I love finding new places to take pictures. It pretty much makes my day. Yesterday I went for a long walk and discovered so many new things. This world is a gift and I love to capture as much of it as I can. Enjoy the new pictures

I also just started a flickr The pictures may look higher quality on flickr due to it being a much better site. I will be posting on there as well as here.

A new era

Break this mold, this ever continuing cycle
We are making men without chests
How are we surprised at sharpened teeth
When we are breeding monsters
Sanctuary is on the tip of every tongue
But we continue to raise amoral sons
We detach the heart and beg it to continue to pump
God’s children are raised in blood and fire
And filled with filth and hell
We fill the young with empty air
But wish everyone could pull their moral weight
How can a child be strong when he is raised to be weak
Our hollow chests will bring about the abolition of man

~ somthing by me, but obviously C. S. Lewis inspired

And so we walk

Think about this: how often do you actually walk on the ground verses man made floors and pavement. If you pay attention it's alot less than you would think. Even in parks we walk on sidewalks and paved walkways. Make it a point to walk upon the ground that God made.

Religion

I was listening to two people conversing about Muslems, Christians, and other such world affairs and it got me thinking about Christianity as a religion. It is hard for Christians to have a conversation about Christianity today. There are so many questions that come our way that we can't answer that it's easier to avoid the topic all together. But that's how Christianity is, God left us with unanswereds and open questions. If you sat down with a high scholar of any other religion they could basically hash out everything their religion entails; beginning to end, no questions. Every other religion has its rules and beliefs written down somewhere or known on everyones mind. Most everyone who follows their religion with any sort of fervor could answer any of your questions. But when it comes to Christianity, we don't have all the answers which leaves us conversationally scared. Also, this is a reason that many people don't consider Christianity because they believe it and it's people are flawed. I actually think this is the point that makes Christianity much more believable than another religion. All other religions we're created by man, and there for everything was included, no questions asked, so that all men could see and believe. When they were created they answered all the questions so that men could look through and not have any. God,however, gave us just enough to believe, and we then have to trust on him for the rest. God made it a lot about faith and trust. He doesn't answer all the questions because he doesn't have to. He knows the answers and that's all we need. We only need to have faith in him, not in details. This sets Christianity apart from every other religion. Because it is not man made, it is not completely comprehensible by mans minds. It is so obviously true because of this point, and so obviously complicating at the same time.
