I'd Like to Add . . .

I've decided to share some of my favorite photos.  I figure that I share ideas and songs that I appreciate (along with a lot of other stuff) so I want to share photos that I appreciate as well.  Some (or most) of the photos will probably be taken by people besides me but the photo in this particular post I found around my house. ___________________________________________ This is one of my favorite photos.  It was taken on a film camera and it's not very good quality  because it's a combination of at least 3 photos that somehow all developed into 1.

You are my reward. I stray but I know You're the only one who satisfies.  All that my soul really desires is all of You and all of me is what You require, God.
