Shadows :: 5/52
The theme for this week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians is shadows. And my interpretation: This is a picture of me and my little girl. It represents shadows in 2 ways. The first is obvious: it is a picture of our shadows. The second: she is my little shadow. She repeats my words,…

The Bible – Book 12
The final book I completed in 2011 was the Bible. The Bible is such a large book that contains so many stories – stories of new life, death, tragic decisions, beautiful surprising endings, intriguing plots, romantic heroes, despicable kings – and above all, the greatest love story of all time.
