So I have a mishmash of stuff for you all today. I’m exhausted, so my thoughts aren’t quite coherent enough to share any of them with you. Unless you would like some weird overanalyzation of Diet Coke or something because when I get tired like this, I get wordy in incredibly irrelevant ways. Oh well.
Anyway, yesterday I finally started taking risks with Photoshop, and I’m really proud of this photo. I just used one of the basic filters, nothing fancy, but still it was fun to see what I could do with just the click of a button.
I took the girls to the park yesterday. We were having a long day, and I thought it would be nice for us to take a random visit to the park. We go to the park all the time but never in the afternoons, so it was a treat for the girls.
This was another Photoshopped photo. I’m not quite sure what I did to it, but I still like it.
And here is my little Goose. I didn’t touch this one up. It’s sadly the best photo I got of her the whole day because her hat was covering her face so much that I couldn’t see her eyes in most of the photos.
And finally, I heard this song on the radio today. I hadn’t heard it in years. I have no idea how old it is, but it’s so pretty, and so I thought I would share. It probably sounds awfully unromantic, and I guess it is according to the popular version of romance, but in the end, what better way to express love than to say no matter what, through anything, above and before it all, I will be here.
And I’m going to end it with this quote. I feel a bit weird because this is the second time I have quoted the Bible on my blog which makes it probably the second time in my entire life I have quoted this Bible. Who knows, maybe blogging is making me holy 😉 But anyway, I heard this on the radio this morning. It was read at our wedding as it is probably at most weddings. The second half (which I didn’t include below) is probably more popular, but I like this part just as much. Our motives matter. Our values and principles and intentions and hearts matter. We focus so much on that which we can see and measure, but in the end, it’s that which we can’t measure that possibly matters the most.
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,but do not have love, I gain nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13
Have a great Thursday!
