Additional thought: Currently I'm learning animation which is a series of still images that appear to move when shown in rapid succession. Dance is art of physical movement. This seems to be a good direction for me to head in if I were to contribute something. : )

For those who would like to contribute the project dialogue is pretty much wide open. I may set a guided parameter as a jumping off point to get everyone thinking along the same track, but really you are free to give as much input as you would like!

My goal is that as ideas start to be thrown out there, we as a group would come up with a cohesive idea that has several different interpretations (depending on how many people are involved, which it sounds like I have maybe 4 at this point... But I need to double check on those for sure, including you... hehe...). I am only asking for one final product from each person, but I am also asking that you document preliminary sketches, draft work, the overall process as you go (which is going to be used for my final presentation).

I am going to make a FB page for the project so you can upload content directly to the page. This way everyone can see what is happening with everyone else as we spend the next two weeks exploring. Which will hopefully make the process a lot easier.

Is that clear enough??? Haha! I am still trying to get my end of things together.

I think having a versatile collection of work at the end, mostly referring to mediums used, would be great! But I also know that animation is time consuming, so if you don't want to contribute that much time and effort I understand. But you can also create something that is a more traditional medium as well. I am just hoping that it all won't be drawing, or all photography. You know? But that is totally up to you, as well as how much time you want to put in.

P.S. are we still on week 1? 'Cause this could count as "begin dialoging", couldn't it?

Hey Matt. Sorry it's taken me two days to get back to you. Do you still need help with your project? If so, what specifically would you be looking for in regard to artistic response/conversation? I want to help, but I'm a little scared to commit to the thing because I know how much of a slacker/procrastinator I am. Also, my schedule just got a little tighter as of two weeks ago--I'm taking another animation class. But yeah, if there's anything that I can do to help you with your project--even if it's just creating one piece of work to add to the dialogue of your project, I could probably do that.

let me know! and hope things go well for you.

I've been pretty good, thanks. Prayer is good. Could use the prayer. Allowed myself to be lured into old habits again. He is quick to forgive. He always loves us, but choosing to be obedient to God is when he draws near to us and calls us friend.

Psalm 25:14 "The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them."

John 14:23 "Jesus replied, 'Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.' "

Got these passages from my Saturday Bible study. It was a good study.

Any prayer requests for you?

Well, I'm right there with you. I'm back to old ways again... and I have been struggling with obedience for some time now. The more I fight the harder I fall... and I'm getting pretty tired... On the opposite extreme, I'm finding that I'm plowing through things so hard, and so fast that I'm missing out on the important things... Like Martha.

This moment is a pretty good example. I started working at 4pm yesterday and plowed through a bunch of work... ended around 3am this morning on a bad note. Got up, continued on this project, missed church cause I needed to get things done, and now its 1am again, and I'm just discovering that the project I've been slaving over isn't even due till next week. Meh... When I could be delighting myself in the LORD I'm choosing to be a fool and I don't even know it. At least, I know NOW.

But yeah, I need a lot of prayer... I just need to stop for a while...

Yeah, it was very amazing to watch the rescue of the third through the fifth miner rescued in real time before I headed off to bed on Tuesday night. There's actually a clock right next to the TV in our sitting room, so I was literally watching the minutes tick away as I anticipated each surfacing of the capsule. It really must have been a "rebirth" moment for each of those men. God's hand of grace has really been over this entire situation--every level of it--from all of the miners' initial survival, to the discovery of there whereabouts, and in their final rescue as it was presented before the entire world.

"I was with God, and I was with the devil. They fought, and God won."
