Today's message.DSCN2420, and story

Description

Can this be *real?...Yes, it was.

While attending the service of my brother's wife's sister, we were directed to turn to song 420 in the psalm book, stand up and sing. While the choir sang, along with the congregation, I noticed what page they had selected and felt how interesting.  Placing the book on a nearby chair, I carefully shot perpendicular to the pages to keep the image square within the frame, while using available light, so as not to distract others.  Not bad for 1/10th a second, handheld.

After getting back to download the images, I noticed the file number, DSCN2420, and thought how could this be.  What do you think?  Was there another hand in this?  Coincidence.  I think not.  Even the song title works for dA, How great thou art.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.

Have an especially pleasant day on this unique American holiday. Cough, cough, cough......................smooth. Hope you like it Mr. Spicoli.

*Things like this happen to me more often than you might expect, but I think it's also a matter of being aware of what's happening around you.  Seeing outside the box, in fact, no box at all.

For those who don't know the why of the posting on this day, it's quite possible to be too clever, and entirely miss your audience.  I carefully left clues about it being April 20th, but like any joke you need to explain, it loses it in translation, and that isn't funny, or clever.  Still not know, ask a young person.  Now let's see what happens on May 4th.

Special song? How many songs written 131 years ago are still sung today? The only Christian song more popular than this one is "Amazing Grace", which has a very amazing story of how it came into being.

Nice and interesting photo amigo.
