  • Fair Warning (2)

    A worthless person, a wicked man, is one who walks with a perverse mouth, who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who points with his fingers; who, with perversion in his heart, continually devises evil, who spreads strife.  Therefore his disaster will come suddenly; instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.  Proverbs 6:12-15  NASB   Will come suddenly – I’d like to believe this…

  • Waterfalls

    I love waterfalls, especially when I can get the water to look silky smooth.  There’s a trick to that.  You have to shoot very slow, like 1/8 of a second.  So you need to adjust the ISO and the aperture to reduce the light of a normal exposure.  Or you can use a neutral density…

    Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you;  Genesis 12:1  NASB Go from – Of course, by now you know that lĕk-lekā’ (lekh lekha), does not mean “Go from.”  It is literally, “Go towards yourself,” an idea we have investigated several times.  But perhaps we need to…

  • Designated Representative

    So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.  Genesis 1:27  NASB Image – Emphasis!  Typically Hebraic, a repeated word acts as an exclamation in a language without punctuation.  So the verse repeats ṣelem (image) in order to emphasize the special quality of this…
