I just spent 15 minutes deleting pictures taken from our digital camera. These were pictures of random objects (a chair, the carpet, etc.!), close-ups that were way TOO close (!), and pieces of people in frames...one word: MICHAEL!
Our little photographer is fine if you give him specific instructions ("Michael, take a picture of us and make sure we're in the little box!" Click. Perfect.); however, it's the other times when things get a little sketchy. Here's the scenario: We'll be at a function (school or church) talking and catching up with friends. Michael will come, ask for the camera and while distracted, we will hand it to him. Or, at home, he'll find a way to reach the camera...
In reality, I don't mind all the extra pictures (probably because we once deleted 127 pictures of the same dog when Krista, then 6 yrs old, was my "photographer" while house hunting in California) because they can easily be deleted from the camera. Gone and forgotten with the click of a button.
You know, God is the ultimate deleter. In 1 John 1:9, the Bible says "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Forgiveness is just a prayer away.
