holiness

I'm going to share a short excerpt from one of my favorite devotional books, Streams in the Desert.  This book has had perfect, timely messages that are so deep. It's a compilation of sermons and books written by real and sincere people that have followed God in times past and present.  I really, really love this book and highly recommend it for those needing daily messages full of depth and wisdom.

"Holiness- as I then wrote down some of my contemplations on it- appeared to me to be sweet, calm, pleasant, charming, serene nature, which brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness, ravishment to the soul; in other words, that it made the soul like a field or garden of God, with all manner of pleasant fruits and flowers, all delightful and undisturbed, enjoying a sweet calm and the gentle vivifying beams of the sun." -Jonathan Edwards

black and white

I've always preferred black and white pictures over colored.  It just seems to me that they're more "serious" and deeper.  B/W pictures always grab my attention because it feels like each picture is telling a silent, moving story.  A richer, deeper story than colored pictures could convey.  I always become somber when scrolling black and white photos, because they seem to just... pause time. 

Why do you like b/w pictures?
