Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.

My great-grandfather in my maternal side had two-colored eyes. It was very rare that he had one bright ocean blue and the other a medium light gray one. He was of Spanish descent. Family stories were told to us grandchildren that he had a third-eye and can see things ordinary normal folks cannot see. Superstitions I supposed...

 

"... Superstitions regarding eye colour are related to heterochromia, a rare condition that causes eyes to be different colours.

 

Some Native American cultures believe that people or animals (especially dogs) with different coloured eyes have the ability to see heaven and earth at the same time. This sounds like a blessing, but in the pagan traditions of Europe, having different coloured eyes was associated with witchcraft."

Es verdad,

pues reprimamos esta fiera condition

esta furia

esta ambition,

por si alguna vez, soñamos.

Y si haremos

pues estamos en el mundo tan singular que el vivir, solo es soñar.

[...] Y en el mundo, en conclusion

todos sueñan lo que son,

aunque ninguno lo entiende.

 

Yo sueño que estoy aqui,

de estas prisiones cargado,

y soñé que in otro estado

mas lisonjero me vi.

 

¿Qué es la vida?

Un frenesi.

 

¿Qué es la vida?

Una ilusion,

una sombra,

una ficcion.

Y el mayor bien

es pequeño,

que toda la vida es sueño,

y los sueños sueños son."

 

(P. Calderón de La Barca)

Or, the separation of church and foyer. I found this 'ghost town' relic, along with a few other abandoned buildings, while seeking out old grain elevators in rural Saskatchewan. The foyer is separating from the main body of the church. Like most of the buildings in the former town, the church (and the elevators) was in very bad condition.

This year we end the Seven Days of Thanksgiving series in Paprihaven on the day after. Why? While it is wonderful to have a day set aside specifically to acknowledge our impossible debt to God by expressing our gratitude, every day should truly be a day of thanksgiving. After the amazing celebration at the Simmons,* the girls are back at Tracy's house.

 

Tracy: Wow. So tired. What a great time. Thank you, God.

 

Buckley: I'm so stuffed! I'll sleep on this bench if I can't make it upstairs.

 

Tracy: Who said you're staying here??

 

Buckley: You gotta be responsible, Trace! You can't let me drive home in this condition.

 

Briar: HAHAHA!

 

Tracy: You're not drunk! You don't even drink!

 

Buckley: I'm loaded with tryptophan. I can't make it. I'm DONE FOR, offissaaAAaa!

 

Briar: HAHA! What's 'trippafan'?

 

Tracy: It's an amino acid in turkey that people say makes you sleepy. I think what happened is we all just ate too much.

 

Briar: I ate sooooo much! I looooved that corn casserole! Who made that?

 

Tracy: I think Honor did.

 

Buckley: Ooohhh, I'm gonna pop. Let's just all get in bed, under the covers, and tell stories til we fall asleep.

 

Briar: That's FUN!

 

Buckley: But y'all GOTTA CARRY ME UUUUUUP!

 

Briar: HAHAHA!

 

Tracy: Oh, good grief. I'm stuck with both of you tonight. Are you sure you even have homes? You're always here.

 

Buckley: Oh! Haha! On Paprichat, Sheila Harper posted a video of her poodle grabbing a piece of turkey from the table!

 

Briar: I want to see that!

 

Tracy: Can you not be on your phone for like two seconds? And, I want to see too. And, who's Sheila Harper?

 

Buckley: She's got that pretty green Jaguar? Always real shiny? **

 

Tracy: Oh, yes.

 

Briar: I wanna see the video!

 

Buckley: Then come over here.

 

Briar: Can't move. You come over here.

 

Buckley: Uh uh.

 

Briar: BuuUUUUCK!!!

 

Buckley: You're outta luck, kid.

 

*WOOF!*

 

Briar: Hey, Biff!

 

Buckley: The Biffster!

 

Tracy: Wow, what a great day. And now we're just chilling. Peace. Joy. Love. God is good.

 

Buckley: All the TIME!

 

Briar: All the time!

 

Tracy: And, all the time...

 

Buckley: God is GOOD!

 

Briar: God is good!

 

Tracy: Bible challenge, then we somehow struggle upstairs. God's loving kindness. Psalm 117:2, "For His lovingkindness is great toward us, and the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Praise the Lord!"

 

Briar: Psalm 63:3, "Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You."

 

...

 

Tracy: Buckley...

 

Buckley: Um... What's the one? "Please answer me God because you are loving and kind... and compassionate?"

 

Tracy: Close enough! Psalm 69:16, "Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me." Okay, upstairs! Up!

God wants you to give thanks.

 

Well, Thanksgiving came and went. Did your gratitude last beyond your afternoon nap? For many, that’s the extent of their thanksgiving—a one-time, get-it-out-of-the-way holiday that reminds them to reflect on how blessed they are. Too often and too quickly, people resort back to being ingrates. But God wills us to be thankful all the time, in all things. That’s the point of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 where Paul says, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” So if you’re saved, Spirit-filled, sanctified, submissive, and suffering, you have one thing left to do in order to follow God’s will—be saying thanks.

