Before we get to some quotes from my commonplace book, I thought I’d do another roundup of neglected photos. These are photos that I smallified, thinking I’d use them on the blog and then nothing happened. There was no call, for example, for a statue of a monk that I saw at the Como Park Observatory. Commentary, such as it is, will follow the photos.
Tonsures are awkward.
My artsy photo of our cat Luna. I still like it.
What’s the difference between a turtle and a tortoise? I think this is a tortoise, but couldn’t tell you why.
Notes from My Commonplace Book:
Join them in their world when they’re little,
So you’ll be welcome in their world when they are big.
L.R. Knost
Those that with a holy reverence fear God need not with any amazement to be afraid of the power of hell or earth. If God be for us, who can be against us to do us any harm? It is our duty, it is our privilege, to be thus fearless; it is an evidence of a clear conscience, of an honest heart, and of a lively faith in God and his providence and promise.
Matthew Henry, commentary on Psalm 46
The best mirror is an old friend.
George Herbert
Measure thy life by loss instead of gain;
Not by wine drunk, but the wine poured forth.
For love’s strength standeth in love’s sacrifice;
And whoso suffers most hath most to give.
Ugo Bassi, Sermon in the Hospital
Measure my blog by loss…in the morning.
