Canonized: third month

 

Some of the photos I’ve taken with my Canon PowerShot A470

 

I have always been fascinated by photographs and photography. In 1996 I got my first camera, but I sold it later during a financial emergency.

Last year, finally, I was able to afford a digital camera. Today is my Canon buddy’s third month with me. The PowerShot A470 is not my dream camera model, but I’m just starting as a hobbyist and I need something simple, handy, and less expensive. And I’m happy with it. =)

I have captured more than 8,000 photos to date, deleted (and still need to delete) countless ones, and taken a few videos. And I’m still learning with much gratitude and contentment.

Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

~JEREMIAH 2:12-13

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

~Rev. John Newton

 

Amazing Grace is not only a hymn but also a living proof of the power of God to transform lives. A very touching and inspiring film was made in 2007 with the same title, AMAZING GRACE. It is based on the life of William Wilberforce, a British politician and anti-slavery pioneer.
