My: Feet in San Diego; Heart in Africa; Head lost in a chaos of art, coffee, Giants, and scripture; Soul in the hands of my Lord and Father. My: name is Emma, and I AM a shiny penny. My: original shiny pennies concept born is founded in Penny the Pentax, a pentax K10D digital slr. It: has evolved and refers more broadly to being small and ordinary but exquisite and desirable. After-all: who isn't attracted to that copper grin of the sun rebounding off the orphan shiny penny on the pavement just out of the corner of the eye? My: reblogs, inspiration, writing, prayers, and frustration with and love for the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Chargers live in this blog alongside the occasional deep thought, excited revelation, or God-moment.

Shiny Pennies: The new and improved Picking Up Pennies has been released. This secondary tumblr will be the return to my original intent, a photo repository for Penny's productions.



His: will be done.

6 Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? 8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of your Lord will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help and he will say: Here I am. If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness and your night will become like the noonday. ISAIAH 58: VERSES 6-10.
