Originally cloistered, in what must have been a spectacular temple complex, this row of Buddhas has been restored and the faithful have draped them in bright orange cloaks. This is about half the row and is at Wat Yai Chai Mongkol in Ayuthaya. Sold as a mounted print – May, 2009. Thank you to the buyer.
“All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but the Mass is the work of God. Martyrdom is nothing in comparison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass is the sacrifice of God for man.” / ~ St. John Vianney, Cure d’Ars “While all the sacraments confer grace, the Eucharist contains the author of grace, Jesus Christ Himself.” / ~ Fr. John Hardon, S.J. My daughter, Piper, receiving her First Communion.

Nari_kor-avars Gypsy Girl. Taken in Tamil Nadu State. India. It was 6.03am and I was walking around the gypsy camp and from a distance I heard a young girl singing. As I approached She waved and continued to sing. I could tell she was singing a heartfelt Worship song, and Yesu, Jesus was what I recognised as she sang in her native language. I was so moved and a tear formed in my eye as she sat there singing unto God. After a few moments, My interpretor sought up with me and explained she was singing “Thank you Jesus for Loving me and I love you”. These are extremely poor gypsies and treated as outcasts by almost all in Society. But with God they are no outcasts and he truly loves them. *.

Convento de Cristo. Cloister of John III. Tomar. Portugal. / Wrld Heritage Site / Claustro de D. João III (Cloister of John III): Started under King John III of Portugal, was finished during the reign of Philip I of Portugal (also King of Spain under the name of Philip II). The first architect was the Spaniard Diogo de Torralva, who began the work in 1557, to be finished in 1591 by Philip II’s architect, the Italian Filippo Terzi. This magnificent, two-storey cloister connects the dormitory of the monks to the church, and is considered one of the most important examples of Mannerist architecture in Portugal. The storeys are connected to each other by four elegant helicoidal stairways, located at each corner of the cloisters. / / /

I did this piece for a challenge and it was alot of fun. I worked on it for awhile before I was satisfied with it. This shot started out as a lake shot and I took it into photoshop and played around a bit with it. This was the result, I added the words and merged another shot of my eyes and adjusted the color a bit. Anyways this is my life through my eyes. I have fibro which I believe was caused by my mercury fillings. With Jesus holding my hand and walking with me I have detoxed for over two years and have been very successful at reducing my pain. I believe I have another year of detox and chelation but it has been worth every minute and dollars (lots of dollars) that I have spent. Natural health is not cheap but I feel it saved my life. Conventional medicine could not find a problem wrong but I was so sick and just wasting away. My natural doctor found the problem right away. I have been very successful with this route I chose and would not ever go with conventional medicine again. Well that is the short story which is just a peice of the last two years but as I said it has been well worth it!!! /
PLEASE READ THIS. Taken in a gypsy settlement, near Kallikurachi, Tamil Nadu State. India. This is me praying for the many children who are in great need of help. The Nari_kor-Avars gypsies are under Hindu Religion the lowest in the caste system. called and treated as outcast, they are shun by almost all in India. None of the 200 plus children here attend school, as they are not welcome. Those who can afford the school fees are excepted with reluctance Often refused medical help, and chased from the streets, many are now settling in camps. Their camps have no toilets, little clean water and very little food. These gypsies have no land to farm, and their only source of income is Making and selling Bead necklaces, and bracelets.. They are paid the lowest prices by buyers, who sell them in towns and cities to tourists and wealthy buyers. They need light summer clothing for the children, of whom many are naked and semi naked. I am soon to set up an world wide market to sell their bracelets and bead necklaces. This will bring in much needed income. I have samples and will upload photos of them soon. they also need help with money to pay school fees, Uniforms ect. I am asking those of you who can gather Children’s summer clothing. tops, tee shirts, Shorts, underwear, Sandals and light shoes, to help. they can be sent direct to THE INDIAN NEW LIFE MISSION in INDIA. This is the only Church Organisation working with them. funds are low. if you can help, Please get in touch with me. Perhaps your Church may want to help.
