It works!! I can take my camera and photograph any text or book, and my home PC will read it all to me. Can also convert printed images to text files than to audio clips for reading off my iPhone or iPad.

The days grow longer by the minute. Learning to love those who hate.

Riding a Wave by Kayak and Star Light

It all comes to a wonderful start depending on the only trustworthy guidance in the universe, God's purging fire for doing things the wrong way and a freshening breeze on a polar sunrise.

He told me that His plans are to prosper the way ahead and not harm to establish His way among His remnant.

So be it. Take your fat bloated bodies and hire a pay loader to get your ice-cream shopping out of the way. And the city dwelling weekend mountain warriors of trails so well trodden that event the animals have become beggars.

You can have it. All the trails a GPS will lay down in 3D will have to beat simple stars, the ways of the wind and the Hand of the Creator in something that stays your manhood...simple water.... Oh the terrors

Next manhood test is to swimming across a glacial feed. Tricky because you got to do it fast enough so third stage hypothermia doesn't have you seeing palm trees before His judgement seat.

Poverty to Paradise

My Dear Friend,
A great gift of a luxurious house was bestowed upon us with ample resources to relax among the gardens, fine trimmed lawns and unique Asian style interior. Does God give such gifts without conditions? In this case, no; for what benefit would such a blessing serve if His love doesn't touch some needy soul.

Certainly, my return to the west has required me to live cautiously which means being watchful that I don't let the all pervasive toxicity of western morality, disturb the graceful sense of honor, sanity and family values for which my eleven year removal from the US was necessary to facilitate.

Unfortunately deluded by my own preconceptions that the western Christian Family would be my team of like minded defenders brought me to the doors of endless cadaverous churches; a would where Christianity was a term used to define an impotent people who could quote the Bible with the same subtle deception that Jesus heard during His lengthy desert fast and temptation. In the west Christianity is sadly a skill of talk with no action, where as in my country, Christianity is expressed as Love in action being totally devoid of talk and words. In my land Love is considered to be elevated by action and lowered and pulled through the dirt of the world if limited to words.

So dear friend I must apologize as my need to work frequently leaves me little to no time to review e-mail, much less respond. I take comfort that if you are speaking with our Father, you already know this. If you don't spend regular time in communion with Him, there is nothing more critical than securing that relationship, for without it friendship is impossible.

Shedding Shadows

It becomes easier to speak with you as the dark shadows flee from the sky. Just like trying to create that one final picture, it requires the inspiration then the tools to convey. The inspiration was flawless but the tools, the medium, society, individuals display an inertia that makes the final effort to express feel a bit like trying to wield lead paint brushes rather than beams of light.

I know you look for some sort of response, but it doesn't come. It's not that the answers you seek are not there, it's just the medium through which they flow are being called out of the shadows and back to the Light.

Remember the time you were faced with an error associated with the quality of friends you cherish; a simple moment in the Light you again had to wrestle with another error of your assessment of life's character. As with everyone in this world, we make mistakes; how else can it be when a world of beings made of dust would rather take living water meant to clean and mix it with their dust to make mud within which to wallow.

It's all wrong and it's too late. The inspiration remains in the Light in original perfection. The canvas and tools for expression have become irreparably useless and must be tossed into the waste bin of forgetfulness.

I'm not ignoring you but rather your inability to let go of the false crutches that lift you to summits frequented by the world has you caught in delusions of grander which I want no part of.

You were given a gift of priceless proportions reserved for service to the One who gave it. Unfortunately you, along with many others some how think you will exalt your status above the stars, yet even now you are beginning to sense that you have made yet another error. Grievously you have set ablaze the very bridge that was your escape way out of hell.

How terrible it is to see the powerful glow that drew you to cross that bridge to be the glow of eternal fires. Thinking you would inflict punishment upon a world that has hurt you more than your mother's powers could affect for your protection, you now discover that the forces she wield destroyed a good man and even now destroys her own flesh. I guess the statement, "misery likes company" holds true in this case.

