Picture Perfect

Today was picture day here on the farm.  When we advertise some of our high producing animals to potential buyers, they like to see pictures of them.  Sometimes we are marketing their future calves, so we picture their mothers.  We hire a professional photographer to come in and set up the animal and take shots of her.  There is a lot that goes into it.  Before the photographer can focus his camera on the animal, he wants her to be standing just perfect and looking alert.  Some animals cooperate while others like to give them a hard time.  Their legs have to be set just right and their head up.  It takes all the man-power on the farm to get the animal just perfect. 
My farmer has a special talent.  He is the "noise maker".  Someone has to make noises and wave bags in front of the cow to get her to look out.  It's a very hard job;  sometimes jumping around, sometimes crawling, hollering, making animal noises.  It's quite hilarious actually!  So below the picture is a video that I took one time of my farmer doing his thing.

  "If you can focus your camera till you see that, and know it cost the life of God, Himself, when He made His life here. Didn't have to give it up. He laid it down, freely. He was God. He didn't have to die, but He did it, freely, gave His own life, that He might bring sons to Him, that His work might continue on. "The works that I do," John 14:12, "the works that I do, you'll do also." If the things could to be done like that, and you can see Him and see Him only, then you'll get your camera in focus, see, to a place to where God can use you. Certainly." 63-0428 Bro. Branham
