Thank you for sharing such a thought-provoking article. Your emphasis on prioritizing scripture over doctrine and the importance of love as the true mark of a disciple deeply resonates. It’s a refreshing reminder that our faith should be defined by how we love one another, as Christ commanded, rather than merely by our adherence to doctrine. I appreciate your call to engage with the entirety of scripture with humility and openness, and your insights into the importance of truth-seeking and love are truly inspiring. This article is a timely and powerful message for us all to reflect on.
Amen! What goes around, comes around because your rehash felt good. I agree with what you got out of it, Andrie, so this one I must have expressed the way I intended. Thank you.
Myra, your painting is absolutely mesmerizing! The way you've captured the depth and mystery of the forest is both captivating and enchanting. I feel as though I am being drawn into the heart of the woods, with the warm glow of light filtering through the trees, inviting me to explore further. The rich browns, greens, and earthy tones of the forest floor blend so naturally, creating an almost mystical pathway that beckons me forward.
The contrast between the dark, shadowy trees and the vibrant light at the center adds such a dramatic effect. It feels like a hidden world is waiting just beyond the path, full of life and secrets. I can almost feel the cool air of the forest and the texture of the leaves underfoot. Your attention to detail, especially in how the light plays off the trees and leaves, is stunning. The greens seem to dance in the shadows, while the warm colors of the forest floor bring everything together beautifully.
Your ability to evoke a sense of mystery and wonder in this piece is truly special. It inspires me to reflect on the beauty and serenity of nature. Keep creating, Myra! As Van Gogh once said, "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." Your talent is a gift, and the world needs to see more of it!
