Patience

Coming florals from potted cactus. One of several in the front yard. (Which reminds me I need to irrigate this evening.) Warming quickly. I've yet to turn on A/C. (Reminds me to get it serviced; tuned and gas.) Cool at night. Open windows and ventilate. 

Good day today. Not much sociability at church. Indeed I sat alone for a while in pew after evening Service to see if anyone would approach but no one did, the chats going on peripherally. Had to approach someone myself. Breaking ice. That was it; just one conversation. Sheesh.

Made some Twitter posts. Some good likes. There was one instance of a sense of rejection but can't make too much of minimalist post-postmodern quantum transactions. LOL I got no Amens!

Had to do with theology. Definitely not part of in-group. But think I held my own. No time to explain now.

Luna Palo Verde

Very happy with this picture.
Very lucky to see it. Very nice.

Real Old

Just changed my profile picture to family arms.
Perusing the net, came across old glass too.

Would make a nice bookmark...
but don't use them anymore. LOL

Update on Boredom

Iris, I remember you. How strange.
Is this not most beautiful? Truly...

I reach out again into oblivion. Hmm.

God spare me self-pity. I'm alright.

This too is lovely picture. How I wish, recalling Iris and all, there was a woman to share it with. Wouldn't it be something, given the capability of the Internet, that some old lover sees this and looks me up. How would that be? Yeow! 

I have seen pictures of my ex-wife, of whose status I've no a clue. Formerly quite slim, she's gotten chunky. She holds no allure for me on account of her mean persona and she I'd not care to encounter. Bad luck. But there've been so many since. It would be odd.

A neighbor's yard. I guess I'm feeling forlorn after reaching out to several people at church towards friendship and society. Nothing doing. I've just not gotten any friendly responsiveness; they're nice people but all pretty much set in their lives.

Daisies. Well done! (I have to encourage myself.) Lucky, really.
Good to have these gizmos to make such a beautiful picture. 

Just Looking

Took a ride to Tempe. A few shots.

Night life is over for this old man.

Eyes Wide Open

Nothing happening. Saw this today. No issues, as they say.

Wayward

I worked on this during the pastor's sermon. My new screen saver. Pretty good.
Remembered why so bummed... thought to go see baseball game. No company.

I'm always late. I thought I have myself enough time this morning, but no. I had wanted to get there early for to socialize, but no. Huffed and puffed getting dressed. Getting terribly overweight. Must stop eating. That is my sin. Fill up the emptiness, but no. So, it must be or I will die. Soon. Have to find the motivation. I do not wish to die. I'm being negligent. I am so sorry. I need God to do this.

Got to church and thought about pizza. Tried to follow along with the sermon. The woman at the well again. Everlasting water. Not pizza. Left alone. Fought the urge. Pizza. Had a tub. Took a nap. Got back to church. On time. Said a few hellos. No conversation.

I always feel lonelier after being with people. Left. Here I am. This is William de Granville. Chancellor of England 1302-05; Archbishop of York 1304-15. Sir, I'm lonely in your church. I eat to fill it up. Please, God, help me and maybe we'll meet when I do die. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. What more can I? Wish I knew you.

Small Steps

Ought to be hiking more aggressively where I'm just taking little walks. Got hot last week... should take advantage of cool weather to step lively. Here, a short walk through a nice rose garden. Here before many times and many pictures.

This afternoon, working through the shots, first time I ever felt bored processing. There's just a small variety of types of pictures to make; florals, landscapes, birds. How I'd love to do portraits.

Yeah, get some rich clients!

God Help Me

Had a good weekend, mostly at church. A retreat with some Christian brothers. Good talks and relished connections. Feel very strong in Christ. Was challenged this evening:

Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning;
for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

1 Corinthians 15:34. An older pastor called on me to witness Christ, but I must stop sinning and trust in Him. Be confident in the Lord and watch my step. Be obedient.

Bloomers

Haven't posted in a while.

Not much happening; less to say.

Continue reading and abiding in Jesus.

Would like to go on but seems silly.
