Hi Sven,

Thanks for dropping in and for the book referral. I have a book to recommend also. It's called "The Power of a Praying Husband". There's also a companion book of prayers. It's good stuff.

So W was giving me some grief last night. See, we each have our own camera's. Hers is a point and shoot, mine is an older style 35mm that you have to adjust and play with. Well, I don't take a lot of pictures and sometimes my film will stay in the camera for 6 or 8 months and I'll have all kinds of different events and such. She's very organized, I'm not and it frustrates her that my pictures are hard to organize.

My son and I were going deer hunting and she was grinding on me, wanting me to just use her camera instead of mine. She thinks it's silly that we both have our own camera's. Says most normal family's only have one. So she's being pretty pushy with me. I just let her vent, did'nt want to get into it with her. Picked up my camera and left.

So, in the old days I would have told her she was being a selfish tyrant. But these days, I know to think things through. I could just get rid of my camera, and give her what she wants. But, then I might just resent that. Besides, I LIKE MY CAMERA, and her not wanting me to use it makes me want to use it more!

So, now that I've allowed about 18 hours time to pass. I think I will bring up the convo with her and explain how much enjoyment I get from my camera. See if I can't explain it's an enjoyable thing for me, it's not a struggle for power over the film and picture industry at the COG household. It's just that I've always had my own camera, you know and photography was my Mom's hobby growing up. Besides, I take pretty good pictures with this camera.......Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.

Well, maybe I'll just offer to get rid of the camera.

I'll let you all know how it turns out.
