Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature - St. Augustine

That is quite the building.  Did you have to stitch this one?  Are all the rooms used?  Looks like a lot of rooms and court cases!


Barbarian

No, I didn't need to stitch this one, either.   I don't know much about the inside; they wouldn't let me in with a camera.   Government people love to hide from the public; they used 9/11 as an excuse to keep people from seeing what they are doing.   Even post offices now won't let cameras in.

I know someone who was told that the Patriot Act made photographing a public building from a sidewalk illegal.  (totally made up; the Patriot Act makes no mention of photographs whatever)

I was so pleased when the security people at the state capitol looked through my bag and said "Sure, go ahead and take pictures in here."

Sorry about the rant.   It proves the adage:

"Where the people fear the government, there is tyrrany.   Where the government fears the people, there is freedom."

Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature - St. Augustine

JudyB

Amen.  Thing is we have been raised to fear government.  Doctors are gods, not to be questioned.  It is sad really.  I hope the upcoming generations have their eyes wide open.
