    Our Home Towns (photo essays Witness)

    Six hours ago I had dinner at Shorty's, a local landmark rib joint.
    I had a digicam with me. Upon departure some nearly random snapshots were taken outside Shorty's.

    But now I wonder if these pictures contain insights or hints useful in the least to Christians.

    How about you?
    Do you have a digital camera?
    Could you take series photos and then allow Jesus to inspire you to see the hidden meanings the photos contain?

    Photos allow us to ponder an instant forever.

    Having done nothing yet, I'll build my photo essay starting now.
    I have no idea what it will become--short and probably pointless, yes.
    But it will be real life.

    Unsaved people are leading pointless lives every day,
    and there are omens afforded by God
    by which to see these tragedies in the offing.

    And now, and so, to work....

    fly to the left if you're going to hell

    .





    Here is a scene of hunger and greeds
    watched by a mortician of human intrigues








    Atop of the joint's Southeastern corner
    sits a lone expectant mourner








    Please Lord that you will guide my pen
    to limn just enough of without and within








    Thank you, Jesus!


    Such people displease us












    Let's zoom in for a closer look
    at the waitress and the cook


    They're counting their tips as fast as they can
    for tithing to God--or rather--satan?








    While above all the bird keeps the score:


    "their goals are the devils' forevermore"







    This place is no church; it has no steeple,
    but, how it attracts the lardy-ass people








    Wonder now if this bird maps out the flights
    for humans caught up in such self-absorbed plights;
    and is it a demon who urges them on?

    "caws indeed
    i'm the devils' spawn"





    Formal Inquiry: "Whither you bid; to the left or the Right?



    Wordlessly answered


    a promise of blight






















    Then the bird rose
    and on came the night.

      Pretty cool. Not the part about the black people, but everything else looks alright.

        Thanks; it's a little rough, being a first draft.

        Say, I did not mention nigras at all.

        Thanks anyway. I'll tithe you a green point for impuning your thoughts.

          I dunno, you said, "Such people displease us."

          I figured you were talking about the black people.

          Anyway, keep up the good work.

            Oh my GOD, Brother Peter, that is no ordinary blackbird! Evidence him appearing in so many of the pictures: Clearly THIS IS RANDALL FLAGG, "The Walking Man!" In one of the other photos I Believe I have spotted his Caporegime, Ratty Erwins, "Bold, Black and Beautiful."

            It's the Armageddon! It's the Armageddon, I say! REPENT, people! REPENT!!!!!!!

            PS I am rather 'faced to say, in front of the entire Congregation, too, that my Home-town was the most unGodliest of places: Amityville, New York. But - you all know what I mean, hah? I have Risen all above it

              Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from my home town, and local ordinances in Freehold prevent photography in public places (you never know who's spying). Sorry about that.

                  Yes, that's true. It is also permissible to pluck web pictures and study them for signs of antichrist.
                  Suggestion for a theme:

                  "You never know when you'll wake up dead,
                  so be Saved in time.
                  "

                  ---

                  PP PS, I like your new custom candy avatar.
                  Its melts in my mind, and not in my hands.

                    Another photo "game"--trains us for death awareness

                    You never know when you'll wake up dead, so be Saved in time

                    -----these are made from found web pics, put in order.
                    The captions and sequencing never change.
                    It's always the same text:

                    "Mother!!"
                    "Yes, dear"
                    "I think I've died!"

                    I'll give a sample (the first one ever made), and then you do your own version as you like.

                        O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



                        God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

                          My computer has a True Christian™ sin filter, so there are very few websites I can access. Only the most Godly and approved by the pastors of Landover Baptist make it through the tubes to my monitor. I hope to have a True Christian™ husband soon though, and he will have expanded priviledges. Of course, my time on the computer will depend on how much he allows me, if he allows me. God willing, I may just be too busy baking for my family and bearing children!

                            This is my hometown. It's called Novo mesto(new city). It was founded by Duke Rudolf IV in 1365.

                            I love my city.

                            Here's the official site:
                            Novo mesto is the regional urban centre of Southeast Slovenia


                            I might paste some of my own photos too.
