Somthing Questioned By Many

Note from Mike Patnode Oct 2020-2021

Why I believe God permits suffering: John 15:13, John 3:16

Jesus sufferd and died for us to receive eternal life with him. Revelation 21:4

Is My Suffering Meaningless? No! God does not cause us to suffer. James 1:13

I don’t know any one that enjoys suffering. But it truly has eternal value. If and only if we give it to Jesus. The Passion of Jesus on the cross. Made suffering redemptive salvific love. He conquers sin by His obedience unto death. Jesus invites us to share in His Passion. This gives meaning to our suffering. It is no longer useless and meaningless. We now can have hope in our suffering as we can offer up our sufferings in union with Him. Our suffering can become part of Christ’s work. Through my own cross. Jesus invites us to join Him in His sacrifice of love. Powerful if we can understand we are united to Christ in His suffering for the redemption of people all over the world. We are living the Eucharist. Divine suffering is the currency of Jesus Christ our Lord. Suffering can help perches souls or help souls get to heaven. We can take part in that if we offer up our sufferings to Jesus’s cross.

1 Peter 4:13. Romans 8:17. 1 Peter 2:21. Luke 6:22,23. Romans 8:17. 2 Corinthians 1:7.

Let us not waste our suffering when it can help in saving souls with Jesus. All our suffering in sickness, disease and sacrifice’s should be offerd to the Lord’s cross. The elderly can offer up so much to the cross. We can help with conversion, Faith and Salvation from our sufferings. Just imagen even helping save one soul. Colossians 1:24, Luke 15:7 and Luke 15:10.

God allows sin, suffering and death in this world. That we may know that God, Jesus and Holy Spirit is greater then every sin, suffering and death. Look to the Cross of Christ to see this. In Jesus I trust.

Please look up Bible verses to help understand how this works. Pray often for others to come to salvation. Knowing we can only fully change our self for the better. Matthew 7:3, John 7:24, Matthew 7:12

Why dose God let suffering happen? To help us to convert to following him. So we will see a need for Him. That we may rely on Him. It’s much like a spaking from a parent. To teach us something we need to know. It is out of love for us. In the hope we repent of our sin’s. That we might choose to follow Jesus.

The writings of St. Faustina Kowalska.

“If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of the Holy communion, and the other is suffering”. Her diary, entry 1804.

I hope this will help some people think differently about our suffering in this life.

There's always a question!

I have never used anything but Google Picasa since I have been into photography. Google has discontinued it an no longer supports it. I have searched many options and have found nothing that compares. I want something to store,organize, edit and e-mail pictures from. What do you use ?

While uploading the photo, I was thinking about giving you some context, but I'd rather leave it up to you.

I need my raincloud to go away.

And I hate my hands. Sometimes they look too big, and sometimes they look too small, but they never look like the right sized hands. Does anyone else get that? I think it might just be me. This was also taken at an odd angle, with odd lighting, and so it accentuates the oddness of my hand. 14 & 15 are the questions that I have to do for biology class tomorrow.

Do you?

Question mark butterfly, named for the tiny white mark on the underside of the wing, shaped vaguely like the punctuation symbol. If you look closely you can see the mark on this one as it feeds on juices from the orange slice I put out for birds. I love the shape of the wings on this species. Should one land on a tree branch they can blend in perfectly with leaves and bark.

Montell, Uvalde County, Texas in July 2021

تعثرنا بغيابكم وبكينا. حملناكم معنا فما عدنا نذهب إلى مكان.

اقتفينا آثاركم فلم نصل لأبعد من جدار بارد. !

احتفظنا بأشيائكم, ملابسكم, صوركم, روائحكم القديمة

فامتلأنا بالعثّ وخيوط طويلة حمراء ملبدة بالدمّ من آثار الهرش.

لا نريد منكم شيئاً,

سوى أن تأخذوكم معكم وتنسونا..!

