DID THE FLASH GO OFF?
Much like faith in a light switch doing its job, hoping to capture an image and wondering "Did the flash go off?" barely takes a moment, but it can give the illumination necessary to preserve an image for a lifetime.
It's a question I heard often at family gatherings - and one I continue to ask regarding my own flashes of brilliance: some underexposed, out of focus or perhaps not that bright after all. But every once in awhile . . . something clicks!
There is nearly a whole month between our annual day of gratitude, to pause and give thanks, and our rush to the celebration of “greed-i-tude,” where we anticipate how thankful we’ll be if we get everything on our wish list. We should all be thankful that we have Black Friday to get us quickly into the Christmas spirit.
