Prayer corner in my sleeping room, where I say my morning and my eavening prayers. The icons of the humility of Jesus and the sorrowfull Mother are printings from Romania, from the place where father Cleopa Ilie lived.

Forgive me my sins, O Lord; forgive me the sins of my youth and the sins of mine age, the sins of my soul and the sins of my body, my secret and my whispering sins, the sins I have done to please myself and the sins I have done to please others. Forgive those sins which I know, and the sins which I know not; forgive them, O Lord, forgive them all of Thy great goodness. Amen
This is the view from the bottom of Snoqualmie Falls taken from the boardwalk which is as close as Puget Sound Energy will allow you to get.
This place is sacred to the Snoqualmie People who used it as a burial site and believed that the mists created by the 268 foot drop brought prayers to the Creator and connect Heaven and Earth.
Today most of the water runs through a power plant except during the early thaw when the falls become a curtain and triple in width of what I got here.
I've been on overtime for the past week and into the foreseeable future which cuts into my Flickr time so I'm generally a day late, sorry, I will keep up just might be a little slow. :-)
This week's FlickrFriday was tricolor, all I had to do was look up from my current spot to see what I wanted to do. A simple image this week, but I think it worked out ok.

I took this photo when I was about 12 or 13 years old. This was my brother, Shawn, when he was about 5. I told him to pose and he decided to pose as if he was praying. I don't think either of us had any idea how prophetic that photo would be.
My brother gave his life to Christ when he was just a little boy, about 9 years of age. I had come to the Lord about a year earlier, when I was 16. Since he was a child, Shawn has had a passion for the things of God, and definitely became a man of prayer, and eventually, did ministerial work. He has served as a pastor, and even had a radio show for a while, trying to reach out to the community in which we live.
Now, I am asking for prayers for my brother. Last night when I got home from work, he was waiting in the driveway, and asked me to bring him to the hospital. He was short of breath, gasping, and said he had had a coughing "fit" and coughed up blood. We rushed to the emergency room, and thanks to a dear friend who is a nurse, said the necessary things to get him in ahead of other people. She felt that he might have a pulmonary embolism, and told me he HAD to get in there right away or it could be fatal. So, she told me to threaten to call Morgan & Morgan, a local law firm that specializes in law suits! Sure enough, they took him in next, and since some people had been there for hours, that was pretty impressive!
We were there for hours, waiting for a bed to free up, and for tests to be run. His oxygen levels were low, and his blood pressure was incredibly high. I can't tell you how frightening it is to sit in a waiting room, helpless, while your kid brother is in a life-threatening situation. I couldn't help but feel that somehow this should have been me, since I was older. So many emotions flooded in, all the things we'd been through, and the petty squabbles that seemed ridiculous in the light of the situation. Finally, my middle nephew arrived and went back to see him, while I stayed in the lobby with about a dozen people, some who were crazy and having psychotic episodes, and others who were in pain but not complaining. It was like being in an episode of the Twilight Zone!
When my other nephew arrived, he went back, which meant I couldn't, so I received updates through texts. My nurse friend came to the ER and brought me a sandwich, because I hadn't eaten all day and it was 11:30 at night. I was so grateful for that sandwich!
I finally got to go back and see Shawn again. He was a little loopy from the meds, and was getting a headache from the nitro they'd given him. I learned his BP had been 203/ 123! His oxygen levels were up, and the xrays and tests were showing no clots in his lungs. They then suspected a heart attack. He had had no pain, though, so the other thought was that this was all because of elevated blood pressure. We won't know until morning what else they will do, and if he will have to have a heart catheterization. Thankfully, the BP is back down, and he is receiving blood thinner to keep him from clotting.
Needless to say, it's been stressful and harrowing, but Shawn has been in good spirits, making the jobs of the hospital staff a pleasure. They love him, and it's easy to see that he has such a heart for people. Now, people need to have a heart for him. I am requesting prayers and good thoughts for my brother so he will be out of danger and back home soon. It's hard for me to look at my 6' 3 1/2" brother now and see this little boy in the picture, but I still remember all the years that have gone by, and hope for many more to come. Please pray.

Myanmar represents a complete departure from any destination I've ever photographed before. It is a cultural destination, and traveling around the country with two local photographers for nearly three weeks, we were fully immersed.

To Hindus, Varanasi is known simply as Kashi, City of Divine Light. One of the holiest of the religion’s seven sacred cities and as old as Babylon, it is at the core of Hindu faith, culture, and studies. Every day here begins and ends on the Ganges with a prayer ritual call puja.
This place is hell to me
With the devil in my bed
And the devil in this bottle
And the devil in my head
I’ll meet you in heaven again
If you wear that dress again
(i’ll have one more drink, my friend)
Where my heart is kept on ice
And prayers burst into flames
Prayers on fire

Prayer Flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers, and mantras. Tibetan Buddhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficent vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the flag planter and those in the vicinity.
Dharma prints bear traditional Buddhist symbols, protectors and enlightened beings. As the Buddhist spiritual approach is non-theistic, the elements of Tantric iconography do not stand for external beings, but represent aspects of enlightened mind i.e. compassion, perfect action, fearlessness, etc. Displayed with respect, Dharma prints impart a feeling of harmony and bring to mind the precious teachings.
