A Little Bit Stolen


I learned first-hand in Africa that many tribes have the belief that when someone takes a photograph of you, it steals part of your soul. People would actually run and hide when the cameras came out.  I learned this the week before I was bitten by the lion.  ;)

I always thought that this belief was some ridiculous tradition based on ignorance and fear of the unexplained- but I'm beginning to wonder.

As you know, last night we had family pictures taken. The photographer took hundreds of pictures. 

Now it is Saturday morning, and I just can't seem to find any motivation to work on my Sunday School lesson for tomorrow.


(Oh c'mon.  They all can't be "gems" - besides, it's not like you're paying anything for this.)

  4. If you really have been bit by a lion, you've gained like a million "cool" points in my book!

  5. So on my cellphone, I am carrying around the souls of my family, my puppies and the earings I want to buy. Cool.

  6. I steal a little bit of every person's soul when I take their photograph. That's how I'm so awesome.
