“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.” ~C.S. Lewis
Found this interesting wall framing a garden patio at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA. A restful, spiritual place, with no scribbles on this or any wall. But because of the uniquely designed materials used to build it, maybe this one wall could be called a "holey wall." (all native English speakers may now join in a unison "Groan!")
It's Sunday, y'all. Rejoice!
Soli Deo Gloria.
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 07/26/08. Saturday. Bella's good this morning; walk was fun/no squirrels, but we did a different block than usual. She likes variety. Breakfast -- meds soon, the post-walk routine. She slept better last night than the one before. Panting still, but it's hot. So, thank you God for another morning blessing today.
Bella and I are grateful for each of you, for caring and singing (love is all around...), and especially for praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.
What we have right now are day by day blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle, slowly unfolding.

@Markus: You are very kind. Thank you.
its looks like the kind of walls we have here in the 60s-70s...very retro to me!thanks for the quotation,a very 'whoa!' and powerful one!:)

@tyan: I think "retro" is the right description for this wall's look. I believe it was built in that same time period. Glad you like the image and the "whoa!" quote from CS Lewis, too. Blessings to you and thanks again for sharing what you did at your site today.
Very nice shot. B&W is an excellent choice.

@Evie: Thank you Evie for the nice comments.
there are some .. repetitive holes :D .. weird wall design :D i guess it's good position for aiming with a sniper or a cannon

@zoloper: I would not have thought of this as a sniper position. Interesting viewpoint, Z. Thanks for dropping by.
Nice symmetry and repetition, I prefer the b&w also here

@Evi: Thank you for the kind word, Evi.
Hey Viewfinder. Yep its a wall. And not a mark on it. Nice one. I like the perspective. Plus its continuity.
Oh...I'm not sure what to say about the Spainish Hats. I will,

@Rebel Streetshooter: Thank Reb, for your words of approval. As for the Spanish Hats... s'ok.
Blessings VF this is wonderful! Have loved you b&w photos over the past few days :)

@MaryB: Thanks MaryB. Glad you've liked my BW series. Monday I will careen wildly from that approach. Hope you will stick around for color stuff coming next. Who knows, my BW muse always lurks around the next corner.
hey VF--excellent perspective on this shot--great subject--can't go wrong hey??--the holey wall joke--that unified groan that I heard could have powered a jet plane;-))--billy
