January 31 I, the Lord, am with you always, until the end of the world. Matthew 28:20 That’s a promise our Lord has made to His faithful people and one that should give us hope each and every day. It’s a thought we can cling to when everything seems to be working against us and […]
Today I was reviewing some images I’ve collected over the past couple of weeks and it occurred to me that I had unintentionally refined my approach to getting photos in my backyard, meaning close to home. Often, as I’m out seeking to add to my collection I hike into the woods, snowshoe along local streams […]
January 30 There are some days in this journey of mine, like today, when I read the Word, think and meditate, and then think again. But, finding the connection between what I’ve read and the images I collect proves very elusive. Early this morning, as I sat in church before Mass, I read and re-read […]
Psalm 95:1 – Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Truth and beauty surround him, he lives in holiness and glory. As I began my day, I knew that I’d be tied up most of the day. As a new member of the Skaneateles Artisans, I wanted and […]
Psalm 37:4 – Take delight in the Lord, and he will grant you your heart’s requests. That certainly was the case today. As has been the case so often on the 120 day Journey, from Christmas to Easter, I was really rushing this morning to try and get my shoot in before the onslaught of […]
This Saturday is the day that Skaneateles has chosen to celebrate winter. There’s a lot going on and I’m happy to be part of it in my own small way. I think I’ve mentioned that the artists at Skaneateles Artisans Gallery have generously welcomed me as a new member and this Saturday’s festival will be […]
January 27 Mark 4:21– Jesus said to his apostles, “Is a lamp brought in to be placed under a bushel basket or under a bed, and not to be placed on a lampstand?” This has to be one of the most often quoted passages from the bible, though not necessarily with the same intent as […]
January 26 In the Gospel reading today, Mark 4:1-20, we read the parable of the sower. It’s a very meaningful parable in our lives if we understand that the word of God is the seed being sown and the type of ground represents the different ways in which we receive His word. Some of us […]
2 Timothy 1:12- I know who I believed. I am sure that he, the just judge, will guard my pledge until the day of judgement. Well, I can’t be audacious enough to suggest that this verse in any way relates to my current photo journey. Still, after a day when I didn’t even get to […]
January 24 In case you’re a new reader and are not familiar with my “journey” let me take a moment to bring you up to date. As it says above, this is the 31st day of the journey. On Christmas Day I decided to challenge myself on two counts. The first challenge was to take […]
