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

Photo: Night Sky

The heavens tell us about the Glory that God has.  We look up and see a universe that was created, and is now on display.  I remember on an isolated beach in Mexico.  One night, the entire Milky Way was revealed.  I laid on the sand transfixed by it all.  Suddenly, I got afraid and had the sensation of being very, very small.  That awareness has never left me.

Things Worthwhile

Photos gleaned from the pilgrimage through the Valley of the Electrons.  This are in the public domain, but if you see something that you created I will respond immediately to remove it from this blog.  I aim to please.

True friendship is a rare thing
My neck hurts just looking
What a shot

In just a few seconds the day is going to be very bad

2000 Hits!

Celebrating 2000 Hits!

Just arrived at a milestone which I honestly never imagined.  Brokenbelievers.com has just had its 2000th hit!  Thank you everyone for making this possible.  I have a real pumped feeling about this [if you couldn’t tell already] and God is good.
