A Quote for Textured Tuesday

Linking up today with Kim Klassen and Texture Tuesday...I came across this photo and re-edited it using her texture, "cora."  Taken at dusk, there was a subtle pink hue to the sky.

And this quote from Charles Spurgeon really cuts to the marrow...


“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .” 

― Charles H. Spurgeon

  1. Absolutely incredible photography and texturizing. Hey Denise, have you seen the new app Waterlogue? It is a powerful watercolor app. I would LOVE to see what this photo would look like done in that. It definitely couldn't top what you have already done but I bet it would really be lovely.
