Fruitful Friday

Lessons From A Rose

Roses are full of thorns. Life is full of pain.

Live your life like the rose. Spread your beauty and your fragrance, oblivious to the thorns and their potential to cause pain.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.

What Did You Do Today?

What Did You Do Today? What about yesterday?

Here it is 8:15 pm Thursday August 1^st and I’m trying to settle down for the day. The past several months have been a complete blurrr, more so than usual. So much going on and to do, I don’t dare “Go-there”. Those are drama stories for another time.

All of these goings-on have brought to mind something that grabs my attention every time it happens. Have you ever watched a crime drama movie where the police asked a suspect where they were on a particular day (in the past) and what were they doing?

I have. I watch them all the time, they’re my favorite stuff to watch. And, it never ceases to amaze me that the police expect a full accounting of the person’s whereabouts and actions. I would be all the way “up-BLANK-creek-“without a paddle if they asked me that question. They would probably lock me up and throw away the key.

The past couple of days were extremely busy with lots of things to do while grandson Jace was away on vacation. I remember most (not all though) of what I did today. But, I couldn’t tell you one thing I did on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, even if you paid me. It’s just that bad.

Okay, enough already! I’m rambling on and ranting about much of nothing. Anyway, I forgot what I was trying to say here. Guess I’d better go regroup and get myself together.

So, what did you do today? What did you do Monday and Tuesday? What about this past weekend?

Wishing you a beautiful Friday!

A Great Point & Shoot Camera For Beginners

Canon PowerShot SD780IS - Camera

This Canon PowerShot SD780IS Camera is an awesome point & shoot camera for beginners.

Mere words cannot begin to describe the awesomeness of this little camera. That said I will TRY to explain some of the reasons I find this Canon PowerShot SD780IS absolutely amazing. #1: It is teeny-tiny-SMALL!

It's teeny-tiny enough fo fit in the palm of your hand. It’s tiny enough to fit in a shirt or pants pocket. It’s small enough to fit into a purse easily. It does not take up any space, no matter where you put it.

Don’t be fooled by the size of this small pocket-size camera though. It has some un-imaginable features. The BEST feature is that it is a great point-&-shoot camera for beginners like me. Simply point it at your subject, find your subject on the screen, and press the button. That’s it! It is just that easy to use.

Another awesome feature of this camera is that it is also great for shooting pictures on the move. I have captured hundreds of pictures while riding in the car, with the window rolled up. Many were blurred, at first. Then, I developed an amateur system for getting clear focused shots - - on the move. How?

I would look ahead as we rode along, find my target, and focus on it. As the car moved along, I kept my camera focused on the item I wanted to shoot. When the car reached my desired object, I just pressed the button. The pictures came out very clear, not blurred at all. You can’t beat that for “point-&-shoot” for amateur beginners!

This Canon PowerShot SD780IS has many other great features and professional quality capabilities. But this review concentrates only on its ease of use for beginners.

If you like to take pictures and you are not a professional photographer, this is the camera for you. If you want a camera you can point at something and shoot a picture, this camera is for you.

I highly recommend this Canon PowerShot SD780IS. It's perfect for beginners.
