I'm a Christian.That doesn't mean I'm perfect. It means that Jesus,the Son of God died on a cross,and shed his sinless blood to save a sinner like me. John 5:24-"Jesus said,I tell you the truth,whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned;he has crossed over from death to life."
I'm married to Lee,and I can't imagine my life witout him. We were both 19 years old when we married. He is in construction work. You will see some of his photos from time to time on my photostream. He likes taking them,but doesn't like posting them.
I'm a mother of two grown sons,who I love with all my heart. The youngest is single,and the oldest is married to a sweet girl.
I'm a grandmother of two children,one girl,and one boy.
I love animals,but I realized several years ago that I'm basically more of a cat person,so cats are the only pets we have now. Our Sphynx, Zoey Lu is my best photo model. We love that cat ! You will see her often if you visit my photostream.
I love nature...flowers ...animals...beautiful places that I will never see in this lifetime,but I enjoy seeing these things on Flickr.
All of the things mentioned above are the reason for my screen name "myheartandsoul".
Flickr is a passtime for me. I'm not in competition with anyone.
I prefer simple point and shoot cameras. I don't have the patience for anything more complicated.
If you like somthing I post,I welcome your comments with much appreciation,and I will try to return your comments as soon as I can.
If you don't comment on my posts for a while,then I will assume you are not interested,and I won't bother you with my comments either.
I'm realistic about my photos. I know they aren't of the same quality of so many talented photographers on here who have better equipment,and a better imagination than I . My photostream is defined by my screen name,"myheartandsoul". My faith and my family are at the center of everything in my life.
I'm not here to argue religion,or politics with anyone else,but if you ask about my beliefs,I will try to respectfully answer your questions.
I enjoy the fantastic work of so many of you here on Flickr,and I see places and images that I would never see otherwise.
Thank you for being considerate toward me,as I will strive to do the same toward you. Have fun !
Please take a look at my Galleries,and see some of the amazing work of others !

Who is Jesus ? The Bible has the answer. John 1:1-14 says>
"In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God,and the Word was God.He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made;without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life,and that life was the light of men."
................................................................................................
In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power
Of the cross.
In every victory,let it be said of me
My source of strength,
My source of hope is Christ alone.

Forever Faithful To Jesus says:
"Dear Joan,
First of all I want to thank you for being my friend! I know that I can count on you for more than just a pretty picture…I have developed a love for you like a sisterly love that cannot be defined as just plain love…It is the love of God that makes us tick! I would love to meet you in person and just sit down and have a long talk under a big shade tree somewhere beside a rippling brook with the birds singing and the sky glowing with shades of blue. I imagine our main subject would be the man who carried the cross up Calvary’s Hill. Thank you Jesus
I like your pics too, I like the way you make them so pretty and I like the thought that goes into each new pic!
I think one day when we meet in heaven, we will find that rippling brook and just talk a spell! We will invite everyone else and what a time we will have… !!
I love you Joan with all my heart!!!!Mary Alice"9th June, 2011

"I have known Joan almost from the beginning of my joining flickr.
Her photography is great. She reveals her heart and soul through her pictures.
Joan you are such an inspiration to us and for me personally I have found you a caring and special type of friend.
You are so open hearted and your love for the Lord Jesus is so evident.
Love you gal. Keep your wonderful picture coming.

"Joan is a wonderful contact and friend.
Her values are very much appreciated and we could use more people like her in this world.
She finds beautiful sights and captures them so well. I never know what to expect next.
Zoey and Poppy always make me smile.
Thank you for being there Joan:)"11th June, 2010

"This is a very long overdue statement of my appreciation. Besides her inspirational, beautiful, thought-provoking, and often times "just plain fun" photos and words, Joan also lifts my spirits daily with her kind warm visits to my photostream. When I think of how we expose more of who we are to each other on flickr than we do to many of the people we come in contact with in our daily lives, Joan immediately comes to mind. With her upfront and honest appreciation of Jesus Christ and all the unseen that he performs in our world, she is an example of the type of person I want to become. Though we haven't met in person, I feel we have known each other for years!"

"What can I say about Joan? This is a talented and beautiful woman, inside and out, whose love of Jesus is reflected in the way she treats others, even when her life is particularly difficult. Her photos are beautiful and give a glimpse into her world, especially her adorable, hairless cat, Zoey! I am encouraged regularly by this woman, who not only shares my love of photography, but who is my sister in Christ. Many blessings to you, my friend, and lots of love, always!"

"Joan reminds me of the lady of the Arc - she's stalwart in unshakeable faith she gladly shares and her photography radiates her love for Christ and for His creation. I've enjoyed knowing her only a short time; yet she has enriched my life and given me, much needed at times, encouragement. I'd be glad just to know her work, but am enharmonically enheartened to call her saint, co-heir, co-laborer, sister and friend. May the Lord bless you as richly as you bless others Joan."
