Veni, Veni

Filed under: quotes and reflections, random thoughts — Jeff @ 8:55 am

Veni, veni Emmanuel;
Captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.

Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te, Israel!

Praying Mantis

Filed under: pictures — Jeff @ 10:03 pm

Finally got the chance to go out and take some pictures with Seth Friday afternoon.  We arrived a bit late and there wasn’t a lot of action, but some of the guys at the gardens found a Praying Mantis, which we were able to get some cool shots of.

May you notice people around you

Filed under: benedictions — Jeff @ 11:43 am

May you notice people around you who are hurting -
those who cannot help themselves.

May you take time to serve others in their need
without seeking anything in return.

And may you act with mercy and generosity
toward those who are lowly and powerless,
serving Christ as you serve your fellow man.

Two weekends ago (October 25) we went down to Houston for their annual airshow. While not the best I’ve ever seen, I was able to get some fun pictures, and am just now getting around to posting them.

Full gallery is available here.
