Street Preaching At Denton County Courthouse

On By TimothyIn PhotographyLeave a comment

My wife discovered that Dr. Jason Lisle was participating in street preaching at the Denton County Courthouse this past Friday. We both enjoy hearing him speak about creation, given that he is a real scientist and zealous for the gospel. Since I had never experienced street preaching, we wanted to go and listen.

Indeed, it was a treat. The men preaching were bold in standing up and proclaiming the gospel, even with the occasional heckler and naysayer. Instead of writing about the event, I will share it with you via my camera, with appropriate captions.

One of three men willing to proclaim the gospel as people walked to and fro…
One of a few hecklers from the crowd. He kept shouting that he was saved, but wanted the preachers to be quiet.
One heckler appeared to be listening while a volunteer tried to reason with him.
There were pockets of debate that would spring up while the preaching continued.
Dr. Jason Lisle sitting quietly, listening to the preaching and being ready to answer any questions one might have.
While the godly preached, a rock band played at a local bar. It was interesting to see the contrast between the two messages. One, offering the allure of the world, the other one offering forgiveness and Christ. The humble men on the street corner actually had more to offer.

 

 

 

 

Bad Golf, Good Dishes

Actually, it was an injured arm that lead to the pursuit of more dishes for my lovely bride. I wanted to golf at a course in Canton, TX, home of the First Monday’s Trade Days (the largest flea market this side of the Mississippi). It’s also home to the Canton Dish Barn. For those who are into Fiesta Dinnerware, the Canton Dish Barn is the place to shop.

My wife and I appreciate Fiesta Ware. We like the color. We like the solid feel of the plates. We like the way the plates keep our food off the table, as plates are designed to do. Yes, the simplicity of the plates and the bright colors remind me of… kindergarten, when things were simpler. No confusing patterns. Just simply, color, roundness of plates, and thickness, giving a senses of durability.

A Gentle Reminder

My lovely bride loves to make chocolate candy for me, since I’m such a lover of chocolate. You can read more about that here.

The problem is that we ran out of chocolate a few days ago. She is ever attentive and asked me this morning, while she was at work, to leave her a reminder so she could make me more chocolate tonight. I thought it would be helpful to leave the can of cocoa in a place where she would see and be reminded. Then, to my delight, I discovered we had four cans of cocoa. She is really good about never running out of the essentials. Seizing on the opportunity, I placed all four cans in convenient locations. After all, can one leave too many reminders for the need of chocolate? See the photos and tell me if you think she will spot the conveniently placed cans of cocoa.

Fire Pit

On By TimothyIn Photography2 Comments

It was one of those jobs that I knew I had to do: clean out the drainage pipes under my driveways. Yes, I have two driveways. One for the carport, the other for the husband, which is really just a place for a car under a tree. But both driveways have drainage pipes under them for the ditches out front.

For some strange reason, the previous owner was in the habit of filling in those drainage pipes with large chunks of concrete, asphalt, rocks and anything else he cold find. That led to the pipes clogging up with sediment. And clog they did. When it rained, the water went over the driveway instead of under it. After it rained, the water would stand on both sides of the driveway until it evaporated. I’m sure in the spring and summer the mosquitoes made use of all that breeding area.
