Beyond Sunday: Wounds from the Surgeon
Focus Verse of the Week
For he wounds, but he binds up; he shatters, but his hands heal. (Job 5:18, NIV)
Classic Commentary
For he wounds, but he binds up
The surgeon, who makes a wound even more painful by probing and opening it, does so to let out the matter and make way for his medicine. Then he lays on the plaster, and binds it up. So God causes grief and puts his people to pain, by diseases of body, or by making breaches in their families and estates, by other cutting providences. Then he binds up their breach, and heals the stroke of their wound, and in the issue makes all whole again. So it is in spiritual things - by the sharp, two-edged sword of the Word, he cuts and wounds, and gives pain and uneasiness. His Spirit lays open all the corruption of nature, and brings to repentance and humiliation for all transgressions; and then pours in the oil and wine of pardoning grace and mercy, and binds up the wounds that are made.
He shatters, but his hands heal
The same thing is meant as above, expressed by different words. The whole suggests that every afflicted man, and particularly Job, should he behave well, and as he ought, under the afflicting hand of God, would be healed, and become sound and whole again, in body, mind, family, and estate. For, though God for the present caused grief, yet he would have compassion, since he did not willingly grieve the children of men. He did not do it for his own pleasure, but for their good, as a skillful surgeon cuts and wounds in order to heal. See Deuteronomy 32:39, Hosea 6:1, Lamentations 3:32, and Lamentations 3:33.
(Adapted from john gill's exposition of the bible, job 5:18)
A Thought to Keep
No one likes going under the knife, but we like cancer even less. God is in the business of scraping off those warts and moles that threaten to become malignant and attack our souls. He wounds so we might experience wellness in the Spirit.
These are my very close friends in real life. I drew this for them so here it is! Who do you like the best? Comment Below!
Help For NaaNaa
The following is a direct copy of the information from Coral Lacey and Tinker Hax on Flickr to aid NaaNaa Grey (naanaapink):
As many of you now know, NaaNaa Grey (naanaapink in world) is currently in a lot of danger in RL as her extremely religious family have discovered the truth about her sexuality and that she is gay. She posted her story on Facebook yesterday if you want to read it all.
We (Coral Lacey, Tink Hax, Kimma Rayn & Dan Scott) are working on trying to get her out of that situation and somewhere safe. It is not as easy as it might sound as she is currently locked away unable to leave the house without being escorted, her bank cards taken from her, she has very limited access to the internet, via a phone which was thrown through a window after hers was confiscated.
We have contacted various charities, many of which have a 2 week response time or have simply not acknowledged the urgent titled emails from ourselves. We have researched all available visa options and made calls to immigration offices.
Shelters are not an option, her girlfriend tried these when she was initially locked up and they refused to help unless she could physically go there, which of course she couldn't. If she tries to go there now and is turned away it will put her at even further risk.
She will likely have one chance to escape because once her family find out she is trying to leave it will again put her at a greater risk. Our plan is to have her booked on a flight to a safe location, set her up in a temporary rental, as well as us flying to meet her and get her set up and comfortable and then assist in a plan from there.
We are not creating a gofundme. However we are wanting to advertise her store inworld/marketplace. You can check out her flickr here : www.flickr.com/photos/145555528@N02/
If there are products you like created by her, please consider buying them, for yourselves/gifting to others. We have also placed out a small donation pot in case you rather just donate than make a purchase. All donations made to her store are going to be used in getting her to a safe secure location, helping with living costs until she is able to move on to a more permanent location. Hopefully with us.
Of course these plans are subject to change. But the money raised from any sales made at her store will 100% go toward getting her set up whether it be through the flights, visa costs, accommodation, food and whatever else may be needed throughout the process.
SL has proved to be an amazing place in helping others, and we hope that we can come together and help one of our own in a dire situation.

In the name of science - Martyr for the cause.
"Sometimes you're the scientist
Sometimes you're the lab rat
Sometimes it all comes together, baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all" — Just me, covering a song by The Dire Straits: The Bug.
"Dissection. The frog and the rat—that arch-martyrs to science—afford the most convenient subject" — Carl Wedl; 'In Rudiments of Pathological Histology'(1855).
"I could eliminate you in many different ways. But I am neither a murderer, nor a criminal. I am a scientist. You will die in the name of science". — Tchitche; Quote from the film Miss Mend.
"I understand that people become used to anything, eventually, no matter how horrifying. I’ve seen how medical students enter the anatomy lab for the first time. Their cadaver’s hands and face are covered with black plastic and the lower body is draped; all they can see is a torso. Still, they are silent and serious, and their cheeks flush pink. Sometimes people faint or vomit.
But a week later you’ll see them chatting and laughing with their lab partners as they wiggle their fingers around the vessels of the heart. A few months later they’ll dissect the face without any hesitation. They’ll prop the head up on blocks for better access and get to work on the forehead and cheeks and neck, complaining about the number of tiny structures they have to memorize, talking about how much they love to use the bone saw. They act like completely different people than the ones who entered the lab only months before.
Strangely, I’ve had the opposite reaction to animal work. In the beginning the difficulty of the procedures absorbed my thoughts, so it didn’t occur to me to react to what I was doing. Now, the tasks seem simple, so I have plenty of time to observe the crucifixion of a mouse, the insertion of a needle into a heart the size of a jellybean, the blood spreading out beneath the small body like dark angel wings.
Now it seems to me no coincidence that the most famous martyr of all time was not hanged or burned at the stake, but crucified." — Alison Christy; 'Sacrifice. When scientists have to kill' www.lablit.com/article/394

The above image is a scan from an original Kodachrome™ slide. The default size is 2000 x 1250 pixels, so clicking on the photo will enlarge it for better viewing.
The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired through trades or purchases.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.
Comments are welcome.

