Karma is so cool

Ariel map of swamp
Whole lotta nothing. Video below…
Whole lotta something special. (video)
A fond farewell video. Happy present moment.

Karma is so cool.

The quiet.

The slow.

The remote.

The wildlife.

The newness.

The camera.

The mashup.

Mountain headshot

You weren’t expecting a video.

You weren’t expecting a small plane at eye level.

Neither was eye i.

Faintly heard it and correctly guessed the horizon it would appear from. Nice mountain headshot, eh?

Note: Organized enough to forgo a fifth headshot today. Organized enough to have a juxtaposed mountain headshot. To be at eye level with the mountain tops is one thing. To capture an airplane also at eye level to add depth to the visual experience, crazy.

Some visual aids

Ignorance is no defense is a Pastor quote. i added “loud noise” as a reflex response.
Pastor quote above.

A four-part short-video series to document a habitual level of loud neighbor noise for extended periods.

After the video above, the noise subsided for 10 minutes. The PA system was not adjusted. Shot this video and sent it to my neighbor who had just a minute before texted me asking if i can hear the Church noise. Already on it.

The lower noise volume didn’t last long, so the Sheriff non-emergency line was called. The Orange County Sheriff met me at the neighbor’s house (the neighbor adamantly approved of this), agreed on the code violation, and responded at the Church. This helped but required a second call to Sheriff. Five hours of neighborhood disturbing the peace.

Neighbor unhesitatingly allowed me to enter his back yard and go to the chain link fence to shoot the above video.

Ten days later, on December 23, this…our neighbors dealt with this…(video below)…from the public street…

Not every neighbor subjected to the loud noise is a Christian. To disrespect someone else’s peace has a line. Does a religious group get a neighborhood exemption? Week after week, month after month?

Today’s audio and visual aids (videos) support the context.

Being well prepared creates a calm and confidence that every Pastor (even the ones preaching the Gospel according to Walt) needs to walk with.

To be continued…

Laughter is no enemy to learning

Exit door
Please. The video below is funnier than expected. Please use laughter to enhance what you do. But watch for the trap of using humor to medicate some deeper issue, for example, insecurity.

Laughter is no enemy to learning.

Laughter is also no enemy to stress reduction.

Ain’t gonna lie, the past weekend was so quiet that it reminded me how it’s been the past 30 years.
