The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

i was talking about this concept with a friend the other day and part of a Bible paper i turned in last week was about it....
the hot oven of difficulty brings forth patience, long-suffering or perseverance and humility and dependence on God to name just a few Tamara is in the hospital in labor--6 weeks early but their little son may arrive today. Pray.
Word For Word webmaster, not to ignore the importance of today's fingerpost, but can you go correct the spelling of my penquin to penguin? Also, my guess is James was to have followed grounded, but penguin got slipped in in about the same span of minutes.
unfortunately my powers as blogmaster are not absolutely sovereign. i can delete a comment, but i can't make alterations. happily, most eyes will probably breeze right over the q and interpret it as a g.
O mostly sovereign webmaster, are proper names to be considered legitimate words? I base my concern on Scrabble. But you have the keys to the rulebook. And most likely the pencil that wrote it.
"I base my concern on the example of Scrabble."
"Life is pain. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something." ~the dread pirate Roberts, aka Westley, aka the Farm Boy
proper names are legit. now go bask in your freedom and frolic in the expanded universe of words!
i love how the picture and source of the quote add a light hearted comedy.
on the one hand, human experience and human pain is deeply significant. on the other hand, we should be able to laugh at ourselves.
