Edward Elgar - Lo! Christ the Lord is born
This video was created from images from my website. He was kind enough to ask for permission first.

Gather
I found this hymnal just as you see it here. The window lighting and reflection in the church pew made this picture for me.

Holy Water Bucket and Sprinkler
Friday the day after Thanksgiving, I went out and took some pictures in The Land of the Cross Tipped Churches. I have taken and posted pictures of this same holy vessel before but this is a fresher composition and I really like the way it came out.

The Lord Of The Harvest
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Pretty As A Post Card
Saint Wendelin Catholic Church
St. Wendelin Ohio
This is my favorite from the Black and White Post Card Series I did in 2012. Sadly I never got back to that project.
A Healing Prayer
A Healing Prayer
At Cana, the Mother of Jesus said to the servers,
"Do whatever he tells you." John 2:5
Jesus, heal our lives,
our broken spirits,
our hearts and minds,
our body and soul.
Jesus hear our prayer;
You know our weakness,
our struggle and pain,
for You too have suffered.
Jesus Listen in love
as you once did at Cana
to your Mother Mary,
and respond in mercy.
Amen

David's Psalms of Repentance (Psalms 51 and 32)
One of my pics was used for an online bible study. How cool is that. And they even gave me credit for the pic. Click on the link to check out the bible study.

ever this day [or night] be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and
guide. Amen.

Real vs Electronic - Flip Phone Tour
Finding electronic votive candles in place of real ones at the St. John Catholic Church in Fryburg took me a little by surprise. They are the first ones I have came across since I have been touring the churches. I would love to hear from my Catholic Followers on how they feel about the electronic votive candle vs a real one.

Eucharist Grapes - Flip Phone Tour
I've posted a picture of these before but I must say I think the Flip-Phone camera did a pretty decent job.

Pieta Statue - Flip Phone Tour
I have posted similar pictures of St. John's Pieta so this will look familiar to some of you. It is such an iconic figure and add that to the back drop mural and it is simply just too beautiful not to take a snap. I caught it today it great window light. Not too bad for a flip-phone.

St. John Fryburg Ohio - Flip Phone Tour
It has been quite sometime since my last post. I took a bike ride today and as luck would have it I went right by the St. John Church in Fryburg Ohio. I did not have my camera but I did have my Low-Tech-Flip-Phone that did have a camera. So while the quality is not up to my standers I thought it would be neat to start a Flip Phone Tour.
The Flip-Phone I am using is a Verizon Samsung - The cheapest they sell. Only $14.95.