ولتنسوا أيضاً عناوين بيوتنا وأرقام هواتفنا كي لا يطرأ لكم العبور,

فقد صرنا نعرف شهوتكم للغياب, ونعرف مشقة التذكر.

وها قد فهمنا, فلكي تموتوا بطريقة جيدة, كان عليكم أن تفسدوا بقية حياتنا

What is going on there that is so funny?? A couple of guesses... of course it can be because of a joke... Imagine how good it should be to make smile this guy! But if I have to bet... the joy of falling through a toboggan is beyond age or species! :D

¿Qué pasa ahí que es tan divertido? Se me ocurren un par de posibilidades...pudiera ser por un chiste...imaginaros lo bueno que debe ser para hacer reir a este amigo! Pero si tuviera que apostar...la felicidad de dejarse caer por un tobogan está más allá de la edad y de la especie!! :D

So, as you can tell from the title, I have another question for you guys. This ones about my profile picture, I'm thinking it might be time to change it up a bit, seeing as I've had this one since I began here on Flickr. I may also change my banner as well, just so everything's been changed.

So... yeah, what do you guys think? Feel free to give suggestions and opinions. I know this is probably quite a minor thing, but still felt it might be something worth asking. XD

EDIT #1: I have found one I'm pretty happy with, thoughts?

EDIT #2: May try this one, seeing as this one is me. (or at least a version of me. XD)

God does not send down on us a burden which we could not raise up

Study

I've been obsessed trying to build the Vultures first mark wing pack. My head is starting to feel like a pretzel on how to finish this.

Finding suitable attachment to arc over the turbines is my issue and possibly different wing tips.

Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated 😁

The bathroom question is no question at all. The ladies' room is obviously where I always go. Can you imagine the disturbance if I tried to go anywhere else?

07/21: Question...? ❓

Back with a Question: "Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room?" Question...? is about hope that your ex is similarly unable to move on from you and that their newer attempts at love are only “second best after that meteor strike.” (So its fair that I made this picture with my ex) :p

Question: Where is the monster? Where do these steel beasts come from, appearing without warning? Terrifying questions that sometimes haunt the sharp minds of our little ones as they innocently wander through the pedestrian streets of Périgueux. Is it normal to feel that shiver, that hint of panic creeping down their spine at the sight of these strange mechanical creatures? Of course not... but what can you do? It’s all part of the genius – or should I say the mischief? – of our dear mayor... www.flickr.com/photos/196162574@N04/52332610445/in/album-...

Question : Où est le monstre ? D’où surgissent ces molosses d’acier qui surgissent sans prévenir ? Terribles interrogations qui tourmentent parfois l’esprit éveillé de nos chers petits, lorsqu’ils déambulent innocemment dans les ruelles piétonnes de Périgueux. Est-ce normal de sentir ce frisson, ce soupçon de panique qui serpente le long de leur échine à la vue de ces étranges créatures mécaniques ? Bien sûr que non… mais que voulez-vous, c’est là tout le génie – ou la malice ? – de notre chère maire... www.flickr.com/photos/196162574@N04/52332610445/in/album-...

"what does that mean?" "What is a Brickhouse Model?" "How do I become a Brickhouse Angel, or Elite?" "Uhhh... Beautifuk? Thank you...what is Beautifuk? lol"

In the year and more since I started Flickr Photography and Modeling, and even more so after I took the Brickhouse nickname given me and made it a group concept... I get alot of questions about it. Some controversy in what I do and don't celebrate or allow as photo material, and more, simple questions about my look and my avatar, by very sweet admirers who ask for tips.

I've never gotten alot of favs... I've yet to break 200 that's ok, I put out photos of me for me, and what I like, and the same goes for my groups, Brickhouse... because now that is my true passion... taking photos of others like me, and posting them, and sharing what they post.