 

Paul’s simple, direct command—in everything give thanks—allows believers no excuse for harboring ingratitude. In everything carries an unlimited requirement. It refers to everything that occurs in life. With the obvious exception of personal sin, we are to express thanks for everything. No matter what struggles or trials, God commands us to find reasons for thanking Him always (Acts 5:41; James 1:2-3; 1 Peter 1:6-9). That’s His will.

 

If you’re not obeying that command, you’re not following God’s will. Think of it like this: If gratitude doesn’t come easy for you, neither will finding God’s will. Or to put it another way, if you struggle with being thankful, you’ll struggle with following God’s will. Need some motivation? Here are some reasons God wills you to be thankful:

 

God commands it:

 

Gratitude should come naturally to believers in response to all God has done on their behalf, but because of our hardness of heart, God enjoins us to thanksgiving with commands (Philippians 4:6; Colossians 2:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:18). Therefore, all forms of ingratitude are sinful. Paul commanded the Colossians, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful” (Colossians 3:15).

 

When Paul describes the believer’s Spirit-filled life, he writes, “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father” (Ephesians 5:20). God doesn’t merely command those expressions of gratitude and leave believers helpless to comply. He enables us to articulate them (Philippians 2:13), and is pleased when we do.

 

Joni Eareckson Tada, who was involved in an accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down, writes, “Giving thanks is not a matter of feeling thankful, it's a matter of obedience.”

 

Thankfulness acknowledges God’s sovereignty:

 

The single, greatest act of worship you can render to God is to thank Him. It’s the epitome of worship because through gratitude, we affirm God as the ultimate source of both trial and blessing—and acknowledge our humble acceptance of both.

 

With a thankful heart, you can say in the midst of anything, “God be praised.” That kind of attitude looks beyond the circumstance to the plan of God. It sees beyond the pain to the sovereignty of God. It remembers, “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). An attitude of thankfulness enables us to deal with those who wrong us, saying with Joseph, “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20). Those who are thankful see the providential hand of God everywhere and say, “God, I thank You for the peaceful times as well as the hard times—a difficult marriage, a challenging job, a severe illness—because I know You will use those things for my good and Your glory.”

 

The grateful Christian remembers that suffering perfects, confirms, strengthens, and establishes him (1 Peter 5:10). God wills that kind of thankfulness.

 

God judges ingratitude:

 

William Shakespeare wrote, “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child. Ingratitude thou marble hearted fiend.” If Shakespeare understood the hostile attitude behind thanklessness, imagine what God must think about it.

 

Ingratitude is the very essence of an unregenerate heart, ranking among the most intolerable sins in Scripture. The apostle Paul identified unbelievers as ungrateful: “For even though they knew God [through conscience and general revelation], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:21). Because man in his pride fails to honor and glorify God as Creator, he also refuses to thank Him for His gracious provision. Ingratitude betrays unbelief, and both sins bring about God’s judgment.

 

Although God is the source of every good thing that men possess—giving life, breath, rain, sunshine, and other natural blessings to the just and unjust alike (Matthew 5:45; Acts 14:15–17)—the natural man refuses to thank Him. In his fallen mind, to thank God is to acknowledge his own obligation to worship Him.

 

In summary, God wills our being thankful in all things because gratitude is the ultimate expression of a transformed heart. But thanklessness can infest and destroy a church, marriage, family and home. So cultivate a heart of gratitude. Be thankful for all things and in all circumstances. That’s God’s will. Are you following it?

Tatoi Air Force Base. Hellenic Air Force Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc MJ755 arriving home (Tatoi AFB) after a complete overhaul back to flying condition at Biggin Hill (UK). The plane was built in 1943 and took part in several military operations during WWII. After the war it was given (along with 77 more units) to Greece by the UK Government in order to rebuild its Air Force. In 1953 performed it's last flight. Then after spending the next seven decades in different museums in Greece as static display, thanks to the Icarus Foundation efforts it was sent to Biggin Hill (UK) to be restored back in flying condition. After two years of hard work, today we were able to welcome it back home.

Mt Sangthang སང་ ཐང་ 6430 m.

Almost 85 km distance away.

Mount Sangthang is located on the border with India and Tibet.

  

Before knowing the weather condition of the Himalayan region we should understand its geography. The Himalayan region covers an area of 2,250 km with an average width of 200 km.

 

The forest belt of the Himalayan region consists of Oak, Rhododendron, Birch, Pine, Deodar, and Fir. And the monsoon season in this region lasts for mid June till the end of September. The Himalayas influences the meteorological conditions in the Indian subcontinent to the south and in the Central Asian highlands to the north to a great extent. It acts a climatic divider circulating the air and water system to a great extent. Because of its altitude and location it blocks the passage of the cold winds coming from the north to the Indian sub continent thereby making India's climate much more moderate. It also influences the rainfall pattern in India. The combined effect of rainfall, latitude and altitude largely influences the forests belts in the Himalayan region. The rainfall is mostly recorded during the monsoon time of June to September but it decreases as you travel from east to west. The snow-capped ranges of the Himalayas stretch 2, 250 km from the Namcha Barwa to Nanga Parbat on the Indus. The range extends from east to west up to central-Nepal and then takes a southeast to northwest direction.
