My Favorite Pic
This pic is actually fairly old, but it’s by far my most favorite one. And it’s got Oakey in it, so that’s a big plus. =)
The Mustang
I love my new car! =D
That’s just morbid!
“The Hostage” – “Escape” – “Turning Point” – What do these three photos have in common? They all are a bit on the dark, morbid side. Those of my friends who know me well know that I am a man of simple tastes – I like gun powder, bullets, and gasoline. I enjoy a good spar; and the more intense the fight, the better.
But do I enjoy explosions, fighting, and adventure too much? I think that sometimes I let my imagination travel too far into violence and morbidity. After all, the scripture says that the fruit of the Spirit is peace, kindness, and gentleness among other things. Would a picture of a man (even if he were escaping from terrorists) shooting another man portray peace or kindness? I don’t think so.
So this post marks new beginning – a new beginning of Christ honoring pictures. From now on whenever I get my camera out, I’ll ask myself, “will this photo show the fruits of the Spirit?” And if it doesn’t, I’ll leave the idea alone – I won’t turn it into a reality.
Actually, it would be an excellent idea to pattern my whole life after the fruits of the Spirit. After all, those fruits are an outward showing of the fact that the Spirit is in me.
One other thing. Levi Schnog is still wandering in the forest, lost. I have plans of resolving that pic; and the way I’ll do it will symbolize my choice to leave the darkness behind.
Escape
For over half a year I’ve been held against my will in a dark, cold, wet basement. My captors were demanding a ransom of $100,000,000 – but nobody ever gave them any money. I decided that it was time to take matters into my own hands. This afternoon, I successfully escaped!
