architect's own house, hellebæk, 1950-1952.
architect: jørn utzon.
here she is, a small house, yet expansive; monumental in conception, humble in materials; built in the middle of a forest, but raised on a low platform as if standing back slightly from nature, viewing it rather than being part of it.
from the lecture notes of kay fisker, utzon's teacher at the royal academy, we know that he would quote voysey's 1906 book, "reason as the basis of art":
"the sense of order conveyed by breath of surfaces and reposeful arrangement does suggest qualities akin to faithfulness, simplicity and selfcontrol. we do not naturally value simplicity in ourselves. to have travelled much, to be versatile and cosmopolitan in our tastes and complex in our behavior, is to most people more attractive than simplicity of character and conduct which, to aquire in these days, needs strong will and independent thought."
I am reminded of utzon's house by these words - it could never have happened without the English freestyle in the first place. yet contrary to voysey's rant, utzon appears to have learnt simplicity from his travels. today, such a claim is as absurd as voysey made it sound in 1906 but following the horrors of the second world war and the european selfdestruction, the idea of travelling the world to find a natural way to live and a natural way to build must have made a lot of sense.
utzon himself wrote, "the simple, primitive life in the country, trips into the mountains with skis or guns, sailing trips, a few weeks together with Arabs in the mountains and the desert, a visit to north america and mexico, the lifestyle of the Indians - all this has formed the basis for the way of life my wife and I have wanted to lead, and thus for the design of the house".
the house was listed in 2005. www.kulturarv.dk/fbb/sagvis.htm?sag=26904023
Last night I went to bed praying for Obama to win the elections, and this morning the first thing I did opening my eyes was to check the news.
I was very very scared a man like Romney could win the elections: he sounded like Berlusconi twenty years ago, when he created the illusion that because he was a good businessman, he could be a good leader...and it was a disaster.
Plus, Romney showed to be very ignorant about foreign policy and his vision of the world is just OLD.
I'm not american, but I'm very aware of how a man alone in the US can change the direction of the world, leading to a disaster (look at what Bush did during his two mandates: wars, and distruction, and a lot of innocent people killed, including all the american soldiers in Iraq).
So thank God for Obama re.elected again!!!!!
(I just took the shot of this magnet I bought in the US in 2009 and I still keep it in my kitchen!!!! :))))
Enduring Faith (2 Cor 4:7-12, 16-18)
I am afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in my body. For I who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in my mortal flesh. So death is at work in me, but life in Christ…. SO I DO NOT LOSE HEART. Though my outer self is wasting away, my inner self his being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for me an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as I look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise my soul will rest in your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and you won't start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
I will call upon Your Name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
Week 8 in 52 Weeks for Dogs
Taivas is well used to my whims for her photo each week but she did find this one tried her patience. She adopted the 'if I don't look at them I won't eat them' attitude. Even so, I had to replace a cookie during the photo shoot when temptation got the better of her.
Let Everything Praise the LORD
150 Praise the LORD!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
3 Praise him with qtrumpet sound;
praise him with flute and harp!
4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
5 Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD!
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ps 150:1–6.
Abide With Me - Matt Redman

VERSE
I have a home
Eternal home
But for now I walk this broken world
You walked it first
You know our pain
But You show hope can rise again up from the grave
CHORUS
Abide with me
Abide with me
Don't let me fall
And don't let go
Walk with me
And never leave
Ever close God abide with me
VERSE
There in the night
Gethsemane
Before the cross
Before the nails
Overwhelmed
Alone You prayed
You met us in our suffering and bore our shame
BRIDGE
O love that will not ever let me go
Love that will not ever let me go
You never let me go
Love that will not ever let me go
VERSE
And up ahead
Eternity
We'll weep no more and sing for joy
Abide with me
We'll weep no more and sing for joy
Abide with me
704. "What Are You Thinking?" We all wonder what are dogs are thinking about from time to time. Other times, we know what's on their minds. Take a photo today that lets us know what's on your dog's mind. Remember to have fun with it!
I am SURE Spanky is thinking......."Mama, please say,'Get it'.......pleeeeeeze!"
Spanky is such a fast learner. He is doing a great job at sitting still with the bone on his nose 'till I say, "Get it!"

Born November 7, 1913: January 4, 1960 Died
As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
At 30 a man should know himself like the palm of his hand, know the exact number of his defects and qualities, know how far he can go, foretell his failures - be what he is. And, above all, accept these things.
At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.

Lord, I want to live a life of godliness, will you help me to fear You, to deepen my understanding of Your love and heighten my desire for Your fellowship!
I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen
Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away your indignation toward us!
5 Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
6 Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us your steadfast love, O LORD,
and grant us your salvation.
8 Let me hear what God the LORD will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;
but let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12 Yes, fthe LORD will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a way.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ps 85:4–13.
(In Memory of Milo 2012)
4 One thing have I asked of the LORD,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon othe beauty of the LORD
and to inquire in his temple.
5 For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will qlift me high upon a rock.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ps 27:4–5.
It is not easy to stand out, is it? I remember times when I woudn't raise my hand to ask a question or speak up. I didn't do it because I was afraid I was going to sound stupid and I was concerned what others thought of me. Haven't we all been afraid to stand out? I just try to remember that there is no one else like me and that's okay. #success #professional #attitude #different #standout #confidence #work #personalresponsibility #feelings #selfcontrol #emotions #kindness #smart #photography #365photochallenge #365project #project365 #365_today #Project365 #camera #365photos #photos #daily #dailypics
The Lord GOD Will Seek Them Out
11 “For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples aand gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing and, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. 16 I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Eze 34:11–16.

Life by the Spirit
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. ~ Galatians 5

6 So we can confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Heb 13:6.
(Hurley: Lab)
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly people,
from tthe deceitful and unjust man
deliver me!
2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you rejected me?
Why do I go about mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling!
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ps 43:1–5.
Psalm 33:18
18 Behold, ethe eye of the LORD is on those who fear him,
fon those who hope in his steadfast love,
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ps 33:18. The Psalms present the same picture. It is the comfort of Israel that “the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear Him, … to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine (Ps. 33:18, 19). An answer rings out to the cry of the righteous, and there is a comforting correlation between the walk in His fear and the divine answer for today and the future (cf. Ps. 34:3–7; Ps. 84:2, 3; Ps. 94:14; Ps. 146). This connection may be summarized: “Commit thy way unto Jehovah. Trust also in Him … He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy justice as the noonday” (Ps. 37:5, 6).
G. C. Berkouwer, Faith and Justification (Studies in Dogmatics; Grand Rapids: W. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co., 1954), 114–115.
Hebrews 9:27–28 (ESV)
27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.
Ursula K. Le Guin
9 We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, 10 nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as an example, but tthey were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. 12 Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), 1 Co 10:9–13.
