Sunday Update
Sunday was a good day. I was able to help my brother publish his website. I was able to make some long overdue fixes to this blog and to my sister’s blog. I was able to talk to an old friend. Christine and I went to church and Life Group. While at Life Group, we talked about how to apply the love of 1st Corinthians 13 to life in a community (like a job, or a family, or a Life Group, or …).
Some not-so-good things: the temperature was only in the mid-teens all day. Due to a combination of my nap, our lunch, and shoveling the driveway, we were 20 minutes late to church and only barely arrived in time for the message. I didn’t get to file recent paperwork (which is really stacking up) or hang pictures around the house.
Looking ahead to next weekend: Saturday morning breakfast with another good friend, followed by a visit to the Wisconsin Memorial Union Art Gallery for an exhibit on Soviet Propoganda Posters. From the website:
This exhibition presents a glimpse of propaganda art created in the Soviet Union to express and disseminate Communist ideology. The images, which date from 1917-1977, include work by leading artists, such as Dmitrii Moor, Irakhlii Toizde, and Viktor Ivanov, who used visually stimulating techniques in order to convey the goals of the Soviet regime to the masses. The posters in the exhibition are reproductions printed in 1977 to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the October Revolution. They present a visual synopsis of the central events of Soviet history, from revolution, war, and industrialization to the Cold War, détente and the idealistic depiction of a united and egalitarian society.
Who wouldn’t be interested in that?
