resist...

James 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Unfortunately, this javelina is on the target list.  He is rather mean and keeps stealing food from Ben every night.  I am going to harvest him soon and a neighbor is going to turn him into sausage. 56,61,40,0,B

Let's get lost...

In 1987, I started a year working as 2nd assistant for fashion photographer Bruce Weber.  I was 28 years old.  My job consisted of unloading and loading his cameras as fast as I could (in the days before digital photography).  It was a busy year of fashion shoots for Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, among other clients.  Some in the studio in NYC and some on location in London and Paris.  At the beginning of my "term of service",  Bruce was finishing up a film about jazz musician Chet Baker - taking us from New York to Santa Monica to Oklahoma to the south of France.  It was a great (and sad) experience getting the chance to meet and work with Chet Baker - especially the studio recording sessions for the film soundtrack.  He was a brilliant musician who unfortunately was also a heroin addict for most of his adult life.  During the filming, Chet was rather uncooperative until he got his daily fix - whether it be methadone or heroin...and then barely functional once he got it.  But once he was "in the zone", his musical performances were always perfect.  Chet died less than a year later from a fall from a second story hotel window in Amsterdam.  Heroin and cocaine were found in his room (and an autopsy revealed both drugs in his body).  He was 58 years old.     

If any of you lack wisdom...

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Continuing the fishing theme: my friend Max posted this video in 2013.  It deserves more views - so also check it out directly from YouTube and make sure to comment, like, and share it.  We met each other by chance through a mutual friend after we were both featured in Lloyd Kahn's book Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter, published in 2011.

Minions of Satan

 

Tools of Satan claiming to be battling evil...

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, 

he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Death by Frost...

 

My 22 month old mother plants survived 22 degree lows last winter 

but 18 degree lows killed them along with 3 rooted cuttings last week.

I managed to save one rooted cutting by keeping it inside 

my hut on those cold nights.

Sad day for democracy

 

Trump gave a speech this morning to his supporters who are in DC 

to protest the election results.

After reiterating his baseless claims of voter fraud, he told his minions:

"We will never give up...we will never concede."

It is no surprise that a few hours later his gang of thugs 

stormed the Capital and disrupted the proceedings 

causing lawmakers to be evacuated.

Here is Joe Biden's live response to the assault.

and here is trump's incredibly lame taped response to the assault.

happy moo year

as it is written...

Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 

Pandemic Saturday

The death toll is still rising and nothing from trump on the casualties 

as he and his minions still fight over his election loss 

while the millionaires in congress are fighting over 

how much "socialism" to dole out.

 

slow melt...

 

Day two after the storm.  This is the first time since I moved here 

13 years ago that the snow hasn't all melted right away.