Of course time grows short. I wish there were Good News but what of it was ever offered to you has been trodden underfoot. There remains no way out and nothing to stop you from a horror that escapes words to explain. Now I know what it means, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

So why even write this? I have hope that others who have not gone as far as you have can turn back before they go to the crossing of a bridge meant as a gift to escape the deceptive glow on the other side.

Not Even Nature Can Help Stop The Pain

Aurora Video Soon To Publish

The time is 4:04 AM and I'm totally excited. I just finished creating a wonderful video presentation of an entire aurora event that happened last week, August 29, 2011 which was much to my surprise. With more that 72 meticulously edited, very high definition images all arranged perfectly in temporal sequence to bring out all the beauty, the production only waits for the sound track. My wife wanted me to show a few images to some people but as I got working, I realized that every image I took had something of value to be used. Seeing such an event with a summer like evening, allowed for an imaging session on soft green grass. On this great surface I situated a tripod toward the auroral storm as it progressed. In many cases, the tripod wasn't moved but just fixed at the area of the sky with the most activity. In this way, the images frequently show the unchanging Big Dipper with this slowly undulating auroral display. As it turned out, the dissolve sequence of the movie application allow the images to move just exactly they way it would for an actual event as a local observer would perceive it.. To see this sequence come out the way it did was a miracle. It was an answer to prayer and I'm grateful to God for what He gave me to share with others. I'm also thankful to my friend John Reid whose kind generosity allowed for me to have a camera sensitive enough to capture such rare natural displays of solar terrestrial plasma. What both my wife and I experienced was wonderful and I hope to have this new video up for viewing in the very near future.

After writing my own obituary, I found it a delight to erase. In the course of one year my life has been through a lot and it all winds up with the same beautiful mysterious ending with my Korean family coming to my aid and rescue.

I can truly say that my Korean wife and I have been handled with the same love and care as we enjoyed in Korea. This miracle is certainly a direct result of our unbroken commitment to the local Korean community. In each and every case where I have been given liberty to explore some kind of affiliation with the Americans here, if it wasn't for the overseeing support of my Korean family, I would have been chewed up and spit out by this society of white people (like my appearance) who pridefully struggle to appear superior to the animal kingdom.

Each day brings a newer view of the downward spiral of western society. Today's revelation of yet another blazing disaster was found while doing some casual research using "Wikipedia" where a general topic about nature brought to my screen this nauseating defense of human sexual perversion. The genetic handicap associated with my national identity as a white man, left me trying to write a defense for what should be simple "self-evident" truth.

With amazing and marvelous grace, God has been working in my life in ways far to mysterious and fearfully unusual to even try to explain. It is a daily walk as I deal with literal forces of life and death with each passing moment. Not unlike waking from a dream to find that you are a mile above the surface of the earth standing on a tight wire.

I'm grateful to my friend John for his wonderful gift of a camera. With this wonderful piece of photographic technology, it has been possible to see the world reflected in the window of my soul.

Yet my closest and dearest earthly friend will always be my wife from Korea. I marvel that out of all western friends she remains with me being gifted with a special love and faithfulness none other but God Himself has shown me. She has always been there when all others have left me. Both of us rarely have funding to give each other gifts, yet our friendship remain through heavenly love as she waited ten years to prepare herself to endure the soaring extremes of the far north arctic.

Through God's most wonderful love in Jesus, we have finally made it to the highest peak in all the Northern hemisphere For the first time in my life I can look back on my life with gratitude for all the blessings that God has blessed me with and see His unfathomable Love touching every part of my life to the point where He has even made the errors and mistakes transformed into gateways of light guiding onward to His celestial kingdom.

Though my errors have been as red as blood....

....He has purged it with His blood and made my failures as white as the cotton wood bloom in the brightness of the midnight sun.
