Truth: Just Saying

 

Truth

is not a color, a group, a feeling nor a movement. It stands on IT's own in times of  good and times of bad. IT has only one direction and will not change. It is full of LIGHT even in the darkest of darkness. It does not yield to peer pressure, public opinion or strong earthly powers.

IT will not be drowned, closed in, smothered  or exhumed.

 

TRUTH will prevail.

 

 

 

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son,

 who came from the Father,

full of grace and

 TRUTH.

John 1:14



When Praise Go Up ...

 

 

Let the peoples praise you, O God;

    let all the peoples praise you!

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you judge the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!

The earth has yielded its increase;
    God, our God, shall bless us.
 God shall bless us;
    let all the ends of the earth fear him!

Psalm 67:3-7

Caveat Emptor: The Art World News

 

 

Caveat Emptor

 

As always it's up to the buyers to carefully check and recheck the authenticity of the art work they purchase. There will always be those looking to separate uninformed buyers from their funds by tricks, deceptions or whatever. 

No matter the position, prestige or connected an authenticator seems to be ...verify.

 



In The Last Days...

 

 

 

 

But you must remember,

 beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers,

following their own ungodly passions.”

It is these who cause divisions, worldly people,

devoid of the Spirit.

But you, beloved,

 building yourselves up in your most holy faith

and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God,

waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.

 

Jude 1:17-23

Keep It Pure

 

 

The creator has placed in each of us special gifts.

The gifts that you have are not just for you.

Seek them out, grow with them and share them with others.

 

 But, most of all keep them pure.

Keftedakia For Everyone

 

This year we almost missed the Greek festival.

 I would have been really upset not to have tasted Keftedakia (Greek Meatballs) this year.

Ok ...and the pastries 

 

I like that the tables are set up so you have to meet and talk to different people.

After a warm conversation we find out that the lad in the middle is the grandmother of Jet's lineman
