the God who was nailed on the cross for man; it is their opinion too that God should not and cannot exceed the Bible. It is precisely these ‘opinions’ that have shackled them firmly to the law of old and kept them fettered by rigid regulations. Even more believe that whatever the new work of God, it must be substantiated by prophecies, and that in each stage of such work, all ‘those who follow Him with a true heart’ must also be shown revelations, else that work could not be that of God. It is already no easy task for man to come to know God. Taken in addition to man’s absurd heart and his rebellious nature of self-importance and conceit, then it is all the more difficult for man to accept the new work of God. Man neither studies the new work of God with care nor accepts it with humility; rather, man adopts an attitude of contempt, waiting for the revelations and guidance of God. Is this not the behavior of a man who rebels against and opposes God? How can such men gain the approval of God?
……………
You say that Jesus has come, but we don’t believe it. Before He comes, He will surely give us a revelation first.
The greatest book of prophecy of Isaiah in the Old Testament never mentioned that a child named ‘Jesus’ would be born in the age of the New Testament, merely that a male infant would be born by the name of Emmanuel. Why did he not specify the name ‘Jesus’? Nowhere in the Old Testament does this name appear, so why then do you still believe in Jesus? Surely you did not have to see Jesus with your own eyes before you came to believe in Him? Or did you begin to believe upon receiving a revelation? Would God really show you such grace? And bestow upon you such a great blessing? On what basis did you believe in Jesus? Why then do you not believe that He has become flesh this day? Why do the absence of a revelation to you from God proves that He has not become flesh? Must God tell man prior to commencing His work? Must He first receive the approval of man? Isaiah only proclaimed that a male infant would be born in a manger but never prophesied that Mary would give birth to Jesus. Why then did you believe in Jesus whom Mary gave birth to? Surely your belief is not one of uncertainty and confusion! …
The Jews of the time all read from the Old Testament and knew of Isaiah’s prophecy that a male infant would be born in a manger. Why then, with this knowledge, did they still persecute Jesus? Is this not because of their rebellious nature and ignorance of the work of the Holy Spirit? At that time, the Pharisees believed that the work of Jesus was unlike what they knew of the prophesied male infant; man of today rejects God because the work of the incarnate God does not conform to the Bible. Is not the substance of their rebelliousness against God one and the same? Can you be such that you accept without question all the work of the Holy Spirit? If it is the work of the Holy Spirit, then it is the right ‘stream.’ You should accept it without the slightest misgivings, rather than picking and choosing what to accept. If you develop some discernment about God and exercise some caution against Him, is this not an act truly uncalled for? What you ought to do is acceptance of, without the need for further substantiation from the Bible, any work so long as it is that of the Holy Spirit, for you believe in God to follow God, not to investigate Him. You should not search out further proof for Me to show that I am your God. Rather, you ought to discern whether I am of benefit to you; that is the key.”
from “How Can Man Who Has Defined God in His ‘Conceptions’ Receive the ‘Revelations’ of God?” in The Word Appears in the Flesh
“Does God have to personally reveal the things to you and let you see and subdue you before you can believe? As a human being, you consider, what qualifies us to require God to personally appear to us? What qualifies us to ask God to personally speak to us corrupt men? And what qualifies us to ask God to make clear all things to us before we can believe? None. So, if you have sense, you will believe when reading these words God speaks. If you truly have belief, you will not mind how God works or what God says, but instead, on seeing that these words are the truth, you will believe one hundred percent in your heart that they are spoken by God and this is done by God, and you will be ready to follow God to the end, with no doubt.”
from “To Know Himself, One Needs to Know His Deep-rooted Inner Thoughts” in Christ’s Talks with Church Leaders and Workers
“… since we are searching for the footprints of God, we must search for God’s will, for the words of God, for the utterances of God—for where there are the new words of God, there is the voice of God, and where there are the footsteps of God, there are the deeds of God. Where there is the expression of God, there is the appearance of God, and where there is the appearance of God, there exists the truth, the way, and the life. While seeking the footprints of God, you all ignored the word that ‘God is the truth, the way, and the life.’ So when many people receive the truth, they do not believe that they have found the footprints of God and much less acknowledge the appearance of God. What a serious error that is! The appearance of God cannot be reconciled with the conceptions of man, much less can God appear at the request of man. God makes His own choices and has His own plans when He does His work; moreover, He has His own objectives, and His own methods. When He does His work, He does not need to discuss with man, or to seek the advice of man, much less notify each and every person. This is the disposition of God and furthermore should be recognized by everyone. If you desire to witness the appearance of God, if you wish to follow the footprints of God, then you must first transcend your own conceptions. You must not demand that God do this or that, much less should you place Him within your own confines and limit Him to your own conceptions. Instead, you should ask how you should seek the footprints of God, how you should accept the appearance of God, and how you should submit to the new work of God; that is what should be done by man. Since man is not the truth, and is not possessed of the truth, man should seek, accept, and obey.”

"One day, when the entire universe returns to God, the center of His work throughout the cosmos will follow the voice of God; elsewhere, some people will phone, some will take a plane, some will take a boat across the sea, and some will use lasers to receive the utterances of God. Everyone will be adoring, and yearnful, they will all come close to God, and congregate toward God, and will all worship God—and all of this will be the deeds of God.
