Fruit Of The Spirit

 

The acts of the flesh are obvious:

sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;

 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage,

selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy;

drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

 Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:19-23

There Is Joy In Each Day

Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.

This is the gate of the Lord,
Through which the righteous shall enter.

 I will praise You,
For You have answered me,
And have become my salvation.

The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118: 20-24

A Rush to Interview and a Rush to Judge Equals Bemusement

 

 

Maybe it's because I admire a passionate person or maybe it's because I admire a person confident in what he does on the field but I thought it odd that everyone jumped on a football player for an interview two minutes after a super play on the field, that also caused his team to play in one of the greatest arenas of sports and in what most call the center of the world.

Erin Andrews should have known that would be a possibility. Her reaction was more surprising than Sherman’s. Let’s examine the scenario. In the loudest stadium in the NFL and at the most celebrated time possible, it had to be extremely loud (ya think?) I don’t even think Sherman even listen to the question. All he wanted to do was celebrate what he just did on the field. If you listen to what he said, he wasn’t directing any of his answer to anyone listening. It was a statement to Crabtree and whoever on the 49er’s team that had said something or things that he heard through the grapevine about him. There is no love for the two players.

I was wondering what would have happened had Sherman had more time to come down from the playmakers-high he was on. Well, with out much digging there is an interview that does that. Take the time to look at them both and then make your comment.

Winslow Homer's Gulf Stream

 

 

Maybe it was the sharks, maybe it was the tonado or maybe it was the sinking ship but this painting by Winslow Homer caught my attention in college. It became my first exact copy study. the more I painted the more fascinated I was with the details. The light, and darkness along with the danger and hope. Where was this distressed person coming from and where was he trying to go? Can he see the ship in the ditance? Why is he so calm? Who's blood is that in the water? There are so many directions that a writer could take.

Maybe you have a few ideas about it.
