Well, the long saga is over and Lucy is finally here. I must confess that this was not the first picture I took. Perhaps I’ll blog that one at a later date. No, actually, Lucy took her first shot somewhere around 2:15pm yesterday and this one was her 235th, taken earlier this afternoon. So, I do get good use out of my cameras, to say the least.
As for the outfit (though, I must insist I don’t really wear outfits), well, I thought I would go with a Pakistani-American theme, with a black kameez and jeans.
Seriously, though, I am very thankful for this camera as it is really nice, and also thankful for the reminder to hold all gifts loosely. I hope that makes sense. If you want to know more about the details of the camera and a trustworthy place to get one yourself, just shoot me an email.
I am also thankful for good, and generously giving, friends, like the author of Bacon’s Great who very kindly provided a great camera case, which can easily go around my neck for safer carrying 🙂
235! oh my goodness! well, i am glad lucy is keeping busy.
Holding all gifts loosely makes sense, provided you mean loosely in a figurative sense. Hooray for more pictures!
Lucy is my favorite name in the world (it means “bringer of light,” which is very profound and spiritual to me). I like it partially because it’s kind of old-sounding and it always evokes the memory of Chronicals of Narnia. I also always think of this song:
Lucy
words and music: Bergquist and Detweiler
recording: Besides
Oh Lucy, its not as bad as you think.
Oh Lucy, loves a fact that can make a girl drink.
And you say that its over.
You say its the end of Lucy, Lucy, Lucy.
Oh Lucy, theres a cold look in your eye.
Oh Lucy, I believe this is the way most dreamers die.
And Lucys starting over.
Lucys at the edge of Lucy, Lucy, Lucy…
God have mercy,
the house stands empty with the garden.
God have mercy,
your young girls heart will learn to harden.
Lucy, you cant pray a lie,
no matter how hard you try.
Lucy, you cant pray a lie.
Youre a bloody-minded girl and thats alright.
Youre gonna be just fine.
Oh Lucy, its not as bad as you think.
Renee, yes, I obviously like the name too, principally because of Lucy Pevensie. She is so much the image of the ideal Christian. She is not perfect, but so much wants to see and be with Aslan, more than any other human in the book. And, yes, “light bringer” is a lovely image. Unfortunately, it is essentially the same as Lucifer. But we needn’t let bad use mar a good name. My goodness, the glory Satan gave up must have been tremendous.
I will have to listen to that OTR song. The lyrics are good.
