This is Day 1 of me working from home for the next couple of weeks. So far, so good. I haven’t been crushed with the loneliness of isolation, yet. However, I also have been chatting quite a bit with people. So maybe it will set in this afternoon. One bonus… Read More »WPC – WEEK 236 – ENTERTAINMENT
23 weeks! 23 straight weeks of double digit submission! Now JUNK wasn’t a super popular theme. I think it is mostly a Bennett thing to like to hang out surrounded by JUNK. Not garbage but JUNK. I went and wandered around my favorite local JUNK pile, even though I thought… Read More »WPC – WEEK 234 – JUNK

Today is a very big day in the history of my oldest friends. Not just because one of my old friends climbed a building and set his shirt on fire and got arrested yesterday.

FOOD was another very popular theme. We have reached 16 straight weeks of double digit submissions!

I guess now that we are in 2020, pictures from 2019 would be considered backlog. I won’t get into my goals for 2020 until I write my 2019 review post, but one of my goals is to get in the ball park of caught up with my backlogs. That way… Read More »Confirmation – 2019

It is Christmas Eve. It is one of my favorite days of the year and it is my favorite worship service of the year. I LOVE candlelight service. I don’t think there is any other service (perhaps a few on the mission trip) where I can feel God as much… Read More »Advent Candle – Christ
13!! Lucky number 13! 13 straight weeks of double digit submissions. With the holiday season, it might be rough getting to 14 straight weeks and I will be in Kentucky next Monday.

HIGH PERSPECTIVE proved to be a highly unpopular theme. That is the bad news. The good news is that by skin of its teeth, HIGH PERSPECTIVE had double digit submissions, to run the streak of double digit submission to eleven! Woot! Woot! My best prognostication is that the streak will… Read More »WPC – WEEK 221 – HIGH PERSPECTIVE
Before we get into the meat of today’s post, I just want to throw out a quick prayer request out there. On Friday when I was ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, a woman that I don’t know handed the money directly to me and asked me to pray… Read More »WPC – WEEK 220 – COLORFUL
Happy Thanksgiving! Every year on Thanksgiving I like to think about my many, many blessings. I know, real original. You should feel free to try it sometime.

Running just a tad bit behind schedule today. As I am on vacation and my motivation levels might not be what they normally are.

PURPLE was not anywhere near as popular as ORANGE, but I don’t think that is a reflection of the color so much as the time of year. However, PURPLE did inspire enough people that we manage to hit double digits for submissions for the 8th week in a row! But… Read More »WPC – WEEK 218 – PURPLE
I would be remiss if I didn’t start out this post to saying Happy Veteran’s Day. I don’t have a photo to back up these sentiment, so instead, let me remind you that veterans often struggle greatly when they leave the military. The suicide rate for veterans of 35 per… Read More »WPC – WEEK 217 – ORANGE
