Live In Contrast: Week 1

Week 1

Sam has been here a whole week now! We're having lots of fun with him and enjoying his pleasant, patient temperament. As long as we keep him well-fed, he stays happy and sleeps well, so we're doing our best. Both he and mommy are doing well, and we're all getting as much sleep as we can. He's also enjoying the visits of family and friends, and if everything goes well in the morning, he'll be coming to church.

In my "spare" time, I've been having fun taking photos. You can see them at my photos website.

On Light, Contrast, and Focus

Focus draws our attention to something and makes it clear. It helps us to perceive what is important and what is insignificant. It allows us to recognize things as they are and to see them in rich, accurate detail.

But focus is impossible without both light and contrast.

In darkness, no subject is visible, so attempting to focus is futile. It doesn't matter how good your focus might otherwise be, without a source of light, you cannot see anything clearly.

We need contrast to provide definition as we attempt to focus. A well-illuminated subject that lacks contrast no longer provides the information necessary to adjust our focus, resulting in a vague, unclear image, void of detail.

My goal is to be a lens through which God focuses His light on creation, showing how His ways live in contrast to our own, in order that I may learn to do as He does.
