Yeah, me too.....the balloons and cake etc. You may be in bed now too MB. I'm really late getting here tonight. Went to son's and kept Em tonight so her Mom and Dad could go "shoot" the school dance. Those are fun shoots. Does JK ever do any of those? This one was at the Middle School. The kids are so awkward and mismatched. Girls head and shoulders taller than the boys. All trying to act grownup and in imitating adults they exaggerate everything.
See you tomorrow, Lori.
Thank you for the belated wishes. Oh, today I got a Mother's Day card from KET. It made me cry. She is like a daughter. she found a card that said, "You make me feel like family." I'm going to tell her that I thought she was family.
Hi and goodnight Victoria (in case you're still here).
Oh yes, we've been shooting the high school proms, winter formals and backwards dance (Sadie Hawkins), seems like forever. LOL. In fact, next Saturday night we shoot the Jr. Sr. Prom.
Tonight, my groom of 38 years is out photographing little ballerinas at a dance studio. He should be home any minute. This happens every anniversary because it is always the same time of year that we are contracted to do the shoot. With the sports photographs, dance studios, high school dances and senior portraits, I think that sometimes Jeff feels like he has photographed every kid in the county...twice! LOL. But, we thank God for the business. Keeps our internet connection going and food on the table. :-)
She is a special blessing in your life, and, I have no doubt, you are in hers also. :-)
LOL. Those are all the things that son photographs too. He is most famous for his babies though. He has gained quite a reputation with his newborn portraits. He uses black and white a lot. Dresses the parents in black so all you see are the flesh parts. Baby feet, baby hands, Mom w/baby, Daddy's hands holding baby. Those are artwork, the location shoots are bread and butter, as you say.
As a gift here are TWO "familiar red square, green circle, and blue triangle" graphics. I understand a certain person in her stinginess only gave you one. :-)
Hi Mama_Bear. Sorry I've been lax in my critiques, but there comes a time when one just throws up his hands realizing it's a lost cause. LOL!
Well, I'm going to call it a night. I hope I can spend time here tomorrow for Maggie's birthday party. Thanks again for the pledge graphic. I love it. I am so looking forward to meeting you. Goodnight and God bless.
LOLOLOL...I do so love your twisted humor. Hope to see you back here tomorrow for the party. Nighty night TTM.
Goodnight, Nan..... would comment on the "twisted humor" thing but I'm too (yawn) sleepy.
I want that cake all to myself.
Well, Maggie can have a bite or two. : )
Well, well, well. Happy Birthday! :)
This terrible practice calls to mind the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 7. It's as if he felt that something dead was strapped to him and accompanied him wherever he went. As children of God, we long for purity and holiness, yet at times we feel helplessly bound to the "dead body" of our flesh. Even though we are new creatures in Christ and we know that the physical body itself is not evil, the tendency to sin is always with us. This causes us to cry out with the apostle, "Who will deliver me from this body of death?" (v.24). Paul answered his own cry in chapter 8. He said that through the forgiveness of Christ we are freed from eternal condemnation (v.1). Then by the strength of the indwelling Holy Spirit we are empowered to do the will of God (v.9). And someday in heaven these mortal bodies of ours will be redeemed (v.23). We are not hopelessly bound by the flesh. Praise God, Christ broke the power of sin! We can serve Him in newness of life. -Mart De Haan
Too strong, it seems, for us to bear; But Jesus says, "Look unto Me. I broke sin's power, so don't despair." -D. De Haan To overcome sin, starve the old nature and feed the new.