Place de la République, bent over the windshield of a car to get the reflection and the poster, lol ! Candid, 45mm, full frame.
This is the original shot (no crop). I had plenty of time to compose, so this is the best I could do in terms of framing both the poster and its reflection. However, I wished I could "merge" the two and get rid of the wall completely, but for that, I would have needed another lens, and the ideal format would be a square anyway. Here's the result of the crop. Now the question is: which is "best", and should I crop or not ?!
This is a practical case following up this discussion about street photography and retouching.

This is for my friend steve in australia! He has been a little under the weather so this is to brighten his day and make him feel better hugs from chico
my wife asked me,
where have you been the last three hours ?
I created a picture.
Wow, she said, looks like a Mackintosh.
I didn't think of Charles Rennie ... I was just in a flow ...
I said, pretending to be indignant
and smiled at her ...
:::))) ...
have left the grid several times, that's the only way good things happen ...
grid versus texture versus pattern ...
;-) ...
Because I mentioned Ch.R.Mc ...
I could have also mentioned Oswald Mathias Ungers ...
Mackintosh was contradictory in a contradictory time of upheaval ... he admired the style, Wiki thinks, because of its restraint and economy of means rather than ostentatious accumulation; its simple forms and natural materials rather than elaboration and artifice; and its use of texture and light and shadow rather than pattern and ornament. In the old western style, furniture was seen as ornament that displayed the wealth of its owner; the value of the piece was established according to the length of time spent creating it. In the Japanese arts furniture and design focused on the quality of the space, which was meant to evoke a calming and organic feeling to the interior.
At the same time a new philosophy concerned with creating functional and practical design was emerging throughout Europe: modernism. The central aim in modernism was to develop a purity of expression with designs explicitly responsive to intended building use. Ornament and traditional styles were demoted. Although Mackintosh has been counted as a pioneer of modernism, his work always retained a decorative sensibility and features ornament. Mackintosh took his inspiration from his Scottish upbringing and blended them with the flourish of
Art Nouveau
and the simplicity of Japanese forms.
While working in architecture, Charles Rennie Mackintosh developed his own style: a contrast between strong right angles and floral-inspired decorative motifs with subtle curves (for example, the Mackintosh Rose motif), along with some references to traditional Scottish architecture. The project that helped make his international reputation was the Glasgow School of Art (1897–1909). During the early stages of the Glasgow School of Art Mackintosh also completed the Queen's Cross Church project in Maryhill, Glasgow. It is the only built Mackintosh church design and is now the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society headquarters. As with his contemporary
Frank Lloyd Wright,
Mackintosh's architectural designs often included extensive specifications for the detailing, decoration, and furnishing of his buildings. The majority, if not all, of this detailing and significant contributions to his architectural drawings were designed and detailed by his wife Margaret Macdonald whom Charles had met when they both attended the Glasgow School of Art. Their work was shown at the eighth
Vienna Secession Exhibition
in 1900.

Don't waste time!! Take pictures while waiting for the light to turn green.. This is in a new area not far from where I live.. They must have extended the Urban Boundary because this area was all farmland a couple of years ago...I like driving on these new roads because you miss a nasty intersection on the main highway... Happy Telegraph Tuesday, Everybody!!

For once the title isn't completely random. I took this photo while I was waiting for a friend in front of Beaubourg, also called "centre George Pompidou", a modern art museum in central Paris.
* * * * * *
Comme la photo a été prise en France, voici la traduction en Francais, chose que je ne fais plus.
"Alors que je l'atendais ..."
Pour une fois le titre n'est pas le fruit du hazard. Je m'inspire souvent d'une photographe américaine pour créer un titre. Ce jour la, j'attendais une amie devant Beaubourg ou Centre Georges Pompidou. Quelques elements ont attiré mon regard et m'ont inspiré quelques photos. En voici une, un detail de la façade avant du musée Beaubourg.
I made these cupcakes for my gorgeous Bestie in the world!! She turned 30 today and we all went out for dinner. I really wanted to make her a cake or cupcakes for everyone at the dinner but after talking to Ping the numbers were just getting to big and my hubby said that I shouldn't take it on as it would totally stress me out!! LOL So we (hubby) decide we'd just get her a pressie and leave it at that! Anyhow I was at work today and just felt really stink that I couldn't make her a birthday cake ... anyhow again ... I thought why not just make her a special box of cupcakes just for her!! Oh that totally got me going so I started baking!! I had about 3 hours to bake, make decorations and decorate the cupcakes .... I finished just in time to have a quick shower and take some really bad photos!! So these are very last minute cuppies indeed. To make a long story short... My dearest Pingy LOVED the cupcakes!!! We had a beautiful dinner with family and friends and I just love her to pieces!!!
Happy Birthday Ping Pong!!!

For those of you that have seen episode 114..............you will know the inspiration for this photo.
Stork just before landing.
As non wildlife photographer I tried to update my skills by shooting birds during a bird-show at Gaia Zoo in Kerkrade (NL). So I found out that making sharp photo's from moving birds is trickier than you think. My deepest respect for those photographers who get up early in the morning and wait for a lucky moment to do this kind op photography in the wild.
