I am thankful that my spouse makes mistakes with our kids.
If
he didn't, they might not learn humility; when he fails in what he says
or does in the parenting department, he takes the time to go to them,
admit he was wrong, and make it right.
I am thankful that my spouse doesn't always treat me like a princess.
I
am sure it'd be nice – at least for a while – to be spoiled at every
turn and always get my way. But there are times that, quite frankly, I
am just being a brat, and I need him to stand up to me and tell me so.
I am thankful that my spouse doesn't always say the right thing.
If he did, I might not see Matthew 5:23-24 modeled.
I am thankful that my spouse doesn't always think I am beautiful – either inside or out.
If he did, he might not tell me about that chunk of food stuck in my teeth. I probably wouldn't care what I ate or if I ever ran another mile. And even more than that, I'd never have anything bigger and better to strive for in character, grace, and mercy.
He's not perfect, to be sure. But thank God, because neither am I!
And the truth is, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Because you can never have enough pine shavings.
Forgive me all for sharing this,,,,,,,,,,,,
Here is the full text of the "prayer for Obama" that has excited some controversy. From Psalm 109:
May his days be few;
may another seize his goods!
May his children be fatherless,
and his wife a widow!
May his children wander about and beg;
may they be driven out of the ruins they inhabit!
May the creditor seize all that he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!
let there be none to extend kindness to him,
nor any to pity his fatherless children!
May his posterity be cut off;
may his name be blotted out in the second generation!
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!
Let them be before the lord continually;
and may his memory be cut off from the earth! {Psa 109:6-15 RSV}

毎月、カメラマンのsasurauさんが主催するブ写会（ブラブラ写真会）が行われているのだけど、5月からsasurauさんに誘って頂いていたのになんだかんだとずっと行きそびれてしまっていた。今日こそはと気合いを入れてようやく参加してきましたよ。今回のお題は「紅葉愛でておいしいうどん」。場所は秦野周辺の丘陵で、お昼込みで5時間の行程。
使ったカメラはNIKON D90とPolaroid SX-70。秦野駅から白笹神社までをD90、白笹神社入り口からお昼を食べた白笹うどん、震生湖までをSX-70。震生湖から渋川駅まで再度D90と使い分けての撮影にしてみた。いい感じで撮れたけど結構ファイル数が多いので整理でき次第（近日中に）再ブログ予定。
まずはささっとiPhoneから私とsasurauさんが投稿した写真で振り返リエントリー：
お題にもあったうどんは白笹稲荷神社名物「白笹うどん」。ざると悩んだけど、肉味噌うどんをチョイス。おいしかったー。
ポラロイドは2パック20枚撮影。さすがに使用期限が切れてから5カ月経っているので何枚か液漏れや過度露出などが出てしまい使い物にならなかったけど、それでも十分いい写真が撮れた。とうとう手元にあるのは1パックを残すのみ…大切に使おう。
震生湖（しんせいこ：関東大震災でできた日本で一番新しい自然湖）から渋川駅に向かう丘陵の途中で小休憩。みかん畑やとうもろこし畑、牛小屋などをのんびり眺めつつ、結構な高低差の道をブラブラ。
ある程度標高が高い場所での撮影だったので防寒対策をしていったものの、いい天気すぎてそれが仇になるほど。結構汗もかき、体力も使い、最後の生ビールが最高においしかったのは言うまでもなしｗ
sasurauさん、みなさん、ありがとうございました！また焚き火やブ写会でお会いしましょうー。
