Inside ~ Outside ~ Upside-Down

Inside:

Outside:

Now don't go whinin' about the crummy focus or anything. We're talking two none-too-clean window panes and a screen betwixt me and these feathered friends, plus the cheap, built-in zoom, so they're just not all that bad. Besides, these photos make me really happy, and it's all about making me happy, don't ya know.

Okay, I'm really sorry that this upcoming zoom happens to magnify the irdbay ooppay. Sorry, sorry, sorry. [<---That's me, the birds, and the camera.] Try to ignore it, or put your hand over part of the screen, or just quickly scroll to the next photo. Whatever works for you is fine with me. Just don't get all bent out of shape over some doo.

Upside-Down:

I don't know. I don't. Want me to make something up? My best guess is that I like saying inside, outside, upside-down, so I had to make it work. Was that Seuss or just something knocking around in my own elementary brain? Maybe we could see if that cream of tomato soup is going to come dripping out of the tippy cup, because it's a cinch the SugarPlum wasn't going to sip it out, once she tasted it. Wanna talk about the crookedy part in my hair? Me theither. So we're just done now.

And January is finished.

I have to go choose a February CowNot of the month.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:5-9

Sunlight

After the Midnight

After the Shadows

by James Rowe

After the midnight, morning will greet us

After the sadness, joy will appear

After the tempest, sunlight will meet us

After the jeering, praise we shall hear.

After the battle, peace will be given

After the weeping, song there will be

After the journey there will be Heaven

Burdens will fall and we shall be free.

Shadows and sunshine all thro’ the story

Teardrops and pleasure, day after day

But when we reach the kingdom of glory

Trials of earth will vanish away.

After the shadows

there will be sunshine

After the frown, the soul-cheering smile

Cling to the Savior, love Him forever

All will be well in a little while.

Weeping may endure for a night,

but joy cometh in the morning.

Psalm 30:5

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Psalm 126:5

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8, 9

Our Ducks

We have ducks.

Uncle Kemtrail gave them to us.

We have a lot of ducks.

They like me.

They like me a lot.

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6

That BobDog

Cousin Annie got a beautiful, new room-size rug.

Bob loves it.

That BobDog!

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4

Poaching Is Illegal

...anyway, isn't it? And it should be.

Thought I had it all figured out, didn't I?
"Pride goeth before destruction." (Prov 16:18)

Maybe not 1,000, but this picture is worth at least 4 or 5 unpleasant words:

Thus ends my foray into the world of microwave egg poaching.

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. Proverbs 23:9
