What If Truth Is Rejected Even When It Is Lived Well
It’s easy to assume that if something is true, and if it is communicated clearly, reasonably, and with goodwill, it will eventually be accepted. This assumption sits quietly beneath a lot of effort, especially in faith. We speak carefully. We try to be fair. We explain ourselves patiently. Somewhere beneath all of that is the hope that clarity and sincerity will be enough. But what if that hope misunderstands how truth actually moves through the world.

Popularity Versus Art and The Shrouds We Cover Them With
The best artists are those who look at things as they are, not as they want them to be. However, sometimes they need to deal with shrouds that obscure judgment. The first type of shroud surrounds popular media, as popularity creates a shroud for the item that is popular, a shroud that both attracts fanaticism (so that anyone criticizing is wrong) and the wrong kind of criticism (if it's popular, well, art can not be popular, and there are those that wish to prove their artistic integrity by bringing down anything popular). The second type of shroud surrounds art, sometimes making something seem more artistic than it really is.

Creation
The actual picture is from the 'The Biggest Story Coloring Book' from Crossway. This is the 'Creation' story. Starting on the left the "Big Bang' like some say. I used purple and black crayon for the area area the sun, planets, and the comets. Then, came the fruits of the land and the fishes of the sea and beasts of the land. Using black for the beasts' fur and shades of blue for sky and a green for the grasses, as well as the water for the fishes. This is the first and the next In the Garden. Please comment.
