171/365 ~ Reveal | Inspiration | Display | How To
Oh it's been a long day and this is all I have to share for the prompt today... This is my view when I sit at my computer. I like to display my photos in many different ways. Those photos on the wall are on old pieces of wood and I actually have quite a few of those displayed around my home. I love the rustic look of it. Another fun way I like to display my photos is to change the desktop background on my computer.

I am embarking on a new experience called 21 Day Detox "Switch on Your Brain." I am going to be fixing the toxic thoughts that have wormed their way into my brain. Dr. Caroline Leaf is amazing! I am excited to start this journey. This was the perfect journal for me to use for this too. 168/365 ~ Old School | Play | By Hand | Entertainment
We love playing cards in our home. I looked up a bit of history of playing cards and according to what I found, cards may have been invented around the 9th century AD in China. However, my favorite thing about a deck of cards is this story (which I learned is from 1762): A young soldier was in his bunkhouse all alone one Sunday morning. It was quiet that day, the guns and the mortars, for some reason, hadn't made a noise. The young soldier knew it was Sunday, the holiest day of the week. As he was sitting there, he got out an old deck of cards and laid them out across his bunk. Just then, his Sargent came in and asked, "Why aren't you with the rest of the platoon?" The soldier replied, "I thought I would stay behind and spend some time with the Lord." The Sargent said, "Looks like you're going to play cards." The solider said, "No sir, you see, since we are not allowed to have Bibles or other spiritual books in this country, I've decided to talk to the Lord by studying this deck of cards." The Sargent asked in disbelief, "How will you do that?" The soldier replied, "Well, Sargent... The ACE reminds us that there is only one true God. The TWO represents the two parts of the Bible, Old and New Testaments. The THREE represents the Trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The FOUR stands for the four Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The FIVE is for the five virgins; there were ten, but only 5 were wise and the other 5 were foolish. The SIX is for the six days it took for God to create the Heavens and Earth. The SEVEN is for the day that God rested after working six days and called it Holy. The EIGHT is for Noah and his wife, their three sons and their wives, who God saved from the flood that covered the Earth. The NINE is the nine lepers that Jesus cleansed of leprosy; he cleansed ten, but nine never thanked him. The TEN represents the Ten Commandments that God handed down to Moses on stone tablets. The JACK is a reminder of Satan. The QUEEN stands for Mary, mother of Jesus. The KING stands for Jesus, for he is the King of all Kings. The King of my heart. There are a total of 52 cards in a deck, each represents a week, 52 each year in which to offer prayer and thanksgiving. The four suits; clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds, represent the four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter, each a visible sign of God's splendor. Each suit has thirteen cards, the amount of weeks in each season. So when I want to talk to God and thank him, I just pull out this old deck of cards and it reminds me of all I have to be thankful for. My deck of cards serves as my Bible, almanac, but also a prayer book." The Sargent just stood there and after a minute, with tears in his eyes and pain in his heart, he said, "Soldier, can I borrow that deck of cards?" 167/365 ~ A Picture Within a Picture | Then and Now | Black and White | Reminisce
My husband became a father officially in 2007 then again in 2010. They are holding the photos of their daddy holding them when we were still in the hospital. So much love in this photo! 165/365 ~ Sports | Ground Level | Boundaries | Ball
This is the best I have in my life as far as sports. I was happy to get my hubby in front of the camera today. (He was working on a pattern for TKD). 164/365 ~ Shadows | Pattern | Stripes | Dramatic
Just a little afternoon Bible study while working on my MN tan. 163/365 ~ Off Prompt
I couldn't resist getting a photo of this. Husky is an interesting boy. He is very particular on when he gives love and it's VERY few and far between... He voluntarily jumped up on my lap today and cuddled right in for about 20 minutes before he decided he was done with me. I wonder when he'll decide to come cuddle again... (I didn't want to get up for my big camera because I knew he wouldn't deal with that movement so I just used my cell for a quick shot). |
Danette BadgerThis is my FIFTH challenge! I completed an entire 365 in 2014. In 2015, I tried to do something different and failed miserably so after finishing 2016 successfully I just had to keep going in 2017 and 2018! I am part of an amazing group of talented photographers who post an image from an interpretation of a prompt that we receive every day in our e-mail. It's so neat to see how differently a person perceives a simple word or concept and how they translate that into a photograph. I enjoy this challenge very much and I am looking forward to seeing what 2019 brings! Archives
