And breaking out.
Strengthening ourselves in the LORD. I'm tired of being someone I'm not called to be and doing things that I hate. I'm sick of not being who I'm created to be! And how do I figure out who that person is? IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ALMIGHTY. It's not even a hard task. When I do things that are Godly, right, and true; my soul resonates with that quality. I obviously want to continue doing things like that, because they make me feel good. On the other hand, when I do things that are ungodly, wrong, and false; I can feel it. I know it. So, let's take this for real. I want to stop doing that crap. And it's going to be hard, it's hard right this moment! That stuff is going to cling to me, and my flesh is going to cling to it. But I will "cast off the works of darkness", and "put on the armor of light". (Romans 13:12) Why? Because God is worthy. And because my family and friends are worth it. Self sacrifice, alright!
Bring it on. "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." - 1 John 4:4

Exactly!
I really do love that idea of "feeding the body." It is so much MORE important to feed the body spiritually than it is even physically. We need to be nourishing ourselves, and when we are in the world and doing that which is wrong, we are only feeding ourselves empty filler which does not nourish in the slightest. It may feel good for awhile, but the benefits are null.
We need to constantly remember this, and keep it in our minds that we can only truly feel good if we act rightly, and stay with God.
Regarding my post -
That is a really, really cool thing to point out! You and Wes both pointed out things I never would have thought of. I've never really followed the trail to their fingers, but you are entirely correct. There is a dynamism that is missing in the rest of the painting, but beautifully expressed by the power in the hands.
That is really, really neat!
A-men.