As indicated, Brickhouse started as a nickname, or stage name, back when I was dancing at clubs and Bachelor parties; Dj's started play Rob Zombie's version of the song when I'd come onstage and it grew from there. When I decided to make a group in Flickr, mostly to show off the many wonderful photos I saw others doing, it seemed a natural thing for me to name it "Brickhouse Avatars", because that is the kind of group I wanted... to celebrate not clothing, not romance, and certainly not porn. Just beautiful photos of jaw dropping avatars, men and women alike.

Before long I realized two things quickly; others liked it, and wanted to be members, and wanted to show off their own works in it. Not everyone who joined are what I would call Brickhouse personally...but that's ok... Beauty comes in all forms, Brickhouse is one of these, rather than the other way around, and if they wanna celebrate their own form of it, I'll enjoy it along with the rest :)

I added a second group, Brickhouse Elite, and kept it Invitation only, and choose photos myself from the main group to add to it. In this way, I can let members decide what they feel is right for the main group, and still celebrate my own interpretations.

So, what is Brickhouse?

Brickhouse is most definitely a select window into 'What is Beauty' or 'what is sexy'. This most certainly means not everything beautiful is Brickhouse -- and Brickhouse is equally certain not to be beautiful or even sexy by everyone's standards. In the photo above, I put some things related to what I consider Brickhouse, and use my avatar as the basis, with some catch phrases that have come along, and a few sticky noted, numbered and explained below... hopefully this will answer some of those questions, as well as explain why my rules choose to exclude some thing I do not consider right for it :)

1. Poses and settings

"All witchcraft comes from carnal lust, which is in women, insatiable."

~ The Malleus Maleficarum, Part I, Question VI

"she could teach the Devil a few things about Temptation"

I'm not a photographer. I'm a graphic designer and model who does some photography of my own. Those are my strengths, in my own opinion, where this is concerned; making a desirable avatar, and modeling her for those who find her desirable. When I DO make photos, I choose poses that exemplify this, and photos that are often simple in nature, with alot of close-ups that celebrate the avatar rather than a setting.

2. The Look

"Tina Turner is someone that I admire, because she made her strength feminine and sexy. Marilyn Monroe, because she was a curvy woman. I'm drawn to things that have the same kind of silhouettes as what she wore because our bodies are similar."

~ Beyonce Knowles

Brickhouse is by no means meant to be 'realistic'... and not really even 'beautiful'. It's meant to be desirable, objectified, and lusted for. This is one reason I can include gorgeous men as well as woman... and also why I exclude some things like under or over developed attributes or gender bending... to avoid stepping too far away from things like "perfection", "Masculinity" or "Femininity". Brickhouse is sensuality and sexuality of the mind as well as body and soul, and that reflects how I built my own avatar and how I dress her... whether it's on a beach, in a club, roleplaying, and /or just being who I am.

3. The Body

"The android was designed as a sex doll, and therefore she was made into the perfect personification of feminine perfection... and then we added a few cup sizes to her breasts, and made her hips rounder and fuller, with a luscious, yet firm backside. Because men do not want perfection... they want better than perfection, and their hormones and eyesight is therefore wired this way..."

Author Piers Anthony, the Apprentic Adept Series

Heh, yes. The Brickhouse body is all about that... a fuller figure than 'perfection', with juicy and over developed (in some people's opinions) attributes, while still maintaining a gyminist or fitness perfection of tone and firmness. Not possible? Pssst, I don't care... This isn't the Real World, this is Brickhouse.

4. Those big bodacious bewbs

"Big, beautiful tits. Because you can't suck on a personality."

~ One of a gabillion memes celebrating big boobs

I've had so many people tell me they think my breasts are too big... they literally come from nowhere when I'm at Surfer's or shopping.. it always makes me laugh.

Why? because for every person who questions it, I have 50 who tell me how great they are... that's why. So suck it :D

I don't pay alot of attention to favs, I mentioned before... but I do notice what is faved. TC Tackleberry and I have talked about this... we are almost identical in shape, but she gets more ass favs and I get more boob favs... so there's no magic and no science... but I'll keep with what I have, tyvm... and Brickhouse will remain a home for the beautifully bodacious ^^

5. Dat Ass!

"Being a badass is fun, but having a great ass is better!"

