| Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father is this: to visit widows and orphans in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. ~James 1:27

| In the Earth's Shadow It was so worth taking the time to set up the tripod in order to get this shot of last night's lunar eclipse. Just ask my husband as he is the one who froze was determined to get it. Did I mention that the temperature was in the single digits?

| A Life Changing Book "You're not going to like this, Quan, but I have to say, I've really benefited from Buddhist philosophy. There's a lot of good in it. It has a serenity, a focus that's appealing. It's being used now in business contexts-everything from success seminars to employee mental health enhancement. It helps people be at peace with themselves."
"Who tells you such things, Ben Fielding?"
"Articles. Television. Books. Some experience too."
"Then these things are the voice of Mogui."
"Could we have a little tolerance, a hint of open-mindedness, please? Where do you get off telling me I'm deceived? Somebody needs to teach you to back off."
"Li Quan means no offense. I know Mogui well. I once served him. One must know his enemy to win the battle. I think you do not understand the strategy of Satan. He is a master of disguise."
"Are you seriously saying all those hundreds of millions of Buddhists are lost?"
"Yesu said, 'No man cames to the Father except through me.' I did not make up those words. I simply believe them."
"Isn't that arrogant and judgmental?"
"God is entitled to pass judgment-he is the Judge. You think him judgmental? I do not think he cowers in fear of your opinion. He will not stand before you in judgment. You will stand before him."
~Safely Home by Randy Alcorn This book has consumed me. May it consume me for many years to come.

| Two of the Dearest Folks My favorite portrait of two of the most important people in my life, Mom and Dad.

| Sorrow and Joy "Oh, Mother, I wish we hadn't any sorrow so I could enjoy these beautiful roses!"
Her Mother smiled sweetly.
"There is always sorrow in the world somewhere," she said, "but God sent those roses to you to enjoy. It is right for you to enjoy them. The sorrow and the joy is always mixed up down here on earth, and we have to take the joy and thank God for it, and trust Him with the sorrow."
