Welcoming All to Worship, Grow and Serve Together

When you fancy yourself as a photographer, who find yourself looking at the world with a frame around it. I'm constantly checking the angles and lines. Looking at the composition, the texture. I start thinking about focus and depth of field, which lens. It goes on and on.

It gets even worst when I'm looking at the photographs of others. How would I have shot this differently, better perhaps. In the photography art world, I'm critiquing the work of others. I'm judging.

Now an honest critique is not judgmental. You start a critique with whats positive and go from there, in an honest straight forward manor. But as it turns out, that not as easy as it sounds. And as it turns out; it's the same with life as with art. Critiques start sounding like judging. We all need to work on it.

Let me know what you thought of my message.

See you in church.
