When I became spiritually awake and I can hear your Word Lord Jesus as You call me forth, my heart shall hear Your every word. You have pressed upon my heart, my soul, my mind, that to be called by name as occurred in 1970, I heard an incredibly special reverence and awe for a spiritual linguistical…
Prayer # 2
For me, and at times, my heart can be confusing. Perhaps I am not a morning person at best. It takes a while for me to un-harden my heart. One way, God can reach inside my depths is through my sorrows. I am more readily tuned to sorrows. I ask the Lord Jesus Christ not to allow me to…
Prayer # 1
Mother Mary, I have been here with you in your Seven Sorrows, and in great gratitude I offer you my life in a total consecration and with great reparations of my sins. I am soulfully sorry for ever having offended you and our Lord Jesus Christ. Please set me on a path and direction to…

What surprised me is I always had in my thoughts the 85mm was only used for portraits but as I set up to take this image discovered the…
Lydia of Thyatira
“And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord…
Coming Together at 3:00 A.M.
Life is just too precious to spend all your days and nights sleeping. I sleep 4-6 hours per night so I spend a great deal of time alone during the early morning hours. This helps me to focus. I work out photographic problems and even write some poetry. The following image I took this early…

Highly Edited Image
We hoped through this practice image to derive a thematic series on women throughout the ages. Although the above image is rated poorly in terms of overediting, we still have the thoughts and vision to create, though not enough models or period clothing with the initial idea to demonstrate a kind of woman like Lydia…
