The Way I See It
Twice each year the Thursday blog is a sampling of my photos with quotes. It’s that time again and I hope you enjoy both.

Hi Fred,
Happy New Year to you and Carol! Love these pictures with thoughtful quotes.
So sorry to hear about Jeff Buford.
Blessings on you two and all your family.
Thank you, Jacqui. We had a wonderful Christmas with everyone here. Please give our love to your family.
Words of wisdom!! Thanks for sharing, Fred, wishing you and your family a safe and healthy 2021!!!!
Thank you, Jack. You are a blessing to our community.
Beautiful photos and quotes, Fred. The one from Anne Lamott about staggering to safety from one lily pad to the next to gain strength especially struck me.
Thank you for these. They provoke deep and meaningfully reflection–something sorely lacking in a world full of cacophonous distraction.
Thank you, Peggy. Anne Lamott almost always says it better than anyone, doesn’t she?
Fred
Thanks for your blogs. They are always interesting.
Thank you, John!
Beautiful and the quote accompanying them make them more beautiful.
Thank you, Dianne. We miss seeing you all.
Fred, I look forward to reading/listening to your blog each week. It is amazing how it always seems to touch on a theme I’ve recently dealt with. Thank you for sharing your talent for clearly painting reality on our weekly canvas of delusion. Happy New Year!!!
Thank you, Bob! You are always such an encouragement to me and many others.
As always, Fred, a delight to hear about — and see — the world through your senses. You’re a blessing to me.
Thank you, Brent. This is so encouraging to me. Blessings.
This are rich thoughts brother Fred! So glad to be back in the Tyler community so I can hang out with you. I especially loved you quote in tribute to Jeff Buford. He was always a kind and clear voice for me when I was at All Saints decades ago.
Thank you, Bedford. Yes, Jeff never had any interest in being legendary. He left a great legacy though.
Thanks, Fred, for taking the time to share with us the insight you are given. New Year blessings. Ready or not, here it comes!
Thank you, Tim. Matching photos and quotes is more difficult than writing!
Gracias Fred feliz año nuevo.
Thank you, Frank. One of the best parts of the year is having back and forth with you!
Fred:
These are all great — thanks for sharing, as always. First I’d heard about Jeff Buford — needless to say, a great loss.
My the New Year bring blessings on you and yours.
Thank you, John. Yes, Jeff’s passing a a great loss to this community and to his friends.
Your quote for Bob Buford was perfect. (What a well-liced life. Well done, good and faithful servant.)
Good men may not become famous or be on the cover of the media darlings’ magazine.
But, as Paul said about his ministry, they are ‘needful’, they are essential. They just do what is right. Reminds me of Will Rogers quote to “always do the right thing. It pleases your friends, and astounds everyone else.”
But it is the ordinary people, just doing what is right, doing what is needful, that actually contribute to make this life pleasant and enjoyable.
Keep up the good work, Fred. I so look forward to your Thursday blogs.
Thank you and Carole for your decades of service to the Kingdom, doing that needful service, although most was ‘below the radar.’
And for keeping your eyes and ears open, both spiritual and physical, you have amassed and now share decades of wisdom and , twice a year, great photos.
Be blessed. Numbers 6:24-26
Thank you, Sam. May we all be men who simply do what is right.
Wow Fred, these are so moving. I will enjoy reading them all again – as well as some from the past you have done that you have linked. The only thing missing are quotes of yours, with pictures. But then we get those regularly with all the wonderful blogs you do. We sure miss seeing you and Carol.
Thank you, Terry! We miss you all as well. Surely there is a way we can see each other this year!
Great work Fred… blessings to you!
Happy New Year!
Thank you, Sam. I appreciate the encouragement.
I’m reminded that Lyndon Johnson said, the problem is not doing what is right, it is knowing what is right and then doing it. He was certainly an example of great plans going terribly wrong.
Keep on keeping on, Fred. Your work is a blessing to many, including me.
Thank you, Jack. I was half-way hoping you were going to say, “Great work and now it’s time to hang up the gloves.”
Thank you for your inspirations and “urgings”. We all need to be urged to do more, more often. Love your Zooms, too!
Walt & Michelle
Thank you, Walt. The need for urging includes me! We need reminding more than remonstrance. We know what is right but we get caught up in other things.
Thanks Fred
Since I’m a mushroom lover I loved that quote and enjoyed a laugh
All fungi are edible. Some fungi are only edible once.” – Terry Pratchett
i limit myself to taking pictures of mushrooms and having them on pizza.
Your insights and wisdom are always a wonderful respite from our world of sound bytes and predictable drivel.. look forward to your email oasis every week!!
Thank you, Lee. You are a friend!
