Charleston SweetGrass

 

 

Spring is near. I can smell the sweet grass. Well...not really...I know it's still early. It's eighty degrees today in South Carolina. No one here is looking to see cold winds blow much any this year. The old famers always say plant after Easter to be sure your crops don't get killed by late frost. They however don't say anything about summer dresses, straw hats or early beach walks.

 

Enjoy the sunshine while you can.

Congratulations To A Great Artist

 

Viola Davis after she won the award for best supporting actress in "Fences."

 

 

Little did I know when my friends and I road our brand new banana seat bikes on a twenty minute ride from the small town of Orangeburg, SC to the even smaller town of St. Matthews, that some where I could possibly have bumped into a little girl that would one day win an Oscar. Everyone seems to have roots in the South.

Congratulations to

Ms. Viola Davis

2017 Oscar Winner

This award has to be exciting for her. Thanks for the great movies and legendary roles that you have put in history. Also thanks for bring up an old memory.
 

You Are A Strong Flower

A flower planted in soil with no fertilizer in it will not be as strong as one with a little....(manure) in it. We all have some manure in our lives it only makes us stronger when we push through and seek sunshine and water from above.
Enjoy life.
God's Love will wash all of that remaining fertilizer off .





An Autistic Artist Incredible Memory

 

 

 

British Artist

Stephen Wiltshire

Not only are the drawings incredible, they are all drawn from his seeing the subject and then using his memory to capture even the smallest of details. He has been awarded an MBE for services to the art world in 2006. He studied Fine Art at City & Guilds Art College.

“I am one of those rare lucky people who

for growth and contribution.”

 

 

Dead artist only... No permanent building...OK... good luck with that growth.

Black History Month: Henry O Tanner

 

 Henry Ossawa Tanner

June 21, 1859 – May 25, 1937

 

 

An American born artist with strong international recognition

 is CFLegette's pick for this years

 Black History Month
Saluted Artist.
 

His life works are religious in nature and a style

that uses light in a way that gives each piece movement and character.

 Even his self-portrait above keeps your eyes constantly searching for more.

I was first drawn into his world with The Banjo Lesson.

It is still the one I love the best however, his complete gallery will please just about anyone.

 

It will be worth the time to research his life and works.

Henry O Tanner was quite a world traveler and one of the world's best painters.

Fitness Tip Tip: Late Night Snack Remedies

 

 

It's 10:00pm and you are watching a movie or a game.

 The hunger pings begin to pinch harder and harder.

 

 What do you do?

 

Well...there are only two choices:

 

1. Give in and satisfy the beast.

 

2. Go to bed hungry.

 

If you are like me number one usually wins. I can't sleep when hunger hits.

Walk In The Light

 

 

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5:15-17

New Fitness Routine Update

It's only February.
Don't quit!
You can do it!

This is normally about the time that most new or returning fitness club members stop and never return. Don't give up. It is not easy to keep going but if you continue to push through (believe me)  you will be much more pleased with yourself than if you quit now. Keep going. Change the routine in some way to keep motivated, give yourself rewards for completing a day or week. Just do what ever you have to do to keep going.

Most people quit now because of three reasons:

1. They start out too fast.
2. They try and do too much
3.A partner quits

Rarely is because of money or real health issues. All three reason have to do with your way of thinking and not because of anything physical. Sore muscles will get better with time. Remember that you didn't get out of shape over night. So you definitely won't get into shape in that short of time.

I Am Not A Dog

 

Repeat it to your self long enough and you become what you say you are.

Regardless of what people tell you, you are not a dog/dawg. God intends for you to be much greater than you are.   Satan is a liar and he wants you to live a life full of self-pleasure and once you become accustom to that limited life he will leave you in your mess. 

 

 

 

I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself. Of course, my friends, I really do not think that I have already won it; the one thing I do, however, is to forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead. So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call through Christ Jesus to the life above. Philippians 3:12-14
