Fruit & Armor







In response to a post of the image above by someone  I only recently met.  For those I've never met, then this is for you too.

Wear the armor, and bear the fruit
These two things in common in the common war

The war within each one's soul

Faith and peace are the ties that bind
Fruit and armor on the body of our minds...
Your soul, your spirit, these inseparable terms
Speak of a place that is one in the same
That place from within going out to others
By the outward sign of what you do and how you react
This is the battle we fight every day
We start with ourselves, reaching others this way
There are six pieces of armor
And, nine pieces of fruit
This speaks to balance
In the peaceful pursuit
For in the preparation for war
We make peace in defense
Carry on young Warrior &Warrioress
Your time is well spent

Ephesians 6:10-18
Galatians 5: 22-23

Films, Motion Pictures & MOVIES!

Immediately, by my use of the term "movies", you know I am not a Film Snob.  I also did not grow up in the era before "movies".  Even as I write this, Blogger is questioning my use of the term by underlining it with a red squiggly line, but that's what I call them, movies!  So, sue me if you don't like it. People used to only see celebrities in still shots printed in magazines before the age of television.  Then, they would go see them at the "movie theater", after hearing about it on the radio.  Nobody ever called them Film Theatres, did they?  The word "film" is really a description of the medium by which we are enabled to view "movies" rather than it being a description of the experience of watching still pictures transformed into motion.  So, I'm sticking with "movies", but I am not opposed to calling them motion pictures.  For the "purists" out there that insist on using the word "film...

STEM STEAM

Over the last ten years, I've met and gotten to know several students at UGA. Some of you have become parents since I met you in your earliest adulthood. Some of you will become parents. As such, and whichever the case may be, you might want to follow this educational development as the years progress. Arts & Sciences, to me, represent an historically neglected symbiotic relationship. In fact, much time has been spent trying to separate the two, as we also do with politic s and religion. Our nation was founded on such a symbiotic relationship, and while one side aims to separate the two, the other side wants to force feed one to the other. The key is in balance, whether it is between Arts & Sciences, or Politics & Religion... one thing our earliest leaders were about was tolerance to those of varying opinions (predominantly Christian, but not necessarily) and who come not to cause physical harm from their differences. Some these days argue it is harmful to offen...

The Beauty of the Internet                                          In the last few days, I have received four marriage proposals from women on the Internet.  For some reason a website called Tagged is chock full of beauties who don't to have English as their native tongue, and they desperately want to be in a committed relationship, or marriage.  Usually, I ignore these things, but I was bored, so I decided to have some fun.  I couldn't resist.  I mean when a beauty like this shows up on your computer screen, telling you she wants to spend the rest of her life with you and she’s even willing to live in a tent, then you have to appreciate the humility of it all, and say come and get me! As you may know, I am still homeless, but I am working now.  It’s just that during the last pay period, I o...
