Oh, it’s Jesus?
Bald boldness! Your attire this Sunday bemused me. There is some question on my part on what quest it is that you’re on . . . it can surely be a private one and I’m certainly not demanding an answer from you. In the context of a christian church, you are borrowing from some sincere imagery as portrayed by many of the finest contemporary illustrators of the day. Pastor Cheryl teaches us about a real grassroots sort of Christianity, “Go and do, she says, be”. So that you are appearing to be gives me notice; do share with me how it came to be, was it courageous for you?

Seamus met with Ainsley for a late lunch, where an afternoon’s search at Mr. Burke’s store had proven futile– for the books he had selected did not equate the money he was then willing to part with. A book did find its way to Ainsley, which so neatly depicted a collection of witticisms accompanied by drawings. Ainsley has done the favor of scanning the book in its entirety. The quality of these scans are appropriate for you, dear reader– but they do injustice to the exquisite quality of the drawings in the book itself. The book is clearly a lode which may quite possibly spur a collaboration of sorts down the road. Another project is now in the works, the documentation of Mr. Pierce’s family home– permission has been granted, now remains scheduling the opportunity. We must first consider the quality of light and the implications on the time of the day to execute the work while limiting exposure to the conditions.

Seeds for Community
Seamus met this morning with Barker Andrews in regards to a confabulous production being put up at Old Man Peabody’s hotel in Orlando. Rapid advancements in medical technology, having skipped from the war of his father– fought near Corinth, to current production of complete joints to piece back those poor fools necessitated a medical conference; designs for Barker’s extravaganza included the recovery of vintage cinematography from the still-smoldering wreckage of The 20th Century. Coincidentally, the company hosting the conference salvaged much of the smelt for their joints from the wreckage of The Century.
After a brief morning visit to the atelier, Seamus returned home– a light dusting of snow had covered the decking leaving a clearly demarcated totter of footsteps leading in. Snow Day, he had already decided; tea would feature prominently. The post arrived punctually for the first delivery of the day, in with the bundle were several seed catalogues. It reminded Seamus of a project given as part of a celebration to a dear lady in Virginia. From the files, Seamus came across this photograph of the work shortly before it was completed.

The Good Ship Congo pulls to dock in Cooper Young
In 2008, First Congregational Church began several ongoing renovation projects that continue into 2010; Three sprawling buildings connected with a breezeway had no way of moving people from the ground level onto the main floor of the far North Building where several community services are located, notably the MidSouth Peace & Justice Center & The Midtown Conference Center. A large entry ramp and deck was designed to enable access into the building. Built under the direction of Mark Allen with hundreds of volunteer hours from members of the church & community, this ramp has become the venue of several fun-filled community activities. For Halloween one year, the ramp became a pirate ship, another time- during the annual Cooper Young Festival, the ramp was the backdrop for a Moroccan Bazaar. This project was designed as a gift to First Congregational Church. The latest conversation surrounding the ramp has been to make it the staging point for educational demonstration about sustainability– and rumor has it that an individual at First Congregational Church is petitioning to corral goats underneath to eat the food compost produced by the building tenants! Bahhhh matey!
