Little wizard

We were playing remote board games with the kids today, and Ollie was sitting with Alex. On Google Meet you can turn on “visual effects”, and Ollie thought it was hilarious to wear aviator glasses and a little mustache.

Then Alex turned on the wizard filter, and Ollie loved it.

He probably spent half an hour admiring himself onscreen, trying different poses and laughing as the rest of us played games. Super fun.

Brawley nine-nine

The four missionaries serving in Brawley were helping to clean out a house, and the owner happened to have a bunch of old sheriff’s uniforms in his closet. He didn’t need them, he offered them to the missionaries, and of course they accepted.

They asked me to take a picture of them and “do something cool with it”. The result:

We are creators

God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity in the cloud, the oil in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gives to man the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of finished things. He leaves the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys and glories of creation.
