New personal policy: blocking anyone posting AI "icons". I know Google images isn't as reliable, but Pinterest still seems pretty reliable. It's not that hard to find digital reproductions of handmade images.
My wife's aunt is literally caught up in the middle of the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, as are many other Cambodians. Please pray!
Which means Baptists using such evidence as an argument should *at least* (1) give baptism to infants/non-professing children who are sick, and (2) expect a life of complete purity (especially sexual purity) post-baptism (w/ threat of excommunication for breaking vows).
The WHOLE REASON people delayed baptism in the early centuries is BECAUSE they thought infant baptisms were effective and valid. You guys need to learn how to read
This is why I actually really like Gunn putting a lot of close friends, family, & lesser known actors in his films. He seems to care about his stories & the art of filmmaking more than anything else, even when there are misses/failures in his work. It's more personal.
George Lucas talks about what he thinks art means: “I think it’s more about a connection with the work, not how much it costs or what celebrity did it, it’s more a personal thing… if you have an emotional connection to something, that’s art” #SDCC
I'm still looking for 6 more ideas. Even if you don't plan to buy one, I like hearing which saints you would like to see me paint.
I have 10, 2.5x3.5 icon panels arriving tomorrow. Leave a comment w/ the 1 saint you would like to see me paint. Each finished icon of this size will be $250. I'm raising funds to take my children to Thailand & visit their grandfather. Trying to go in January.

The 7-11s in Thailand are popular for a reason. I've even seen them leave the doors open for the passerby to be drawn in by the frigid A/C. This is the same place where the asphalt melts in the hot season.
LOL the French claim air conditioning results in "thermal shock"
I had no idea Matthew Barrett had become Anglican when I posted this. Everytime he has had a good take on traditional Christianity, my response has been, "Why the hell are you Baptist?"
People who already knew this: Orthodox Christians Anglican Christians Roman Catholic Christians Now I'm obviously biased to the Orthodox Church--but why try to convince folks to practice as the ancient church while simultaneously criticizing the ancient church? Why not convert?
