Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Revelation, 2. 10

According to revelation, a world of peace and love will never happen because man is not peaceful and loving by nature. We are corrupt from conception to the grave and our only hope is faith. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Ephesians 2:7-9. The world is becoming worse in all respects and can only become more-so. The time is not ripe yet for judgement but the time is getting nearer and those who are not saved will face the most horrific misery that we can not even imagine. Before Christ comes, Christians too will be percecuted to an extent that most people would never believe it could happen in the USA, but it will. Christians will be beheaded, crucified, tortured, sold into slavery. There will be no end to what will be done to the Christians until Jesus Christ comes. God bless the Christians.

Sorry Nan, I took those down to put the last photos up...Ill repost them later, if thats ok. Lins

Pretty colors

Catahoulas have only one layer of fur, unlike most dogs which have three, so she feels the heat and cold more.

I use a small kodak sports camera although Ive tried oh so many others, but it takes the best photos. Dont really care for people pictures and seldom take them unless someone asks me to. Also dont really like scene poses or Holiday pics. Most photos I take are on the farm and just what I happen across. About one quarter of the photos I take get binned... One of the funniest photos I took was a large patch of clover which I sent out to everyone on my list and asked if they could find the 4-leaf clover...I didnt know if there was a 4-leaf in the picture but the reaction was really funny cause there must have been a thousand clovers in the snap...was that mean or what... lol

1John 2: 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Dragon Trees grow to a certain height, then the truck spreads, grow some more then spread the truck. This takes years. My aunt says that tree was maybe 15 feet tall/two diameter when she was a kid and shes 63 now. I dont know for sure the age. In the spring, the tree puts out feeler branchs that can sometimes reach out twenty feet from the limb and when the wind blows, those feelers move like they are searching for something. The wind blowing through the leaves makes a whispering sound and when the wind is high, the trees sing. Hard to explain that one except its the leaves and branches rubbing against each other. It can even sound like growls...Trees like that can get gigantic cause the trees have very hard wood. People used to use the smaller trees for fence post cause they seldom rot. The bobbed wire usually falls off first.

This is my favorite: Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.2 John 1:2-4

This tree is prolly a 70 years old, perhaps older, and grows in the pasture south of my home.

That was seriously funny...lol

Actually, I work with very large pixels. I like lots of detail in photos. I guess I will have to load them onto shutterfly and post the URL and remove old photos/post new ones. Thank you nan for you kind offer to help. God bless you... Lins

kodak still has viewfinder on most all of their cameras, even the little sports version for less than a hundred dollars and takes better photos than any I have used to date. Lins

Nope I dont mind.. I thought thats where I put em.. :'(

My photos are mostly very large pixels so I couldnt load them all...God bless...Lins

Birds on a wire..lol

This is a good picture of Lurker. There could be no other name for her cause she is a lurker. She peeks from around buildings, bushes, fences, stumps, trees. She hides behind rocks and stares at you with those amber eyes wondering why people are so STRANGE.

KJV-14 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
