The Absence of Color is not the Color Of Absence

Hey Fam. Just thought I'd Share a Little Project I've been workin on with some friends. The Title Of Course is "The Absence of Color is not The Color Of Absence".. Now i'm not the First to do it, but i'd thought i'd give it a try...Notice Each Picture is in Black and White.. Some say with COLOR brings LIFE to a Picture.. a story.... a feeling.. or it shed a Brighter Light on a situation/gives a better understanding...

This is The Color of Class and Style...Without Color .. Do you Not See Swagger??

This is The Color Of Sorrow...Do you need the Colors to feel her pain?

This is The Color Of CHANGE... Will a Splash of Color Help You Understand the Legacy??

This is The Color of YOUTH....Can't you Tell with out the hints of yellow or splashes of blue?

This is The Color Of SACRIFICE.....

Well Fam Thats all I Have For Now.. HOPE you liked it so far.. IF you want to add on .. hit me up with some more ideas.. Love .. Peace n Blessingz

JUST A MOM?

A woman, renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office, was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.

'What I mean is,' explained the recorder,

'do you have a job or are you just a ?'

'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman.

'I'm a Mom.'

'We don't list 'Mom' as an occupation,
'housewife' covers it,'

Said the recorder emphatically.

I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself

in the same situation, this time at our own Town Hall.

The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised,

efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like,

'Official Interrogator' or 'Town Registrar.'

'What is your occupation?' she probed.

What made me say it? I do not know.

The words simply popped out.

'I'm a Research Associate in the field of

Child Development and Human Relations.'

The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and

looked up as though she had not heard right.

I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words.

Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written,

in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.

'Might I ask,' said the clerk with new interest,

'just what you do in your field?'

Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice,

I heard myself reply,

'I have a continuing program of research,

(what mother doesn't)

In the laboratory and in the field,

(normally I would have said indoors and out).

I'm working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family)

and already have four credits (all daughters).

Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities,

(any mother care to disagree?)

and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more like it).

But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers

and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.'

There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she

completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.

As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career,

I was greeted by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3.

Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model,

(a 6 month old baby) in the child development program,

testing out a new vocal pattern.

I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy!

And I had gone on the official records as someone more

distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just another Mom.'

Motherhood!

What a glorious career!

Especially when there's a title on the door.

Does this make grandmothers

'Senior Research associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations'

And great grandmothers

'Executive Senior Research Associates?'

I think so!!!

I also think it makes Aunts '

Associate Research Assistants.

May your troubles be less,

Your blessing be more,

And nothing but happiness come through your door!
AMEN!!

I Pray That..................May 2008

With all the praise and glory my Savior Jesus Christ, I ask that you accept these words without offense or judgment.

In life through our actions and interactions, we will ask others to be, give, try and even do sometimes the seemingly impossible, yet we are unwilling to ask the same of ourselves. Some of us would even take offense when others "dare" have the same expectation of us.

I Pray That, we strive to be the example we want and ask others to be and not hold others to expectations we are unwilling to live up to ourselves.

I Pray That, we do not resent or hold judgment against those who fall short of our expectations and that we expect no less of ourselves than we do of others.

I Pray That, we are living the life that we expect of others and that we ask ourselves, when we to go others with expectation "would I be willing to be, give, try and even do sometimes the seemingly impossible for others"?.

It's in Jesus name I say this prayer to you,

Amen

PS. All monthly "I pray that" will be original writings.

Striving to be the example...........
