While at the beach I noticed something unusual - the shadow that I expected of the football was not what I was seeing. It was weird to see the vertical elongated shadow when I thought I would see a horizontal one. It was then that I realized how little I understood about the SUN - the shadow was changing each minute as the sun dipped in the evening sky. I had one tiny little idea about how the football's shadow would look but the SUN changed the shadow every minute I was standing there. It reminded me of how fixed and finite our ideas become concerning the SON. How we create a box that we fit our Lord into, never realizing His immense capacity to shine on us, to help us, to warm us, to help us see things in His way.
I see that these thoughts are a bit scrambled and yet I like them - I have underestimated my God so much that I live a life often cast into one solitary shadow.I want to have people look at me and see a shadow that changes and grows with the influence of the Lord on me.
As a photographer I am constantly seeing new and wonderful things in God's creation - may it continue to be so...
