Kamera: Olympus IS-100

Kjemi: Rodinal (Stand)
No cropping, no post-processing, film has not been pushed or pulled.
My old student camera from the 90s still working like a charm.
An awesome small ´point-and-shoot´ 28-110mm bridge camera with super fantastic Olympus lenses - which was the reason why I bought it at the time.
Isaiah 40:28–31 (ESV)
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called nin one body. And obe thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And swhatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Lk 15:8–10.
If we think we are not all that bad, the idea of grace will never change us - Tim Keller
23 for fall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 gand are justified hby his grace as a gift, ithrough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God jput forward as ka propitiation lby his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in mhis divine forbearance he had passed over nformer sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
27 oThen what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 For we hold that one is justified by faith papart from works of the law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and sthe uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ro 3:22–31.
K2 & Kennedy Keeping Eye On Spinnaker Lane NY Home Sprinkler Line Winter Flushing - IMRAN™
When Kennedy & K2 barked standing inside the front door foyer I assumed it was another package delivery. But they stayed at the door. Looking out, I said hi to the irrigation company person flushing my neighbor’s landscaping sprinklers. Later when he came around my home on Spinnaker Lane for sprinkler line flushing both dogs kept a focused eye on the man and the mist spraying out of the ground. (See 3D at facebook.com/MyIMRAN ).

Proverbs 5:21
21 For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD,
and he ponders all his paths.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Pr 5:21.
What does the LORD Require?
6 “With what shall I come before the LORD,
and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Mic 6:6–8.

Lamentation over Pharaoh (Ezek. 32:1–16)
This section and the one following it could be considered as one prophecy with two different divisions. The first is a lamentation while the second is a funeral dirge.
Ezekiel once more pictures Pharaoh as a dragon whose feet trouble the waters and make the rivers foul. He will be dug out and thrown on the ground. His blood will drench the land and there will be a cataclysmic shock upon nature. Babylon is again specified as the instrument of punishment and spoken of as the most terrible among the nations.
Thoughts expressed in previous prophecies are reiterated and some new details are added. Both the poetical and prose sections make it clear Egypt will be stripped of her pride. When the land is completely purified the people will recognize the Lord. Ezekiel instructs the daughters of the nations to sing this lamentation concerning Egypt and her inhabitants.
Fred M. Wood, “Ezekiel,” in The Teacher’s Bible Commentary (ed. H. Franklin Paschall and Herschel H. Hobbs; Nashville: Broadman and Holman Publishers, 1972), 513.
This [sense of spiritual abandonment] is one of the most bitter sufferings of this purgation. The soul is conscious of a profound emptiness in itself, a cruel destitution of the three kinds of goods, natural, temporal, and spiritual, which are ordained for its comfort. It sees itself in the midst of the opposite evils, miserable imperfections, dryness and emptiness of the understanding, and abandonment of the spirit in darkness.

"Плод же Духа: любовь, радость, мир, долготерпение, благость, милосердие, вера, кротость, воздержание. На таких нет закона ... Те, которые Христовы, распяли плоть со страстями и похотями" (Гал. 5:22-24).
Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent
71 In you, O LORD, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!
3 Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
5 For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ps 71:1–6.
16 Thus says the LORD:
“Stand by the roads, and look,
and ask for the ancient paths,
where the good way is; and walk in it,
hand find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Je 6:16.
