Wanda Mann

When you choose a picture to represent yourself to the world (like in Facebook) what do you pick?  My guess is that it would be one of the following: 

• your best, current shot
• something funny
• something memorable

If you look on my Facebook or even the few pics on this website, you're going to find what I have just described.  You will never see the photo shoots of moments where I was bottomed out or in despair.  And yes, I have been there...  I guess it's mainly because the thought never occurred to me that it might have been a moment to capture.  As I wept in front of my brother & his wife's caskets, I didn't think to 'take a picture'.  In the horror of my dad's death, the thought of getting the camera never entered my mind.  When good friends rejected me, I didn't ask them to stop & pose... Those were moments I didn't want to frame and wished never happened.  Scenes I'd rather forget.

Life is not like the picture.  A picture remembers what we have chosen to.

That's why I love reading what David has to say in the Psalms.  I can totally relate!!  He wrote about the stuff in between the photo-shoots!
