An x-factor is defined as "a circumstance, quality, or person that has a strong but unpredictable influence," according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary on-line. As I mentioned during my last post, last weekend my family and I were in New Orleans, Louisiana. I believe that the combination of being surrounded by historical architecture, God's natural creations, and a loving family served as an x-factor for me. The Cayun cuisine at the various restaurants we visited was delectable too! Anyway, here are the results from my x-factor exposure, as well as a few photographs my daughter and I shot in NOLA during our stay.

I am dedicating this posting in memory of the nine victims of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, in Charleston, South Carolina. May their families find comfort in the love of our Creator, Savior and Redeemer. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. I will reciprocate by visiting your blog and leaving a comment as well. May the world find its x-factor in "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7).

Brutality is so sad and brings so much tragedy to all the families!
We had an amok runner yesterday in Austria - crashed wild against people in Styria -- 3 people are dead, 34 injured people ----- unbelievable !
So horrifying!
