The Home of Bilbo Baggins. Musings of a Geeky Computer Professional, Artist and Christian. Thursday, January 05, 2012. Following The Potter in Moldova. This is actually a story from a year ago when Sue and I went to Moldova in the summer of 2010, but I realized I had never posted anything about it:. I have not yet been able to return to Moldova, but I am thankful I have been able to pursue that dream in Hungary. The LORD only knows where I will be able to take my clay next.

Sue and I have been accepted to go with OM Arts to the Czech Republic from September 20 through October 11. The Czech Republic has been dear to our hearts, and we were excited when we heard of this opportunity to go. In spite of a relatively solid economic base there (or, perhaps because.

The glory of Moses' face - ie., the glory of the Law which Moses represents - was not permenant. In fact, the reason that Moses veiled his face was not so much because of the glory itself, but to hide the fact that it was fading away! Paul goes on to state:. As I pondered the idea of the veil, I began to pray, asking Christ t...

I often tell the story of an offhand comment the pastor of our church made to me one Sunday morning as we were leaving after the service, and how that comment has shaped my life since then. In this case, it was a positive. Comment, but it still serves as a powerful illustration the power of words, both to build and destroy, to give life or to suck life out of someone.

The Home of Bilbo Baggins. Musings of a Geeky Computer Professional, Artist and Christian. Wednesday, December 25, 2013. We often hear people speak of great artists as "gifted" individuals. I have even heard people use that term to describe my abilities in art. I've wondered about the deep implications of having a gift, and what impact that has on the way I practice my art. The first thing that strikes me is that a gift is something which is given. In this season of Christmas, we spend a lot of mental an...

What is worthy of note though is the railing which runs along the steps and around the platform. There is a tradition, started in Hungary and now spreading to many other cities, that a couple will take a lock and engrave their names on it. According to the tradition, if they attach the lock to the railing and then throw the keys into the river, then their love will endure forever! These are...
