I WAS sitting in my office talking to myself in that shot. Used my camera timer and everything. ;D Yes, I shot all of these pictures my self. Great Scripture, Melody! In fact, it leads up to my favorite guiding passage for this season of growth in my life, Romans 12:1-3: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."

Great Scripture, Melody! In fact, it leads up to my favorite guiding passage for this season of growth in my life, Romans 12:1-3:

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.

The only small, tiny, itty-bitty critism I have is the one photo of you sitting in your office looks like you are talking to yourself.:)Can't see anyone on the sofa. Of course, you may FEEL like that sometimes in your line of work. Hey, do any of these people listen?! LOL All of the photos are wonderful! Did you do all the ones of the office park? Found a great scripture having to do with our conversation yesterday- "So then , I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin." Romans 7:25 So we know the good we ought to do( in our minds) but the sinful nature (our flesh) in us starts to work. But reading through to the next chapter- Romans 8 we see that God's spirit in us can give the power over this struggle. Can I hear an AMEN!? We think we can "handle" the sin - whatever it may be and still be engaged fully in life. But , unfortunately , it takes over and we don't have the control we thought we did. It makes me so mad that Satan can take almost any behavior and mess it up. Nuff said- God bless , brother. I love the Bubbleshare photos.
