From The Heart

Tip: Work on depth of field. Looking back on it, this image would have been much more effective had I used a smaller aperture to focus more exclusively on the steam plume.

Back in September I had the pleasure of experiencing Yellowstone National Park for the first time. What a place! There were signs all over the grounds telling you to watch your step and stay on the boardwalks and paved pathways to avoid the potential of stepping onto a hot spot and melting your shoes off. That is an intense thing to see posted everywhere.

All about the park there were boiling geysers and steaming holes and cracks in the ground to remind you of the miles of boiling water and acid pools that lay just below the earth's crust. Much like the steaming grounds of Yellowstone, we spew forth signs to others what is inside of us.

Matthew 15:18 states that "What comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person." The question we must ask ourselves is this: what is boiling under your surface? Is it love for God and your fellow humans? Or is it something else that is less than glorifying to our Lord? Pay attention to the things you say and the actions you do- read the Bible and see if your speech and actions match what you say you believe.
