Time Diver

Only an artistic genius could produce, in a single lifetime, some of the greatest-ever works in the classic categories of painting, architecture, and sculpture. The Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo was just such a genius.  Think of his painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel , the extraordinary dome of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome, and his monumental statue of David. After first-time visitors in the Galleria dell’ Accademia museum in Florence devour David from every angle, they gradually notice there are other Michelangelo statues in the corridors – specifically The Prisoners, four larger-than-life sculptures that appear to be unfinished, even imprisoned by marble.  Scholars have named the figure above/below Atlas.  He is reminiscent of the primordial Titan of Greek mythology whose job was to shoulder the entire world. Some have expressed regret that Michelangelo never got around to finishing these masterworks.

Nice Video from Youtube about Human Resource Management. Enjoy....

A few years ago I arranged to meet a good friend of mine, a pastor on the north side of Indianapolis, for lunch. We decided to try a restaurant well known for its savory Italian dishes.  We walked through the front door at high noon.  Interestingly, there was no one to greet us. Far across the dining room we could see a few tables of customers being tended by a single server. Looking toward the kitchen, we could see three cooks. They were standing motionless, looking at us plaintively.  OK, I thought they were looking at us plaintively. After five minutes the manager appeared.  He was deeply sorry, but he couldn’t seat us. 

He could hear the crowds screaming "crucify" "crucify"... He could hear the hatred in their voices, These were his chosen people. He loved them, And they were going to crucify him. He was beaten, bleeding and weakened... his heart was broken, But still He walked. He could see the crowd as he came from the palace. He knew each of the faces so well. He had created them.

Saat ini sudah muncul kebijakan baru dari instagram. Kebijakan ini perihal keamanan dari gambar dan video yang sudah kita upload ke situs/aplikasi instagram tidak akan bisa lagi di download oleh aplikasi pihak ketiga. Artinya saya sudah tidak bisa melakukan download gambar dan video di instagram menggunakan aplikasi pihak ketiga, dalam hal ini aplikasi yang saya gunakan adalah Instasave Pro. Sayang sekali, padahal wallpaper yang biasa saya download dari instagram bagus-bagus. Di satu sisi ini akan lebih baik supaya baik gambar atau video yang sudah di upload tidak bisa di salah gunakan oleh pihak lain.

A man found the cocoon of a butterfly.  One day a small opening appeared.  He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole.  Then it seemed to stop making any progress.  It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly.  He took as pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.  The butterfly then emerged easily.  But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.  Neither happened!  In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.  It never was able to fly.

Oh, God, make me a better parent. Help me to understand my children, to listen patiently to what they have to say and to answer all their questions kindly. Keep me from interrupting them, talking back to them and contradicting them. Make me as courteous to them as I would have them be to me. Give me the courage to confess my sins against my children and to ask of them forgiveness, when I know that I have done them wrong. May I not vainly hurt the feelings of my children. Forbid that I should laugh at their mistakes or resort to shame and ridicule as punishment. Let me not tempt a child to lie and steal. So guide me hour by hour that I may demonstrate by all I say and do that honestly produces happiness.
