No one will need lamplight or sunlight.
The shining of God, the Master, is all the light anyone needs. Revelation 22:5</span><br />

But, it has an amazing grainy b&w filter setting in it. So, I'll probably post a few pictures over the coming days of our nativity set taken with that grainy b&w filter effect I love so much.<br />

Even so, I do like this one enough to post it because I like the clouds.</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">“If I were you, I would go to God </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> and present my case to Him. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">He does great things too marvelous to understand. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> He performs countless miracles. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">He gives rain for the earth </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> and water for the fields. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">He gives prosperity to the poor </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> and protects those who suffer. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">He frustrates the plans of schemers</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> so the work of their hands will not succeed. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">He traps the wise in their own cleverness </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> so their cunning schemes are thwarted. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">They find it is dark in the daytime, </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> and they grope at noon as if it were night. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">He rescues the poor from the cutting words of the strong, </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> and rescues them from the clutches of the powerful. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">And so at last the poor have hope </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;"> and the snapping jaws of the wicked are shut." </span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: small;">-job 5:8-16</span></i><br />