~ Yet another choice from a gabillion memes on the topic

a lot of femininity comes from various aspects of our personality, our clothing styles, and even other objectified aspects such as eyes, breasts and hair. But ask most men what their eyes stay with the longest, and chances are, it's a great ass.

I've spent alot of time perfecting mine to what I want it to be... nips and tucks and tweaks and shimmies... everything from my shape to my skin to my clothing choice to my ao, and a few enhancers on top of that. I'm happy with it, and Brickhouse is definitely inclusive when it comes to objectifying a great base :)

6. The Face

"We can assume that Helen of Troy probably had many aspects of beauty... but history has reason to call her "The face that launched a thousand ships..."

As much as I love a gorgeous body on my avatar, it's a truth that I initially spent the majority of time creating the face as well. To me, the face of your avatar is really and ultimately who you are. I choose to exemplify as Brickhouse those who spend as much time and detail on beautiful faces, with amazing eyes, kissable, pouty lips, and yes, a glossy, glorious head of hair.

My obsession with Talena's face possible went into overdrive; I literally took Fantamorph, a photo morphing software, and morphed aspects from my favorite celebrities:

Eyes:

Angelina Jolie

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Amber Heard

Gigi Hadid

Mila Kunis

Adriana Lima

Charlize Theron

Megan Fox

Catherine Zeta Jones

Kim Kardashian

Nose:

Jessica Alba

Blake Lively

Emma Watson

Meghan Markle

Zhang Ziyi

Kim Kardashian

Natalie Portman

Scarlett Johansson

Lips

Angelina Jolie

Kristin Davis

Drew Barrymore

Liv Tyler

Scarlett Johansson

Elizabeth Taylor

Jessica Alba

Ava Gardner

I then took the final result, and morphed it with Kim Kardashian, J-Lo, and Salma Hayek, my favorite Latinas, went dark eyed, and boom...that's the face of Talena :)

7. The Hair

A woman's hair is her true crown of beauty, and with it, she is a queen at all times."

~ Oribe Canales

I believe that quote, and I try to find hair that emulates those celebrities that have the hair I love best; Kim and Kylie, Priyanka Chopra, and Abigail Ratchford.

Hairstyles definatly play a part in what is Brickhouse.

8. Legs and Height

Short legs can be cute and sexy, but long legs give the best views for what you're reaching for...

~ Tall Girls Ad

If there was anything I would change about myself, it would probably be that I'm fated to be an amazon; Photos and trial and error have convinced me that no matter how often I've made myself shorter, I'll always go back. So be it, I'm tall :)

Fortunately, this is NOT a requirement of Brickhouse, for I have seen many of the Brickhouse best beauties who's successfully bridged the gap, and I will celebrate them always.

9. Catch Phrases and their meanings/origins

WWTD

'What Would Talena Do?' came about when I took a stab at some clothing designs to celebrate the name and trademarks. I wanted a simple phrase for the back of the undies that went with the shorts I made, and WWTD seemed the funnest that would fit...and wasn;t overly used like 'Daddy's Girl" and a host of others... I could call it Mine and Brickhouse's.

Brickhouse Goddess

This "title" given me is actually a combination of things. Brickhouse Elite and Brickhouse Angel were tags made for those who'd risen to those levels, so Darian suggested Brickhouse Goddess as my own title as Group Admin, since more than a few admirers were tagging me "The Goddess of Lust and Desire". I'm extremely grateful for those who have said so, and I hope this title is a good way to show it.

This Is How You Brickhouse

This came about during the WildBrick Event, when I wanted something to headline my booth and the ads I was creating for it. Eventually it became the tagline and pictorial series of Brickhouse Elite I'd been creating, which Darian, when he ran Brickhouse for awhile, took and revamped in his series of "Brickhouse Angels"...which happily, he still does today :)

It's Brickhouse, Bitch!

