“Good Luck Jumping Over the Moon”

“Good Luck Jumping Over the Moon”

I like to think the cow’s loving wife was kind enough to wish him luck before he jumped over the moon. With that in mind, here’s a few other things that will (hopefully) make you smile . . .

A husband is someone who, after taking the trash out, gives the impression he just cleaned the whole house. If two people love each other, nothing is impossible . . . except deciding where to eat. I love you more than yesterday . . . yesterday you got on my nerves. Never laugh at your wife’s choices . . . you are one of them. Behind every angry woman stands a man . . . who has absolutely no idea what he did wrong. Marriage is betting half your stuff that you’ll love them forever. Most women are afraid of clowns but still end up marrying one. Every woman’s dream is that her husband will take her in his arms, throw her on the bed . . . and clean the whole house. If you think your wife’s place in in the kitchen, remember that’s where the knives are kept. If at first you don’t succeed, try doing it the way your wife told you. If a husband says he will fix it, he will. You don’t have to remind him every six months. A wife’s secrets are safe with her husband . . . cause there’s a good chance he wasn’t listening. If you’re wrong and you shut up, you’re wise. If you’re right and you shut up, you’re married. Listening to your wife is like reading the Terms and Conditions on a website . . . you understand nothing but still you say, “I agree.” When you see a married couple walking down the street, the one that’s a few steps ahead is the one that’s mad. If you think women are the weaker sex, try yanking the cover to your side on a cold night. Marriage is a relationship where one person is always right and the other person is the husband. In my house, I’m the boss. My wife is just the decision-maker. Always remember. She’s right, you’re wrong and you’re sorry. Marry someone who has a favorite cereal different from you so they won’t always be eating yours. Marriages are made in heaven. So is thunder and lightning. Chess says everything about marriage . . . the king can only take one step at a time, the queen can do anything she wants. I came from a big family. I never got to sleep alone until I was married. Men who don’t understand women fall into two categories . . . bachelors and husbands.

Scripture: Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” (Genesis 2:18)

Mentor Tip: One of the best things you can do for your mentees’ marriages is to remind them that they can’t change how their wives think or believe and they certainly can’t change how they feel. But they can be grateful . . . and expressing gratitude to their wives does more to create an environment of acceptance than anything else.

How to paint like a Pre-Raphaelite

Creative Bloq How to paint like a Pre-Raphaelite When ImagineFX magazine commissioned me to create a new piece inspired by Pre-Raphaelite art, it was John William Waterhouse's famous painting The Lady of Shalott that came immediately to mind. I like this painting and I'm a fan of Waterhouse's style. I think this is the perfect piece for a modern reinterpretation of the original subject, but my intention is to avoid a slavish reproduction of the painting; I want to imagine a new girl, with a new face, in a new pose. Because it was also the magazine cover image, I had to define and modify aspects of the illustration to take into account the various text and visual elements of the cover. I'll highlight these changes throughout the workshop. First, a few words about my digital painting technique. The final painting effect is very traditional. I'll be using a classic canvas texture, and the Charcoal, Conte and Oil brushes. My colour palette is reminiscent...

Your Third Word

Radical Mentoring Your Third Word My latest Radical Mentoring group is tackling the topic of purpose. Specifically, life purpose statements. Identity asks, “Who am I?” Mission asks, “What do I want?” Purpose asks, “Why am I here?” The stock answer for Jesus-followers is “I’m here to glorify God” which is 100% true, but doesn’t speak to my unique purpose. Anne Lamott writes about how God made us because He thought we’d like it. Which makes sense if we believe that God knew us before we were ‘knit in our mother’s womb.’ But again, what do I do with that as a life purpose? I’m throwing out an idea that I think helps each person define their unique purpose . . . I call it your ‘third word.’ My theory is that all Jesus-followers are called to love and serve. Those two are givens. The life purpose statement of every Jesus-follower begins “I, (your name here), exist to glorify God by loving and serving others.” And then you add your word after that. Mine is “challenge,” making my li...
