And Jesus said to him, You lack one thing: Go, close all of your tabs, and you will have treasure in heaven. But his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had a great many open tabs.

A repeat today of a painting that nearly went in the bin. And the tale of how my dad saw me painting it and made an 'Eeuw' noise and asked 'what on earth is that'. It was so hard to paint - those reflections... It was put to one side for about 6 months after that!

I have a broken blood vessel in my eye, very red and a little gruesome-looking. I was feeling tender about it, but my teens kept telling me I must have a visual power called Sharingan. So, I'm a ninja now and I'm off to do ninja stuff, bye.đĽˇ

Oh, I can't wait to see this!
âLost & Found in Clevelandâ hits theaters TOMORROW! Filmed and set here in CLE, itâs such a fun love letter to the city. Highly recommend catching it in the theater with a local crowd. Seeing it at CIFF (where it set an attendance record) was an all-time moviegoing experience.

More than compatible with the Catholic imagination, horror stories might be essential to the Catholic imagination.
