You are getting some pretty sassy looks.
These are so good Marigean. Birds nice and sharp and the wonderful blur of background. Really enjoyed them.
Such sharpness! Enjoyed all. Glad you got all going once more.
Beautiful! I have been passing these by without pulling this spring. Thinking about the little critters that may need them.
We counted at least 19 deer one evening by the lower pond recently. Wonder what they are going to enjoy in the small front flower garden I am working so hard on these days. A big crow is testing my patience at my birdfeeder. He should know it is for smaller birds only- Right! I shouldn't complain- it is their home also.
Looks like a good variety of landscape to enjoy while shooting.
We too have restrictions in our mountain home area and I understand there need. We chose the electric fence and it absolutely works. If from the moment it is installed you follow exactly what the trainer says to do, the dogs will not cross the line. I can pm info on the company we chose if interested.
That cardinal is outstanding!
All others too.
A gentleman. I feel such sadness for his family. He never failed to respond to comments I made on his wonderful posts. Always gracious, always kind. He captured surfers and the sea with wonderful talent. His work was unique. I will miss you friend.
We can safely look to scripture for guidance. My understanding is that in " the beginning of times before Christ returns", there will be a separation, the sheep from the goats. There are many who acknowledge there is a God but do not understand being born again. Jesus says you must be born again and that is through Him and Him alone. Not one comes to the Father except through Jesus. They know in their minds but have never truly repented and surrendered and received the Holy Spirit in their hearts. When speaking to them about the issue, I have found that if they become hostile you pretty much can understand their standing. Not judging, Christ says you will know them by their fruit. Be patient with them, love and pray for them. That God will remove their blindness and they come to salvation, drawn by Holy Spirit. As far as leaving the churches. I feel this is true to a point. I left my church for reasons I will not state, but I did not leave my God. I still love the folks there and the Pastor. Since I have moved to North Georgia, and have not found a church yet, but hope to. I "go to church by TV. I follow 4 or 5 wonderful men of God and I am so fed by them. I needed the depth of their teaching. There are indeed false teachers on TV but it is pretty easy to know that they are. You can sense when someone truly loves and belongs to our God. Stay in the Word, stay in prayer, live every moment with our Father and go forward serving Him in the ways in which He leads you. Know you are loved by your Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and in Him, no condemnation, only love.
Just perfect! Merry Christmas and blessings.
