Dallas Willard

"The killing fields of Cambodia come from the philosophical discussions in Paris"

We should build structure from right thinking, and not let the structure obstruct the human need to be free and have peace.

Today I'm feeling...orange

Photobucket

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat. Nevertheless, orange is not as aggressive as red. Orange increases oxygen supply to the brain, produces an invigorating effect, and stimulates mental activity. It is highly accepted among young people. As a citrus color, orange is associated with healthy food and stimulates appetite. Orange is the color of fall and harvest. In heraldry, orange is symbolic of strength and endurance.

Orange has very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the most important elements of your design. Orange is very effective for promoting food products and toys.

Dark orange can mean deceit and distrust.

Speak Truth Loud

God, I want to compel people towards an idea that is true, foundational, and liberating.
To draw them into the experience of something beautiful.
If I could do one thing, I would generate a reason as well as a want of moving closer to you.
With a story that touches the deepest part of the human condition.
And God, I know this sounds juvenile, but I want it loud.
