What it looks like in my office...

Check out these lovely ladies:


Aren't they amazing? These are my coworkers, whom I've dubbed (from left to right) Ginger Snap, Ginger Tea, and Ginger Ale. Notice a theme there? ;)

We were discussing the advantages of having red hair. They indicated that for females there is not a significant advantage to having red hair. In fact, Ginger Snap asserted, it's a distinct disadvantage. She said that women with red hair "do not date."

I assured her that it was because men in general find red hair alluring, to the point where one may find one's self in the awkward position of not being able to speak coherently. I've been there. Some women are so dazzlingly beautiful, so stunningly gorgeous, that it is quite literally difficult to speak.

I was reminded of a girl I knew in high school. I sat behind her in class and daydreamed incessantly about her hair. And yet, I'm sure that she never knew how attractive I found her, because I never was able to pluck up the courage to talk to her much. Which is weird for me, as I am usually pretty confident and charming. She was just too pretty. Ginger Snap said that her husband said the same thing of her. So I'm not alone. ;)

Anyway, gingers rule. These women in particular are very lovely and I'm grateful for the chance to work with them. 

And here's a pic of yours very truly, just to show that I can fit in the office - with the blue shirt, anyway.

Ephesus

Paul got around. Ephesus is right on the Aegean Sea, on the coast of present-day Turkey. Yesterday he was in Galatia, which was much more towards the middle of Turkey. And when he actually wrote these letters, he was in Rome... So the man could travel. He probably walked. Today's item of interest comes from chapter one in Ephesians. Verses 18 and 19 are particularly interesting: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power This is not the first time Paul talks about an inheritance. In Galatians he talks about the inheritance that comes of being part of the Abrahamic Covenant. He notes that we are joint-heirs through and with Christ. In Ephesians, he uses the word "adoption" - that we are adopted as the Children of Jesus Chris...

Engaged

Three Dog Night got it wrong.  One is not the loneliest number. They were more accurate when they said Two can be as bad as one.  I really wonder how people can survive Without being fully engaged. How they live through each day Without the intimacy I so very much crave... Maybe I am unusual in my desire  To have this intimacy, To want to feel that soul So close to my own Sharing light and warmth, Sharing love and passion, Sharing life. Alas! Alas! Alas! For when I do seek to share It is often only to be rebuffed Denied Or used up, Sucked dry, And left an empty husk.  I want SO MUCH to share And all I have is the cold, digital world Of typing out a blog.

The Other Art

I'm not sure we appreciate photography as much as we do other art forms. Part of this comes from the reality that surrounds and permeates a photograph - it's very, very real, and the photographer strives for clarity and crispness in the representations. Perhaps this is why black and white images continue to be relevant - they strip away extraneous information (color) and leave us with something that is at once familiar and also non-existent - for nothing exists in black and white. Nothing. I also think that pictures are becoming too common-place... Everyone has a camera in their pocket, and while that's a very democratic thing (everyone can express themselves in a picture easily and readily, and can find an audience for these images, which are casually taken and casually viewed, and perhaps just as casually forgotten) I think that we embrace that casual attitude, and it spills over to all aspects of the media, making it impotent. So I read this article this morning: h...
