—2 Corinthians 4:16
Some people are obsessed with physical fitness—daily workouts, vitamins, organic food—in spite of the fact that our bodies keep ticking away in inevitable decline. In our twenties and thirties we think we’re invincible, but in the decades that follow, the eyesight starts to go, then the knees, then the mind. Let’s face it, trying to ensure long-lasting physical health is like trying to stem the tide with a pitchfork!
And while it is true that the older we get the worse we get physically, it doesn’t have to be that way spiritually. Believe it or not, it is possible to get better with age. It’s what the apostle Paul meant when he said, “Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day” (2 Cor. 4:16).
Many of us fear aging with all the trouble it brings. But when we are gradually stripped of everything that props us up—whether wealth, independence, health, dignity, beauty, or all of the above—we are left with more and more of God. So no matter how old you are, it’s not too late to dig deep in God’s Word and invest more and more time in your spiritual well-being. You’ll see the payoffs, now and later. The older you get, the better you can become! — Joe Stowell
Although our outward shell decays,
We still can be renewed each day;
Commitment to God’s Word and prayer
Give strength that will not fade away. —Sper
To get better with age, get spiritually fit.
To remind me of what photography is like in the business area:
Nic, marcus and aloy were down at the jc field with BB boys and some of the soccer team members to play soccer. Shan Kuan was there... and he mentioned about konnichiwhoa! exhibition. To think that his bro could even sell his photographs there... aH... the amazingness of pictures! life through the lens, the heart, the mind, the soul, all these incoperated into a single image!
But strangely enough: 6-6.30pm was not the only time someone mentioned photography to me. A secondary school mate of mine, yong kang, needed a SB-600 flash. He initially asked J. Tee and he refered to me... somehow, when i met him to pass to him the flash... we just had a short conversation on photography. when i mentioned about my preference to photography... he just mentioned about taking it at university level... somehow... i just wanted to go for it....
This is my dream:
To be able to go everywhere in the world... and take the word of God with me! spread it by writing books, taking pictures, and ultimately acknowledge the very presence of God through His works, the people He loves, the things He did, the sins of the world that do not stand in the light... AHH the wonder of it all....
"There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough - there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph. "-Robert Frank
"Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter."
