Photo: A Boy in Nepal

Life in the Western Hemisphere is devoid of images like this.  When you visit you are typically mesmerized by the things you see, and in actuality, it’s just normal life.

This fine picture comes from www.nationalgeographic.com.  It captures a caring boy in Nepal, watching out for his siblings, and doing his errands at the same time, and that alone is remarkable!

Photo: Embracing Uniqueness

Everyone of us is very different than anyone else.  Think “snowflakes” and you begin to get a grip on exactly how unique we really are.  The Book of Genesis tells us that we are created in the image of God.  And the Bible alludes to a complexity and creativity about human beings that is breathtaking in scope and substance.  We are each uniquely special, revealing the personality of an infinitely, creative God.

This photo helps connect me to an understanding of how we are different from each other.  Each color is important, and each needs to be esteemed.  We find that we need each other, and should regard each person as a special creative canvas of our Creator Father.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
       your works are wonderful,
       I know that full well.
–Psalm 139:14, NIV

Finishing up a time in Grand Junction, Colorado. I’m markedly impressed with the beauty, and the people I met.  Earth is not my home, not by a long shot, but my time in Western Colorado was both timely and rejuvenating.
