Day 14: Technology

Hard to believe that this was modern technology at one time!

  I love looking at old cameras though and I would like to eventually get a working vintage film camera and do a shoot with it.

Day 13: You with 13 items

Those of you who have known me for some time will know that I love to read.  A lot! :o)

When the 13 item challenge came up today, my mind first went to my bookshelf at my office, so I ran over there and picked out a few books that I have enjoyed over the years.

These are not necessarily my all time favorite books, but I can say they all are great reading material!

So, what is a favorite book of yours?  

Share your favorite book (or two) in the comment section below!

Day 12: Eyes

Okay, I know, scary, right?  But hey, if you can get over the fact that there is a huge eyeball on your screen, you can start to appreciate the sight that God has given to us.

Truly the eye is one of the most complex designs in the human body.   

I am grateful that I have been gifted with good sight.

Day 11: Something Blue

Day 10: A Childhood Memory

 Day 10 of the challenge is a childhood memory.  I have tons of memories that are much more important than this one, but this is one of the extra fun memories that I have from my childhood.

I remember going to the library and picking out all sorts of books on different subjects from fascinating tales of adventure to historic stories of great men and women.  Before I left the library though, I always made sure to stop by the Calvin and Hobbes section and pick up one of the comic collection books.  Mom would only let me get one Calvin and Hobbes at a time, otherwise I may have checked out all 5 of them every time! :o)

I enjoyed the craziness of Calvin's ornery world, and I still enjoy reading these and catching the deeper life meanings that are tucked into some of the strips.

Are any of you fans of Calvin Hobbes?  Leave a comment below and tell me who your favorite character was!  Mine would have to be Spaceman Spiff (One of Calvin's secret identities.)

 So true...."Mom speak" can be so different from "kid speak".

 Don't we all get a little too prideful of our power at times?  It's good to know that a merciful God is really in charge and not us!

 

And this one just makes me laugh every time I read it. :o)

Day 9: Sunset

I decided to post day 9 a few hours early when I saw this beautiful sunset this evening!  

Our God is not only powerful, but he is also artistic and the creator of everything that is beautiful.

Let's make sure we take time out of our busy lives to appreciate the things in life that are free, yet so priceless.

Day 8: A Bad Habit

Day 8 is supposed to be a picture of a bad habit, so I chose out of the many options....junk food!

And so comes the age old question, why are things that taste so good, so bad for you? :o)

And by the way, York Peppermint Patties are not a weakness of mine, I just let them represent all candy bars and junk food because they make the best faces!  (Try carving a face into a Hershey's bar, it doesn't work so good.)