Yeah, I swiped it shamelessly from Britney :) The full phrase is actually "It's Brickhouse, Bitch, not Whorehouse!" and came about when I found that some of the guys who were joining Brickhouse were doing so purely to find and add models to their "Porn harms"... where they do not credit the models in their photos out of fear of losing them to other, probably better photographers. I was disgusted to see this happening, and made a statement...the statement has stuck, thankfully :)

Bueatifuk

This is most definatly my favorite catchphrase for Brickhouse girls ^^ It came about when a friend shouted "Talena, you're so Beautifuk!" -- obviously a typo, since "K" and "L" sit right next to eachother. Knowing this, but teasingly, I shouted back "What the hell is Beautifuk??" and without missing a beat, she hollered "Beauiful AND Fuckable!"

I decided this was the best description of Brickhouse I'd heard stated in a single word... and that's what it is today: Brickhouse is Beautifuk!

The Brickhouse Logo

- A kiss, because that is sexier than a heart, which is why I use it alot in comments and attached to my name :)

- My Silhouette, because that's where Brickhouse got it's start

- Brickhouse styled letting, which is my trademark for my store, these groups, and also Darian's Brickhousae Magazine.

Brickhouse models and photographers I admire most:

- Davina Constantine, my partner in crime along with Darian, and his amazingly gorgeous wife. A Brickhouse Angel with the biggest heart in the midwest, and a savvy and admired photographer in her own right :)

- Moxxie Korinakova, one of my very first Flickr Idols, right up to present, and a founding member of Brickhouse

- TC Tackleberry, My other major Flickr Idol, definately my BBF, and amazing goddess of a Brickhouse Angel

- Kimori Korro Purely amazing Brickhouse Angel, and blond bombshell bimbo with a brain, an early idol, and sweetest girl ever!

- Chrissy Firebrand , a jaw dropping beauty, my favorite sexbomb, and Brickhouse Angel whose devotion to us has always amazed and gratified me :)

- Lara Sands Dieterie ...omg I just love this girl :) My and TC's Love Child, a bouncy beauty and Brickhouse Angel you love the moment you see her!

- ಌiʆy βɑʀtɦɛʆɱɛรร♡ , a purely Limitless goddess whose mind is as beautiful as her Brickhouse avatar, and whose skills as a photographer are breathtaking! I still hope to see her made a Brickhouse Angel ;)

- ӇЄℒℒ ҠąϮϮ , Another hopeful Brickhouse Angel, music lover and glorious photographer... she exemplifies Brickhouse hardly without trying, and I simply love her work :)

- Keanna Appletor . Remember when I said not all that is Brickhouse are amazons? Keanna is pure sex kitten and beauty all in one, a sweet and intelligent girl, and a fab photographer whose work I always love to see :)

- Lita Alexander-Masterson , another bodacious beauty, and a Brickhouse Angel... Lita is helpful and loyal in all she does, always ready to be there when we need her, and her photography is amazing!

- Colette Devin, a Brickhouse Angel whom god took, molded into a sexy dynamo, and added pure sweetness and sunshine :) Love her avatar, love her work, and love having her with us!

- Madison Resident, an incredibly beautiful and sexy goddess, a Brickhouse Angel, and extremely talented photographer. She amazes me with every single photo, and I love having her in Brickhouse as much as I love talking to her in world :)

Human attention is an amazing phenomenon! It can be taken away, distracted for a while, concentrated on the unimportant or collected in a beam ... It can be scattered. We live in a time when there is a phenomenon such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). While psychologists and other specialists are trying to answer many questions related to it, some see IT as an opportunity ...

In photography, this can also be used for good. How? It is only necessary to ask the CORRECT QUESTION!

Como todos me chamam de maníaca porque adoro empilhar coisas, estes dias descobri que existem até competições para empilhar as coisas mais inusitadas.

Convenhamos, isso exige uma certa habilidade....rsrrrs...........e paciência. O resultado é sempre bacana ou divertido( quando aquilo tudo despenca).
