Tomorrow it could be the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins. Next week it could be how to bottle and sell all the energy our grandchildren have.

I've been a long, long time gone from this blog and for any readers out there, I humbly apologize for my absence. Often times I bite off more than I can chew, and blogging went by the wayside more than once over the years, as I have several blogs and they are all way overdue for updates.

Yet is there something--anything that they can be thankful for? An article I just read tonight (well this morning since it is already past midnight) reminds us of 15 blessings that we should not take for granted. One of the points made in the article speaks of freedom of religion.

This has been an eventful summer for someone who rarely goes anywhere. I am still amazed at having my art in an online gallery belonging to a legitimate store front gallery in Arizona. In September I was able to get started on my own business domain, for Capirani Photography and it is connected to the online gallery site as well.

It is sad, really, because Squidoo used to be such a great place to write. But they have become so controlling about what can and cannot be part of the lenses, basing everything on precious Google, so that creativity was being stunted.

So without any other commentary about it, here is the link to this movie. Right now it is free to watch, so please take advantage of that. Set aside time for your whole family to watch.

It seems that the 21st century comes with some pretty strong "buzz words", such as "tolerance" and being "politically correct". The concept of being politically correct actually began prior to the beginning of this century but it did not have as strong a negative connotation as it does today. At first it was applied to changing how we used certain terminology such as capiranihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09372074390499731981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2881931065844580148.post-29688001691452030082013-01-30T16:45:00.003-05:002013-01-30T17:17:53.187-05:00Is It Too Late For America?This movie is the most important movie I have watched in a long time. Please watch it, and if you agree, please share it with as many people as you can. Ask your pastors to have a movie night and share it with the congregation.

You can see many of my Squidoo lenses listed on the sidebar here. But I keep writing more and more and just don't seem to keep as caught up here as I would like to be so you can see what I have been doing. So this post it to give you more information about Squidoo in general, and especially information about my lenses.

I've gotten off the path many times in my life and still sometimes miss a

responsible for myself as well as a family, I was studying The Bible and
especially the prophesies about the end times. Now just mentioning
that, many of you may decide to not read the rest of this post. That's
okay. It's your right not to read it just as it is still my right to
post it.
