Hi there! I just wanted to make a quick comment regarding the photos I posted yesterday. I noticed that every photo that I posted was taken on the same day - our one-day adventure to Livingston. I was in Zambia and South Africa for four weeks, but found it difficult, if not akward, to pull out my camera in most places that I went to. It's hard ( Read more... )

"'But now take courage, Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD, 
'take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest,

I should be at work, but I'm sitting at Starbucks instead, posting an LJ entry from my PDA as I read my Bible and check the weather (how I love technology). I took the day off, as I've done the past few years, to treat myself to a long birthday weekend.

it's so nice to be alive. I am tremendously happy just being. The Lord, Who has delivered us, ( Read more... )
