Thanks. There's a long story behind that photo. Short version is: I went out before dawn to get this photo. It was a 3hr drive. I set it out to the desert with my Bible, and it was windy. Pages were whipping around. I took about a hundred shots knowing what I wanted, but most of the photos had the pages mid-turn. I only got one photo where it was flat. That one. I then spent the rest of the morning just praying and getting a perspective. A month later someone asked what verse was at the top of the page. Found out it was Mark 1:35: "Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray" That changed me. That told me that God was real and was communicating with me. I've never looked back since.

You and your wife have a great new year too, (and I liked your picture of the open Bible in a desert!)

Hey Farouk (guessing that's probably not your first name, right?)

Yep, just got that notification. Just replied. I know my questions and replies on here are probably not in line with the contemporary Christian man, but that's my main reason for being here. I like to investigate the Bible and see how others interpret it. And in the meantime it makes me reflect on my own life and how I can grow stronger to Christ, and just who He was and what he expects of me.


Hope your 2013 has started out well, and that you are blessed with health, happiness and prosperity.
