If you happen to have a million dollars burning a hole in your pocket right now, you may wish to pick up the painting currently in my sidebar as "Bouguereau of the Week". It's The Little Knitter, which will be sold at Sotheby's from October 24-25. It is estimated to sell at between $900,000 and $1,200,000 and fully a fourth of the sale price will be donated to benefit the Art Renewal Center.
The Art Renewal Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the revival of the Western tradition of art after its collapse in the 20th Century. ARC provides scholarships for students committed to this tradition, a Salon competition like that of the old Paris Academy, a certification program for ateliers, and a vast archive of high-quality images of the best of Western art. What started a few years ago as a simple website for Academic fanatics has turned into a serious artistic operation.
So if you happen to have a million dollars lying around and you've already solved the problem of homelessness and AIDS in Africa and such, give a care and contribute to this renaissance movement rekindling the magnificence of the art of Western Civilization.

Hey Jay, what do you call a bishop who has both a noun and verb for a name?
Dick Wills?
Who's that?
Man, I can't believe that someone would say that.
I think he's in my pants.
Hey Jonathon, what did you think about the conversation tonight?
Man that speaker rocked the house!
i had to go all night.. thought it would never end
How many bishop's does it take to change a light bulb?
it depends, are they going to write a book about it?
Hey Jay- so what do you think about the authority of the episcopacy in the umc? does it exists or should it? and this is not related to just simply appointments.
Hey I resemble that remark!
resemble or resent bishop wills?
Someone just said that the Bishop exploded all over something.
I ride the horse!!
frank, you are not welcome here!
Hey, where is L&H John?
Do I still have to change the lightbulb or can I appoint someone to do it for me?
Are you a circuit rider?
Hey sonny!!! What happened to our "OPEN HEARTS OPEN MINDS OPEN DOORS" motto? You are not being very inclusive. I am the FIRST BISHOP dangnabbit!!!
I think I want to appoint Jay to the task of changing a lightbulb
Jay Bob- a little word of advice if you decide to be a circuit rider like me:
If you want to ride
Then ride the white poney!!!
booyah!!
You already appointed me to be a pastor!
I know, but changing a lightbulb is so much more rewarding. Besides this is an appointment system, so...
i suppose we should form a committee to change the lightbulb
I like grilled cheese sandwhiches and preaching in the fields along with long walks on the beach.
wait, that is the trustees.. don't they do something other than complain about the roof?
is this "changing" a light bulb, code for "fighting the power"? RACISTS!!!
i'm feeling much better now
Don't these people at the emerging colloquy have something better to do than to post on poor John's blog?
the question of the day is, if no one changes the light bulb, does anyone notice?
i don't like you all dissing on my buddy jay bob, lay off!!
Shane- I challenge you to dual!!! On guard!!!
cole, i wouldn't mess with a guy from texas! "you'll get the horns"
You are all going to hell!!! In a handbasket- asses (that's short for Frank Assbarians)!!!
Hey you are all going to HELL!
How do you get to hell in a handbasket?
can we get on with the business of solving homelessnes and curing AIDS so we can buy a stinkin painting!!
Ha ha- Shane has horns!!! Mustache Power!!!
Jay (and Silent Bob) Voorhees
hey ron! where you been!
jay, i heard the xxx church folks were at your house the other day ministering to you. how'd that go?
Ride the stache!!! Ride the stach!!!
"to" "with" or "at"?
Be nice to John you guys!
to be or not to be?
Well frankly, my analysis of these comments and questions is that they are an Iraqi plant that is leading to the overthrow of the United States by the communiists. You must know that they are using the M-80 submachine gun in the process of their attack. Of course, the use of this weapon means that John will certainly be totally pissed off by this group of questions. So, in the final analysis, I think that all of you are full of crap.
Hey you should check out my website at http://www.gerrycharlottephelps.com/
daddy, are you ever going to read me my bed time story? daddy please! daddy, abbey took my toy chevy aveo
These comments are all pointless, we should be discussing debt, trade, and aids in Africa
that's what i said a long time ago
Entropy and Chaos are telling me that William James may be the most boring author ever . . . right up there with Jonathon Norman and Gavin Richardson, authors of the Soul Feast books. John, please forgive us because we know not what we do.
It's not "at" Jonathon, it's "as"... I mean "ass" (that's a reference to ME)!!

So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken ? for ye shall speak into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification *. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. ... Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest ?
:-)
Where for art thou O' John. Ye one of rabbits and zombies!
Codepoke speaks for me, as always.
For when has he ever erred?
