February 21, 2025 – A Simple Prayer

    I'm waiting for Johanna right now. So, I might as well engage in PRPF...Prayer, reading the Bible, praise and worship, and fellowship with other Christian believers. So, while I wait, here is a simple prayer.

    Dear Lord, out of all the people on the earth, you have brought Johanna and I together. I could have married someone in Pensacola, but that is not your plans or desires for my life. You have given me the most beautiful, godly woman. She is so talented, intelligent, kind, loving, and uplifting. I don't know how you arranged this love story, but you, oh, Lord, God of heaven and earth can do all things. You formed all of creation in your very hands. You formed Johanna and I in the womb, and you fit us together like two puzzle pieces of an infinite puzzle. Dear Lord, God, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, we consecrate our relationship to you. May we love each other, may we love our neighbors, family, friends, and also the rich, the poor, the young, the old, the sinner, and the righteous. Let us love them where they are at, and may we share the Gospel of Christ with them and help lead them to salvation. Dear Lord, let Johanna and I be a team for Christ. Order our steps. May we continue to grow in love. Show us what to do with our lives to make the most impact possible in this life.

    And on this vast blue, green orb that is but a speck of dust in the eternal heavens, let us live for you and share your love with everyone we meet. We love you Lord, and we promise to do our best, despite the fact that we sin (we're sinners), but we know, through the power of the blood of Jesus Christ we shall be forgiven. Indeed, we shall be lifted back up and saved.

    Dear Lord, keep Johanna and my (our) relationship pure. Let us not fall into sin, but let us set up barriers in order to combat the fleshly desire that emerges from lust. Let us continue to wait patiently. Let us take our first kiss at our wedding when the pastor allows us to kiss one another when we become husband and wife. Dear Lord, continue to work wonders in our relationship. May we have the most special and unique love story, but I pray our love story is used as a team to lead other lost souls to the Lord. In Jesus mighty and most precious name above all names. Amen!

February 19, 2025 – Love at the Hanging Bridge

Image
     We slept soundly in the middle of the night We enjoyed our morning and went for a hike down to the hanging bridge. We took pictures, and we laid down beside one another on the hanging bridge. We cuddled for quite some time and spoke words of love to one another. It was so sweet to cuddle (fully-clothed of course) by my sweet Butterflyhanna. We are still growing in love. Every day with her is so refreshing...like a fresh spring rain. We cause each other to soar like butterflies, but we are like love-bugs also. Both of us love physical affection, maybe a little too much for this particular point in our relationship. More on this later.      After cuddling on the hanging bridge, hugging a native tree, hugging bamboo groves, hugging each other, and taking many pictures, we headed back to the cottages to pack our belongings. We packed up and Johanna washed off. There is no shower in the bathroom...there is a shower head connected to the toilet water inlet. ...

 I brought two cameras to the Philippines: a Canon AE-1 Program 35mm camera and a 120mm DIY Pinholga Pinhole camera.  Here are more 35mm film photos that I shot with Johanna. I shot quite a bit of double exposure photos.  Each picture turns into a present when it is developed.  Each picture is so cool and unique.  I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as liked the shooting of them.  God bless you and be with.  God is good all the time.  All the time, God is good!
