Jasper Johns First Studio Artist in 34 Years to Receive Presidential Medal of Freedom - “If a fundamental aim of contemporary visual art is to get out ahead of conventional wisdom and mass opinion and keep the public off-balance, here’s some evidence that its most illustrious practitioners have been doing their job: when President Obama presents Jasper Johns with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday at the White House, it will be the first time in 34 years that a painter or sculptor has won the nation’s highest civilian honor.” (Above is a Detail of Flag, 1954-55. Museum of Modern Art, New York City.)
Morning Prayer of St. Philaret of Moscow
O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace. Help me in all things to rely upon Your holy will. In every hour of the day reveal Your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to me throughout…
Looking for something to happen in OCA, ROCOR & MP
Strange rumors on FB and other area of the globe are transfixed on the possible “resignation” of Metropolitan Jonah. This author finds it hard to believe that there is a resignation in progress. This author thinks that a more likely scenario is a new position or a re-positioning of Russia’s Orthodox mission to the North American continent. What if instead of a resignation, the whole of the OCA, ROCOR and the Moscow Patriarchate are rethinking everything that has transpired on the North American continent since 1970. There may be unification of the Russian mission between all three parties happening. What do you Orthodox suppose?
Did ya ever have one of those days —-
My usual days start when I get out of bed, about 10 am. I am usually happy until about two and a half hours into the day. My mood gets worse as the hours of the day go on. I am usually greeted by one parent or the other, (very elderly parents) by a “Chapter of confessions,” a list of things I have not done and so I am a worthless piece of s%&t for not having done it. Today was no exception. I was tired last night and awoke on several occasions having to use an inhaler for asthma. My mother had peed on the floor in front of the refrigerator last night. I put some paper towels down to dry it up, but was tired and fell asleep on the couch with the dog. The whole kitchen floor is dirty and needs washed anyway - WTF
