The pressures I'm feeling...

Social Networking

I was having a discussion yesterday about how I think that social networking and things like MSN are stunting young peoples personal and interaction skills. Young people would much prefer to type out their issues than talk face to face with someone.

Today I gained my 700th friend on Facebook. I do genuinely know all of these people on there, but it made me think about why I have Facebook, and how much of my life I am allowing random friends to see!!

Moving Art

I spent the day in Scotland a few weeks ago for a freelance photography job. I had some time to use up before i flew back to London and spend a chunk of time in the Aberdeen Art Gallery. They have recently acquired a Tracey Emin piece for their collection. This is part of series, but the words in this heart really spoke to me. It said 'I felt you and I knew you loved me'. Straight away I felt God speaking to me on this. I know I am loved by him, taking the 'd' off this quote sums it all up for me. When looking for an image on good old google for this (as I couldn't take pictures in the gallery, boo) I found a few of her other pieces, they are obviously intended as mushy-couple-love, but I hear God speaking these words over me.

On this little gallery jaunt I also discovered some of the 2004 Hirst/Bailey Stations Of The Cross work. This collection is not for everyone - thats my warning- but I found some of the images interesting.
