Eternal light...

Ibaraki_Kasugaoka. This Japanese Architect has constructed the perfect building, for me, in which to worship. My reasoning, is due to the reduction of religious iconography which leads to, well, religion. Since Yeshua didn't come to create a religion, I feel simplicity best suits worship of an unseen Creator. Though I would never want to reduce the importance of the work completed upon the cross, the symbol of my shame and at the same time the triumph of my Messiah. Furthermore, Yeshua speaks of how HE is the light of the world and came into this world to save, by way of the cross... This building, as a place to worship, complements singleness of though and focus, not on earthly objects, but the very light that is the symbol of life and a picture of Yeshua.

Italy is still a backwards society, but things are still working out. Busy every weekend with 'work' so I can't complain too much.

I didn't know Aga is in China, pretty cool. He's the REAL international jet setter, not me! :)

That structure is very well thought out. The lack of images and idols is more than obvious but I feel needed. Yeshua was a bit of a rabble-rouser in his time, especially in some temples.
ah...vee I like your take on Yeshua... He was quite the stand out guy, especially in the big temple, when the illegitimate priests were running a "sacrifice for profit" schism... and He broke it up, literally!

yeah... i guess its dead space time...when most church buildings become a sinful waste of nothingness, no life or good deeds being done...nada, nothing! We gotta change that! I've been formulating a plan... to be continued..

stages of teddy bear life

Artist Stephanie Metz does a wonderful service to life with this incredible idea. The stages of development from a teddy bears perspective, in which children, might gain an understanding of the miracle of life. What an imaginative way to simplify the goings on within the womb when life is being fearfully and wonderfully woven together. I'm looking for this set for my own children's education! I probably won't get the skull rendition of teddy bear, however, I also applaud a very seemingly original idea.

finite first day..

Malakai's first day of pre-preschool was one that I actually missed. I rendered this from a photo that the lovely misses took, and he seemed so melancholy...I may have exaggerated this emotion, but I hope I captured it. He happens to love school now.
