 © The Slippery Pig ~ Undine DeFilippo 2015 Have you ever met a slippery pig ? I know ... I've met one too ! I even met a girl who said she lived with one. "P" "U" ! Did you ever pet a slippery pig ? It's not the thing to do ! It'll slide and turn and run roughshod, and trample all over you ! It'll tear you apart and break your heart; that slippery pig and his goo . There's nothing good , despite the gleam , of a slippery pig and you !

 ©Dripping Icicle Upside Down ~ Undine DeFilippo 2015 Last week I posted a
pic of a dripping icicle. I noticed a definite image in the drip, enlarged it and turned it upside down. The result is a fish eye image of my side yard. There's something magical about capturing such a clear image in a simple water drip. It makes me wonder about the way others might see; the way that nature naturally reflects us and how this is all being recorded in a mere drip of water. It is now officially the Year of the WOOD GOAT. That hasn't happened for SIXTY years ! WOOD GOAT years and people are known to be amicable, gentle and compassionate, as well as calm, creative and determined to succeed. Today is also ASH WEDNESDAY which marks the First Day of LENT which also means there are FORTY days until the anniversary of EASTER the day that The Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead. It is a day of fasting, if you can, FORTY days of fasting, if you dare; and a time of atonement and acknowledgement of our personal shortcomings; a time of personal cleansing.  ©In Honour of the Lost Lives of Charlie Hebdo~ Undine DeFilippo 2015 In support of ALL adversely affected and in HONOUR of the DOZEN LIVES that were foolishly massacred in Paris yesterday, I display my cartoon in solidarity with the decision to keep our pencils sharpened, ever ready to exercise our FREEDOM of expression through the creativity of our choice, which remains our GOD GIVEN RIGHT and DUTY and urge ALL to have the HEART to do the same.  © Charlie Hebdo Tragedy ~ Undine DeFilippo 2015

"I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD; AND HE INCLINED UNTO ME AND HEARD MY CRY. HE BROUGHT ME UP ALSO OUT OF A HORRIBLE PIT, OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY AND SET MY FEET UPON A ROCK AND ESTABLISHED MY GOINGS. AND HE HAS PUT A NEW SONG IN MY MOUTH, EVEN PRAISE UNTO OUR GOD: MANY SHALL SEE IT, AND FEAR, AND SHALL TRUST IN THE LORD; BLESSED IS THAT MAN THAT MAKES THE LORD HIS TRUST, AND RESPECTS NOT THE PROUD, NOR SUCH AS TURN ASIDE TO LIES."

Are you believing the LIE that you are NOT as important as you really are ...That your life is NOT as important as it REALLY IS ? Do you believe the LIE that you are ONLY a by~product of a moment's passion or lust ? If you believe the dark, ugly, deceptive, insane, hateful and evil things of this world exist ... then also BELIEVE and KNOW that LIGHT ~ BEAUTY ~ HONESTY ~ GOODNESS and LOVE ALSO EXIST and ARE FAR MORE POWERFUL !!! Choose your affiliation wisely or become victim to the LIES. BELIEVE INSTEAD THE TRUTH : YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD ... TO THOSE YOU LOVE ... TO THOSE YOU KNOW ... TO THOSE YOU WILL LOVE IN THE FUTURE ... TO THOSE YOU MIGHT NEVER KNOW ... YOU HAVE A PURPOSE THAT NO ~ ONE CAN FULFILL THE WAY THAT YOU CAN FULFILL IT !!!

I was glad to discover this LARGE LANTERN, with 3 LED candles, and a latched door, at a HOME GOODS STORE ... AND... happily went to work redesigning it to suit the vision it invoked.  © Painting the Lantern ~ Undine DeFilippo 2014 First, I spray painted the DULL ~ DULL ~ DULL charcoal grey metal top with GLOSS BLACK. Then I got some thin Foam Board, Magic Markers, Rulers, White Paint, Exacto Blades, Elmer's Glue, Black Contact Paper, Odds n Ends of Pre Cut Wood Ornaments... and had me some FUN transforming the lantern into an Edwardian House that accepted ANY size GIFT CARD in the slot and can be reverted to the lantern whenever so desired ! The LED's can be turned on from the original switch located on the underside to create a glow ! I LOVE TO READ YOUR COMMENTS !

The SEVENTH Spiritual Gift is called HOLY FEAR. It fills us with a sovereign respect for GOD and makes us dread nothing so much as to offend Him. It is a fear that arises NOT from the thought of hell, but from sentiments of reverence and filial submission to our Heavenly Father. It is this type of fear that is the beginning of WISDOM, detaching us from worldly pleasures that could in any way separate us from GOD. PRAYER: COME, O BLESSED SPIRIT OF HOLY FEAR; PENETRATE MY INMOST HEART THAT I MAY SET YOU, MY LORD AND GOD, BEFORE MY FACE FOREVER. HELP ME TO SHUN ALL THINGS THAT CAN OFFEND YOU AND MAKE ME WORTHY TO APPEAR BEFORE THE PURE EYES OF YOUR DIVINE MAJESTY IN HEAVEN, WHERE YOU LIVE AND REIGN IN THE UNITY OF THE EVER BLESSED TRINITY, GOD WORLD WITHOUT END. AMEN.
