Partakers.Net is the photography blog of Bea Kennedy. Here you'll find my latest pictures, links to my Etsy shop and my Photoshelter gallery, random life snapshots, and thoughts about following Jesus Christ. Please feel free to join the conversation.
 
The name Partakers.Net comes from the Bible verse in Hebrews 3:1, which says, "Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus . . ."
This is all covered in the documentation. If you would like me to install it for you, I am available for hire. Otherwise, **just try it**. The worst that can happen is your computer might melt into a puddle of molten slag, in which case I trust you have a backup. Stephen
If you gesture when you speak, love music, and rely on gut instinct in making important decisions, you’re likely right brained. If you read the directions first, adhere to a schedle, and can’t leave home without a watch, you’re likely left brained. Cameron Bishopp
Cameron Bishopp just described my husband and me as if he has known us all our lives. Too funny.
This quote from Joe Davis that I overheard from the men’s devotions one morning deserves a post all by itself:
When the towers fell, we saw people risk their own lives to rush in and rescue people. We’ve seen tornadoes, and car wrecks, and house fires, and a hurricane on the Gulf Coast where the same thing happened. . . . People are perishing! . . . . What I don’t see is the sense of urgency to get the Gospel to them.
There are people who are depending on us to get them the Gospel before they die.
Jim Henline
I think that one speaks for itself. I’ve been reading Eternity in their Hearts by Don Richardson this week. It’s full of stories of entire people groups for whom this is literally true. Makes me wonder about any church that would not make Acts 1:8 their “life verse.”
Okay, call me sick or whatever else you want to, but I LIKE to listen to good preaching. I’ve been priviledged to sit under the sound of some of the best for the last nearly eight years. Tonight’s sermon was an excellent reminder, though, that Jesus has not left this world without His light. That light resides in each of us who love Him and obey His commands, and it’s meant to shine out into a dark world.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
I was expecting everyone to break out laughing at the fact that we had pretended that God had nothing to do with life and wasn’t that just the weirdest thing to pretend to do. And of course, there was no pretending going on. (Gregg)
I thought it was a fairly profound statement on most people’s blasé unawareness of the intimate involvement of God in every aspect of life. Quite a contrast with Paul’s statement that it is in God that we live and move and have our being.
