To my future bride,
Sweetheart, every day is an opportunity. It’s a marvelous, glorious opportunity to worship the God I love, we love, by counting you more significant than me. It’s an opportunity to bring Him glory and honor as we seek to walk hand in hand through life’s journey as He daily chisels us to conformity of Christlikeness. For that, I’m thankful. So as a result of all of my gratitude for God’s faithfulness, here are some things you need to know…
One, I can’t wait to behold you every day. I know, that might sound crazy, but hear me out. Makoto Fujimura, a renowned artist, writes, “It usually takes at least 10 minutes of sitting, quieting our hearts, and beholding the [art] work before our eyes start to see, and our brain stops to try to categorize. My friend and fellow artist

If you stand over it, you are 'over-standing ' (bringing in your preconceptions and presuppositions) and not 'under-standing '." If you have been standing (or "under-standing") in front of my work, your eyes will see more than when you came into this house. Now, simply spend a little more time looking at the work, and observe what your eyes are seeing.” Sweetheart, I want to see you. You are God’s most precious, exquisite, and breath-taking masterpiece. I want to understand the depths of every brush stroke, every angle, every shape and color, every finite detail there is to know. I want to know what makes you, you. I want to know your heart, your desires, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your passions, your experiences. I want to look upon
First of all, I just want to say that I am so grateful to be a disciple; I am grateful that my wife and I are a part of Gods great kingdom now. It’s been two years since my wife and I got baptized, and since then, God has done so many great things in our lives.
For those of you that don’t know, I am Trey Rongisch and I am currently a student at Midland University. It is quite ironic how Nick and I first met, it was during my first college class. I would have never expected him to ask me to be his Best Man at his wedding in the short span of four months, but when he asked me, I just couldn’t turn down the offer. But I’m going to be honest, I’ve been feeling quite nervous about giving this speech for some time. But I’m pleased to say last night I slept like a baby – I woke up every two hours, crying my eyes out. With this in mind, I am ready to get this speech going and I must share how honored I am to be here today and speak on behalf of Nick and his beautiful wife, Katie.
I found that when admiring a piece of art work, I take that time to imagine myself going back in to the past and seeing what the artist intentions were when forming their own idea and expressing it onto a canvas. We obviously cannot go back in time, but I feel as if my goal is to put together their life in just this one piece of artwork. There is always this feeling I get when I’m captured by painting or drawing, I want to stretch my hand out and get sucked right into the painting and see the world through that artist eyes.
Through what we have studied of the artist, we know that he sees various things in his
There are many different types of artworks that express the artist feelings but the ones that capture my eyes the most are the works that are muted and more hidden then in your face. The artworks that scream out the artist feeling do not need as much studying in my mind then the ones that invite you to a quite space to breathe and look. Gaela Erwin works are that, her works are about the hidden feelings that people hide from others.
When I recognize the state of gratitude in which my heart is enveloped, I immediately embrace the Grace of God! I would never know true gratitude if it were not for God’s grace.
Unlike science, art is subjective. The artist leaves behind a part of himself in his work. Therefore, each piece has its own distinct perspective. Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits show her view on her life, on how she has faced so many struggles, yet managed to be a strong person. When we see or hear or read an artistic creation, it produces a mood such as calm or loud, fear or safety. For example, the Eiffel Tower gives Paris a majestic awe; everyone who passes by feels the strength of the 113-year-old grand structure. Art also has a texture. Photographs reveal much through their textures; grainy surfaces often make the picture more realistic while smooth ones seem softer. When we hear a piece of music or see a film, a rhythm carries us from one part to another. Not just true for these two genres, rhythm is present in any artistic work. These few properties are characteristic of everything we encounter in the world of art, the world of human expression. Most have other special features also. Most of the time, though, we do not think about these characteristics because we do not have enough time to pay attention to anything for more than a few seconds.
paintings when they want you to see what they are trying to express. Like if
Therefore, while some might cleave to this modern view of relationships, the truth is that it will not reap good fruit because it goes against the innate roles of humans.
Each drawing. Each painting. Each sculpture. It can give you a glimpse of what is going on in the artist’s head. Take the painting “El Autobus” by Frida Kahlo as an example. It has been said that the painting is in reference of the accident Frida Kahlo had where she got impaled by a metal handrail. The painting is of a bench with people sitting on it just before boarding the bus. This kind of artwork, where the artist puts a little bit of him/her self in it is something I strive for. I want to make art that reflects me, or that means something to me. I don’t want to make something just because, I want it to be where the viewer could possibly see the hard work, the passion, the emotion behind it. Things that most times get
It was a beautiful Saturday morning on January 6. The winter air was crisp and the view was amazing. The soft salty scent from the ocean filled the air. Off the balcony on the second story of the Long Beach Yacht Club I could see the light swells of the Pacific Ocean. The small crashing of waves added to the peaceful instrumental background sounds as the ceremony was about to begin. January 6, my wedding date, was a day that changed the rest of my life.
In times, we often see things, but we don't really capture what is beyond it. In some cases, there are people who are artistic and are prone to see what other's cannot visualize. Every individual has a talent which can be expressed and processed differently. Something you see can mean entirely divergent things to someone else;for example, some may see thing's that may seem simple, but in the eyes of an artist, it can be perceived with a whole new definition, dimension, and a potentially new discovery. As a photographer, my view of the world, can be skewed towards looking at everyday objects as potential art, but it wasn't always like that.
It is often helpful to approach these disciplines or practices in terms of your entire body experience of sight, touch, sound, and even taste. If you are a visual person, you may wish to try meditating or even praying with art or specifically, religious icons. Simply behold the artwork and allow it to "speak" to you. What details do you notice? What does the artwork signify? What does this artwork say to you regarding your Higher Power?
A Hindu wedding process can take several days depending on the economic and social standing of the bride and the groom’s families. The actual ceremony can be short like an hour to three hours. The ceremony itself is more for the couple and their parents having little guest involvement. Some guests skip the ceremony all together and come later for the celebration time of the
Winter weddings! The term in itself speaks oodles about the fun and frolic associated with it minus the sweat of the summer months and even the simplicity of the spring seasons. From the wedding dates which comes to the fore from the month of December to the month of February, the season spells majic with all whites everywhere; the white snow, the white wedding ensemble coupled with the merriment of the holidays that it brings with it, courtesy the birth of Jesus Christ along with the bells of the New Year ringing all across the world.
