Inspired by this post - http://365project.org/dieter/365/2012-01-10 - I decided to try my 50mm lens with my cell phone camera. This shot was taken with the 50mm reversed over the cell phone lens. It came out nice and clear, and quite a bit larger than in real life. Cool! I had never thought of trying that, but I think I will do more experiments with this variation on "freelensing."

Blessings:

1. A lightbulb moment – “"Prayerlessness is our declaration of independence from God." I downloaded a free book for my Kindle called Transforming Prayer, by Daniel Henderson. This quote was the first of several (so far) that really struck a chord with me.

2. Kissies. Little Man has started offering kisses. If we ask for kisses he will usually open his mouth and lean in for a kiss…but he loves to play hard-to-get with me. He’ll kiss Ken, Dale, our friend Deb…but he turns his head away from Mama. Stinkbug. Adorable, funny, squishy, precious stinkbug.

3. A good day. This has just been a good day. Nothing spectacular, but nothing unhappy. A good day.

4. Boys’ Club. My boys went to their first Boys’ Club meeting this evening. We only had 3 kids at home for an hour and a half, and I was done with work…I was able to read, play with the baby, eat some ice cream… niceness.

5. God is in control. Whatever happens – whatever curve balls or disappointments come our way – God isn’t surprised, and He has it all figured out. Whew. It’s not my responsibility to control the world.
