As a Christian, as a professional and fine art photographer who has witnessed the human condition with a camera for more than forty years, I send my personal congratulations, heart - felt thanks, and prayers to Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of New York, and to all of the NY State Legislators who worked and voted to achieve Holy marriage equality in my state.
"But
let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Amos 5:24

I am the Lord, I have called you in
righteousness,
I have taken you by the hand and kept
you;
I have given you as a covenant to the
people,
a light to the nations,
to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the
dungeon,
from the prison those who sit in
darkness.
Isaiah 42, 6, 7

Offerings, from Pastor James Drury's Monday Morning Ministry
Pastor Alan Storey,
Text: Matthew 6:24-34
February 24, 2011
Preached during Luther Seminary chapel
Do you see why we have an offering when we come to worship? We do not have an offering
to keep the lights on. We do not have an offering to pay the pastor. We have an
offering because God knows that is the one thing that can relocate our hearts.
When we have an offering we give people an opportunity to relocate their hearts.
Where our treasure is, there is our heart.
If Jesus had to print money, this is what he would print on it:
* Handle with extreme care
* Has the power to relocate your heart
* Keep out of reach of the rich
* Taking too much can result in an overdose
* Regardless of the room temperature it should not be stored up for too long
* Works best when given away in the care of others
* Consult your doctor, Matthew 6, if your desire for more persists beyond your
need
Stop being obsessed with fashion, food and finances in the way that you are obsessed
with fashion, food and finances. Granted, Jesus also was obsessed with fashion,
food and finances-but fashion for the naked, food for the hungry and finances
for the poor.

___
The hungry poor shall weep no more
for the food they can never earn.
There are tables spread,
every mouth be fed,
for the world is about to turn.
