My pet peeve is the word "so" preceding every sentence.
After the current issue is resolved, consider a graphics card. I recently added one to my already robust system. It made a huge difference.

You are clearly of the Calvinist bent. Therefore we could endlessly debate. There are many passages used on both sides of the question which "prove" the point. Most are pulled out of the context of the whole Bible. A key to understanding is 1 Peter 1-2 Psalm 139:16 Acts 2:22-23. We are chosen by His foreknowledge. This thought is a consistent theme illustrated throughout the Bible. He knows every choice, decision action and thought before He "formed you in the womb". He is never surprised by anything. To ascribe to predestination is to say that I can live as I please. I'm either in or I'm out. My behavior is irrelevant. Why share my faith with my neighbor if his fate is predetermined? I do believe firmly in the security of salvation. The question is whether one is truly saved. Again, back to the question/problem of the easy believism cheap grace peddled today. God is gratified by our choice of Him. That is key to understanding why He gave us free will. Otherwise, we are no different from animals.
You are correct. Salvation is 100% His work. Even the faith to believe is a gift. This message was written for the Church not for/to unbelievers and is very relevant today. It is fully our choice to submit (open the door) our will to His. Even the sanctification process is His work, but without our submission it won't happen. That said, the door concept is still valid. No one comes unless they are drawn, but God never overrides the free will. The choice must be made. The gift is for everyone. His will is for none to perish. Not everyone will accept it. We could have a great discussion over the cheap grace offered today. I fear for so many who express belief in the work of Christ but lack the works (evidence) that it is real. Many live a life tied to the Vine, but not grafted in.
Don't let the learning curve discourage you. Use the numerous online tutorials and start at the beginning. Build you skills one step at a time. Think of mathematics. You don't start with algebra. Or a visual. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. I've been using LR 6.14 for a long time and I am still learning.
Nice! I love looking for beauty in the details. This might make an interesting black and white.
Congrats! But you will find that your "put things away " space will quickly fill itself.

This is very nice. Might this trail once have been a Railroad, we have many new Trails here in Michigan that once we're thriving Railroads, alas they are a part of History now.
No railroad. This section is a part of the original McHenry Dam State Park created in 1939. It became a part of Moraine Hills State Park after an extensive construction project in 1975. It is a jewel of a park and one of the few good things about living in Illinois. I spent countless hours hiking, biking, fishing and photographing in the 2,200 acre park when I lived in Woodstock.

BBF all the way. Set AF mode for AF-C (continuous) Hold the button to track and release to lock. Half press shutter button locks exposure.
RAW only. Second slot (D750) for backup. Plenty of storage space on the PC (cheap these days). Cull the abject failures. Hours of enjoyment being creative in PP with LR 6.14 and PS.
