Huzzaaah!

 

I got some pictures!  This is Thomas, my brother's rat.  Check out his whiskers.  You have to face it, rats are just fantastic!

On this one, I was trying to get a neat angle, but I would like some imput, please.

With this one, does your eye perhaps start at his head and move down his body?

"Oh dear, no pictures!  I'm such a mess!"

And just so you know, I'm available for hire in all your small animal photography needs( just kidding)!

"Sigh....."

      So I had some pictures on my cell phone of a great, big bonfire, but we couldn't get them on the computer. There were some pretty neat ones too, if I do say so myself. Ones that would have worked well with the assignment for this week. "Sigh........". Oh well. What can ya do? I'll have other pictures, so it's not the end of the world. Anyway, has anyone taken any pictures yet? I haven't really, except thoes cell phone pictures.  I'll probably write soon, hopefully with some pics.
Farewell,
Your fellow blogger,

New Pictures

     We went to the zoo, and I was able to get some pictures.  Unfortunately I'm quite convinced that taking a good tiger picture is impossible at the zoo; the glass is foggy with dirt and hand prints, you have to take the picture through bars, or the animal itself is either out of sight, or moving too fast(or being lazy and just sleeping).
     Squirrels don't pose well, either.  At home I saw one in a tree, and was able to run inside and get the telephoto(long distance) lens.  Once he either saw or heard me coming he scurried of to another part of the tree, and I followed, he scurried, and so on.
     Ah, well.  I suppose that's part of what makes photography an art, and I am really liking it, by the way!

Hope everyone is getting good pictures!

Indescribable!

     Yesterday morning the words to the praise song 'Indescribable' came to mind. The song that goes: "Indescribable, uncontainable, You put the stars in the sky and you know them by name", etc.  I think the phrase in the song that I like the best is; "You know the depths of my heart and You love me the same".  Wow.  Big wow.  God knows the deepest, darkest, most wretched parts of our souls and He sent His Son to take our punishment anyway!
    You know, pop culture so often, if not always, tells us that that man is basically good; that if you could see inside some one's heart, you would see their good intentions.  The Bible says otherwise: "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"(Jeremiah 17:9)  If we could look into our own hearts and see how truly depraved we are, it would horrify us.
    And it doesn't even stop there! Our 'good works' are an extension of our own wickedness, because they are tainted by our sinful nature. The Bible says they are dog vomit; the smell of an open grave to God.
     So why on earth would a holy God want to actually save such a disgusting, filthy sinner(especially me)?! To glorify Himself. Think about it. Jesus came to earth, fully God and fully man, to take the punishment that I, you, and everyone in the world deserves! That certainly brings Him a lot of glory!
     Wow. Big wow. I'm not exactly sure how to close out of this, but I pray that you think today about your own sin, how you deserve God's wrath, and how Jesus took your place on that cross. Some people will tell you to "accept Jesus into your heart", but this is not in the Bible, and I still haven't seen it.  Some people say that  Revelation 3:20 points to Jesus asking to enter our hearts.  However, this passage was written to the church and not to individuals. The way to be saved is to repent, and put your trust in Jesus to be saved(Acts2:38 and Heb.6:1), and don't put any faith in your 'good' works(or your dog vomit, however you prefer to say it). God will forgive you, and that my friend, is indescribable!
Thanks for reading!
Your blogging friend, Meghan

My Pictures

Okay, some of these I took before I knew that the theme was 'God's beauty'. I don't know if you will be able to comment right under the picture. If not, just refer to the picture's name in a post, I named most of them. Thanks, guys!

Getting on each other's blogs

Mrs. O, I can get on other's blogs by going to your profile, looking at the blogs you follow, and clicking on the blog I chose to go to. It's pretty easy, and I thought you'd like to know.

Fish Tank

Check out this fish tank! Does anyone have name ideas for them, or is naming computer fish kind of weird?

There it is!
