1 corinthians 7:23

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

Should one be in control of their beast...

Or be a new creature?

*Or both?

Isn’t the new creature the one that controls its beast?

Spoiler: Digital Art Thoughts...

It's funny how our views on digital art change over time. I remember that after I made this drawing in 2009, I thought it was one of my best drawings ever. Of course I don't think that anymore.

It's funny how my previous shading and lighting style looked so good to me when I was using it, but now that I use a better one it looks so flat. Old vs. new:

And it's also funny that I've been using the same digital art program for nine years yet I'm still learning how to use features I didn't even know about!

Once I finish drawing all the Charaboms, I might go back and edit the older ones to fix any mistakes and so their art styles match the newer ones.

I looked up the Hebrew word for "cocoon" and this came up:

The word golem occurs once in the Bible in Psalm 139:16,[3] which uses the word גלמי (golmi; my golem),[4] that means "my light form", "raw" material,[5] connoting the unfinished human being before God's eyes.[4] The Mishnah uses the term for an uncultivated person: "Seven characteristics are in an uncultivated person, and seven in a learned one", (שבעה דברים בגולם) (Pirkei Avot 5:7 in the Hebrew text; English translations vary).

In Modern Hebrew, golem is used to mean "dumb" or "helpless". Similarly, it is often used today as a metaphor for a mindless lunk or entity who serves a man under controlled conditions, but is hostile to him under others conditions.[2] "Golem" passed into Yiddish as goylem to mean someone who is lethargic or beneath a stupor.[6]

Psalm 139:15-16
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Isaiah 31:4
Because thus said LORD JEHOVAH to me: “As a lion and the cub of a lion roars over whatever it has broken, and a multitude of Shepherds are shouting at it, and it is not afraid of their voice, and is not shaken by their multitude; in this way LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts shall descend to exert strength on the Mountain of Zion and upon its hill

Glad to hear it. Are you planning to meet again?

1 John 2:27
And if The Anointing will remain with you which you have received from him, you do not need anyone to teach you, but as The Anointing who is from God is teaching you about everything, and is true, and there is no falsehood in him, even as he has taught you, abide in him.

Isaiah 66:8
Who has heard such as this and who sees things such as these? The Earth is in labor in one day and a people is born in one moment, because she was in labor and Zion bore her children


Rome may not be built in a day, but the New Jerusalem will descend in a moment!


*Revelation 21:2
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Looking forward to seeing them Multis. Will you post them on the forums for us to see?

I'm not ambivalent towards bacon. I love the stuff.

The way it sizzles in the pan.
The way it smells.

The way it looks when finished cooking, as it changes color almost like a notification that time has finally come to enjoy the fruit of your labor. It beckons you....."eat me" it says. And I partake gladly.

The way it explodes with favor with every bite. Savor the moment.

1 corinthians 15:52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

The difference between belonging and fitting in. I can usually fit in adequately, however draining that might be at times, but finding circumstances where I truly feel like I belong is more of a challenge.

When You Don't Fit in At Church | Paul Sigafus

Fitting In vs. Belonging

On a related note, when it comes to relationships I'm a chooser. Not a beggar. My kind of woman is the same in this regard. If we don't belong together, but rather just "fit in" with each other's lives, I'm not interested. Eventually, you're going to show your true selves, and that should be a positive rather than something to be feared.
