The power of a picture.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

We have all heard that one, in disney movies, from our parents, on the news, and in magazines. It has been proven over and over by tabloids across the planet. Pictures have the power to ruin lives, end jobs, relationships and to devastate.

They also have the power to evoke real strong and raw emotion. Emotion that is connected to the memory of the first look at that picture. Emotion that will forever be in my heart, and mind.

The background on my beautiful MacBook Pro changes every minute. I have hundreds of pictures in a folder that are prepared to come up next. I don't know what connections go on inside this hunk of technology to make them come up or what decides which one comes on next, but sometimes, most times, the picture that comes up next is the perfect picture to me.

God is even in technology. He is everywhere!

Pictures of The first term of Capernwray pop up...Kinsley and I, on a bench together at Windermear Lake...Kyia, Amy, Brady, Libby and I on the tower the very first week of winter school, posing like crazy people...
Pictures of home...Rahne and I at my Graduation Party...Mom, Dad, Carlie and I at the airport in Denver the day I left for school...and so many pictures of this past summer...tubing with Brandon...Carlie on the jet ski...

Pictures so close to my heart they might actually be living breathing things. They dance into my cornea's and awaken so many different thoughts, emotions and feelings inside me it is so hard to remember that they are just a moment caught in time, a moment that is gone, forever never to be retrieved...a moment that can only be remembered through a picture. But are they something more? That moment is also in my memory, a thing more powerful sometimes than anything I have ever witnessed.

But that is a whole other subject...
