A Monkey, or better... a Barbar Macaque, is looking at his surroundings. Tons of people have gathered again alongside the walls that border his grounds. A couple of young boys are out and about, yelling and screaming like they just dont care. The monkey sees them, takes a bite from his apple and just keeps sitting there. One of the boys yelles at him, saying things like "Hey, stupid monkey, jump for me!"
But the Monkey wont budge. He just keeps calm and stares at them. The boys are starting to jump in anger and trow twigs and pebbles in his general direction. Non of them hit their mark.
"That damned monekey doesnt do anything!" They yell with red cheecks and mean looking eyes.
After a while, the boys leave with anger and frustration in their hearts... But the Monkey... well... He made them jump without even uttering one, single, word... and takes another bite from his apple with bliss in his heart.
So... who's the stupid monkey now?

One of my Blue Jays visiting the bird feeder. They are such characters. They sqwauk if I don't bring their morning offering of peanuts soon enough, sqwauk at each other and fight and watch me from the trees. They are a regular bunch of comedians, very entertaining.

I've always liked spotty dresses - and you can see that
Sarah's dress really means business, spot-wise!
If you look closely you can just make out the sign. In the South it is not wise to stand too long near kudzu. You may never be seen again!

We had a fabulous day at the Great Wall! Other than the 2.5 hours it took us to get there due to a beer bottle related accident...funny story.
We met a nice German girl on the bus and made friends with her, she spent the day with us. We climbed to the very highest point and then back down again. It was a gorgeous day, weather-wise. I love it up there!
Dear friend, here are 5 things you should know:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
Sincerely,
Someone who cares about you
Garden sculpture of an owl. The owl is the mascot of Temple University, where I went to med school with Hippocrates.
Day 156 of my 366 Project
Quality-wise this would normally be one of those photos that normally gets either deleted or filed away for eternity, but in this case it gets an airing because it's not something you see very often. This is an adult doe rabbit accompanied by five kittens. I watched these guys for several minutes before they all lolloped off into an adjacent field. Every time the doe stopped, the kittens would try and get underneath her, presumably trying to suckle; this would prompt her to jump up and bound off further down the track with the kits in tow.
This is the Harbor Freight Tools hardware store located at 129 Ridgeview Road located in the Ridgeview Shopping Center in Wise, VA. It opened in part of the former Kmart in fall 2016; interestingly, in order to open this store, the old garden shop structure was taken down.
“Where does a wise man kick a pebble? On the beach. Where does a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest.”– G. K. Chesterton
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard...
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
Whenever I see owls, I think of this fun quote. This owl was difficult to spot he was so quiet and still hiding behind the branches of the tree. I had to give it my best effort. Hope you like my peek-a-boo shot.

You can see more pics (from 2000 and 2013) in my Easter Island set.
This is the bulletin cover from our " Open Up and Say Ah" series at Four Corners Church.
It is our quest each time we create artwork for a new series to do something we haven't before and this is a perfect example. This cover is truly the advantage of having creative collaboration. We had come up with and shot a series of photos for the cover (see an example HERE) but Wiseacre had this idea swimming in his head. We had talked about it in brainstorming but dismissed it as too gruesome.
He did this image as an experiment but as the staff and I looked at it more, it embodied exactly what we wanted to say. We were about to move into a series on the book of James and the dangers of the mouth...capable of great good and evil. On this week we are looking what wisdom is...when do we hold our tongue...when do we speak.
Yes...this is grotesque. Yes...it is dark. But I can't take my eyes off of it and I hope you can't either. I think literary critic Gilbert Muller on Flannery O'Connor explains the rationale behind this cover best :
"...the grotesque does not function gratuitously, but in order to reveal underlying and essentially theological concepts."
