What A Day!

Two chapters reached completion today. The next one is good to go as soon as I get back to the project. It has been about twelve hours since I last posted so I have been attempting, once again, to discern just how it is that this works. I think another photo went where it was supposed to go. For those of you out there that have been into digital photography for years now, your patience is appreciated. If you have any tips, feel free to share. I've been using my wife's digital for about six weeks now. Absolutely fascinating piece of equipment. My personal preference is an antiquated Canon Eos 620. I have three lenses for it(up to the 80-200)and enjoy the effects I can get with it. The best part of that one is that it has a "me proof" button that I utilize often. More pictures are in the works for this blog thing I've begun. A few more properly pushed buttons and I do believe I will start telling people on my A-list E-mail where this is on the web. You know, until six months ago I was living very happily unaware of the internet and all of its possibiities. Today I get around, see stuff, learn things that I never even knew I wanted to know, and share with people on a daily basis. If I could only figure out a way to make a living doing this I might consider it as a second job.
I pray your day has been good. Come visit as I grow in very small increments. In Christ's Love, Preacher.

This is another go at it. It's probably a routine thing that I am missing, like doing all of the steps in the correct order. Posted by Hello

This is the second day posting to Preacher's Place. I guess since I have found it again and I am tapping out a message to leave on site(may be better than sticking it in a bottle)some of what I am learning to do is working. Yaaaaaaaay! My wife, Cheryl,(if I learn how to upload my photos and my text to the same place at the same time you will have the opportunity to view her)is winging her way down the interstate to meet her sister in Norfolk, NE. We visited dad down in Central City a few months ago where 'Sassy' resides with her third(fourth, I don't know for sure)husband. On the way home I suggested(silly me, who would have thought gas would ever be this expensive)they plan a few days just for the two of them. So they are meeting today halfway between their respective homes and renting a motel for at least one night to enjoy a little "girl time." Might be good for both of them. I pray for their journey and for their time together, that it may be a blessing that they may wish to repeat. There have been wives that I wouldn't trust any further than the front door of the house, but this newest one is a treasure. Christian through and through. The very essence of her spirit instills me with confidence, not to mention the overwhelming sense of love I have for her. So, I am alone, at least physically. I'll be tapping away on my computer keys working on the newest book, playing the grand piano that resides in our living room, and spending the time apart in profitable ways. If you read this and you happen to know the secret of how to put text plus photo on one of these things simultaneously, please let me know. I am easily baffled by technology, perhaps that is why I have the tenacity of an English pitbull when it comes to life's difficulties. I'll stop back again later with pictures(hopefully). In Christ's Love, Preacher.
