He created it all


A nasty thunderstorm had just ended. Trees and power lines were down all over town. I spotted this single leaf in a parking lot. There is nothing in God's creation either large or small that doesn't amaze me.
Genesis 1:1 declares that God created the heavens and the earth. From every grain of sand to the mountains to mankind, He created it all. 

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1 NLT

Nothing seemingly insignificant by man's standards is too small for God. Nothing man considers too big an obstacle is too big for God.
I love nature photography so much, because I get to capture these precious moments and keep them forever.
Because of the First Amendment, I get to share those captured moments as well as the Gospel with you. 

May the Lord bless you
    and protect you.

May the Lord smile on you

    and be gracious to you.
 May the Lord show you his favor
    and give you his peace.
~Numbers 6:25-26 NLT

My autistic brain

Profile of a face with a rainbow colored brain. Personal autism attributes in various colors font. Since I am a visually oriented thinker, pictures come before words. Words flow easier if I can create an image or images first. Here is one case in point. I am very grateful for PixTeller.com for providing the royalty free images and designing capability.

Questioning the current autism spectrum model

Color wheel. Concept: autism spectrum redefined. Can an autistic person be both high and low functioning? Is this even the right question to ask? I've heard the term "high-functioning" and "low-functioning" used for autism for nearly two decades, when I was first diagnosed. I am not offended by the terms, but  confused  by them. What is in question? IQ? EQ? verbal and social skills? How about coping with co-morbids and sensory processing disorder? The autism spectrum is often seen as linear, with "low functioning" being at one end and "high functioning" being at the other. This is one dimensional and I think, misleading. My IQ has been tested in adulthood twice. Each time, I scored 110, considered a B+ grade. Intellectually, I could say I'm high-functioning. I can speak, though I sometimes have to stop and think about what I have to say or wind up repeating words while I try and think about what ones I want to use. I do well with wr

I wasn’t meant to be a primary caregiver

As I have mentioned in posts over the last 2 years, my mom passed away 2.5 years ago. Caring for her in her final months was difficult, but doing it as an autistic person 5 days in a row the first couple weeks was impossible. She was in the end stages of pulmonary fibrosis. She weighed 70 pounds and was gradually withdrawing from eating and drinking. She had reached the point where she was scared to be alone. For. A. Single. Instant. I tried to tell my family that this much intensive care for 5 days straight was too much. I couldn't process it. There was no fresh supply of spoons and I was on auxiliary power. I have recently become acquainted with the Spoon Theory. Here is Wikipedia's definition: of the s poon theory: "The   spoon theory   is a disability metaphor used to explain the   reduced amount of energy   available for activities of daily living and productive tasks that may result from disability or chronic illness." Maybe they thought because
