A week or so ago I received a shocker of an e-mail wondering if I'd be interested in displaying some of my pictures (with scripture verses) in 24x36 prints for one of the local hospitals. I didn't have to pray very long before sent back my yes, Yes, YES! 8-)

I've had numerous e-mails, two telephone calls and the initial meeting is set up for Thurs a.m. of this next week.

This is a three-year project - (GOOD GRIEF! It just occurred to me - I'll be 80 years old!!) - beginning in the main lobby (Psalm 23) and then misc/various places throughout the hospital.

There are two hospitals in town - one of them across the river is newer and is almost continually expanding with nicer facilities and magnificent patient rooms. (I volunteer there.) However the project hospital is "boxed in" and simply cannot expand at it's present location and they have a desire to stay. They are also a Catholic hospital - with a crucifix in the main lobby, crosses in all patient rooms, etc.

I consider it a wonderful privilege - and a blessing - to be considered worthy enough to be involved in this project.

Again I say/ask - Isn't God good?!

The "next step" (prior to our meeting Thurs) is to have some recommended photos ready to show as examples. It's my plan to use the "path" picture for Psalm 23 and St Rose picture for The Lord's Prayer. I shoot most of my pictures in the "horizontal" plane and they need vertical. Therefore I need to convert to vertical, enlarge and add text, hopefully without any distortion when enlarged to 24x36 - not an easy task.

But this is indeed a FUN project for this OLD geezer.
