photogrpahy, random thoughts, ramblings
if you’re ever in the area of marble falls during the summer around 7:00 on a thursday night, i highly recommend stopping by camp of the hills to view the crucifixion scene. i’ll probably head out there at least one more time over the summer, but here are some pics from last night… view all the images here.
a wonderful scene from Fiddler on the Roof between Tevye and Golde his wife:
“Do you love me?”
“Do I what?”
“Do you love me?”
“You’re a fool.”
“I know. But do you love me?”
“Do I love you? For twenty-five years I’ve washed your clothes, cooked your meals, cleaned your house given you children, milked the cow after twenty-five years, why talk about love right now?”
“Golde, the first time I met you was on our wedding day. I was scared”
“I was shy.”
“I was nervous.”
“So was I.”
“But my father and my mother said we’d learn to love each other and now I’m asking, Golde:
Do you love me?”
“I’m your wife.”
“I know.
But do you love me?”
“Do I love him?
For twenty-five years I’ve lived with him fought him, starved with him twenty-five years my bed is his if that’s not love, what is?”
“Then you love me?”
“I suppose I do.”
“And I suppose I love you too.”
“It doesn’t change a thing, but even so, after twenty-five years it’s nice to know.”
so it seems the new thing is podcasting. i’m wondering if it’s worth actaully doing… i suppose i have an ipod (which incidentally DHL left on my porch this morning, despite there being a big “signature required” label on it) and a microphone for it, so why not actually put some sort of podcast something on there… short, sweet and to the point perhaps. of course, the real problem being that i’m not sure i actually have things that are all that interesting to say, other than reading random thoughts that you could read for yourselves with much more meaning anyway.
i guess part of the trouble with reading for you is that sometimes you get far more richness when you are forced to struggle with what it *could* have meant, rather than reading my (vocal) interpretation into it.
anyway, if someone wants to put some thoughts down on whether or not it would be worth it, then i’m certainly open to listening – and giving anything a try.
of course, well broadcasted podcasting could bring a lot more traffic to the site…

i’ll add a link to it in a bit hopefully. feel free to comment in either place
i blew things up today. what did you do?
downed conductor arcing fault tests. lines like this can lay on the ground (energized) indefinitely in a high impedance fault condition. our lab is famous for doing the pioneering work in characterization and detection of these type events.
redemption.
sometimes we’re quick to write people off, to say thay’re beyond help and hope. we disregard the good they’ve done and say that because of some mistake or sin they are no longer useful or worth being saved.
how unlike Jesus.
the great Gospel message – the Good News that is for all people – is that no one is beyond redemption.
and when people stumble
and when people fall
we
like Jesus
are called to be in the business
of redemption.
i fear appeasement is a dangerous road. it is not unity, but merely the appearance of it. there is no more unity after today than before. we must take care, lest we find ourselves unified around an empty nothing.
took a few pics tonight at the bush library to unwind. here are a couple of them:
