"Trust in the Lord
with all your heart;
do not depend on
your own understanding."
~ Proverbs 3:5, NLT

Have you ever said: gee, I wish I would have had my camera!

Many times I come upon something like the

4 deer that stood next to the roadway, and watched me pass by slowly!

I can never plan on such a shot,

and even when I try to in my dreams,

at the last moment before I am ready to press

the shutter button, they always seem to flee away fast.

I usually try to be prepared, and be ready

for such moments, and am never too far from my camera.

As a photographer, I never know when opportunities

will present themselves, so it pays to be camera ready.

I have also learned that a back-up plan is also a good idea.

Usually when I go on a "photo shoot",

I have been known to carry at least

2 other cameras with different lenses attached,

so I really do have a back up plan in place.

Life is kinda like that too. We never know

what is in our future, and we need

to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

The best thing I can say here is that

I need to do my part as best I can, but not to

worry too much about what I don't know.

It is normal, I guess, to fear that which I don't understand,

and some portion of fear keeps me on my toes too.

Our best source of preparation is

turning to God, and the bible is our instruction book.

Our "back-up plan" is just knowing His forgiveness and

to trust in Him, without relying on our own understanding.

Love to all, Norm
