1000 Words (more or less)

There is only so much I can say. Simply that death, as so many of us have been told, is a part of life. But is this so? Is death truly a part of life? Or is it simply that life is the smallest part of such a vast eternity. Each breath seems so small...
we inhale,
exhale,
inhale,
and then, after our chest rises and falls many times...it happen upon us that a final breath is drawn and this warm shell we've called home for so long is abandoned. And that is it. We are gone. A faint whisper in the breath of a world that is growing weary of the wind it chases. But, say there is a greater ending than nonexistence. This is the least I can say. That in the midst of a world which has wholeheartedly denied this beautiful ending which I know to be so very real, these images I will share in this journal reveal my Father...an imaginative artist, a brilliant musician, and the very Creator of the life and death we so question.

These photos, some worth one thousand words, many worth more, are the loud shouts of GOD'S creation and an invitation for questions from inquisitive minds.

umm. So your non-photo blog has more photos than your photo blog. Hmmmmmmmm. Interesting, no?

Indeed, but only because my photo blog will be a once a week "one photo" blog about randomness....the other is just a regular blog...millions of photos and all ;)

What an awesome idea. You have such a way with words it is no doubt a God given talent. What I admire more is that you are allowing the Lord to use you as a vessel out of which your talent and love for Him flows. It is very encouraging to see a sister in the Lord used for His glory. The "fruit" that you are bearing is good Mandy. Just a word of encouragement from your brother in Christ. : )
