Says he, "I've had a passion for pottery and sculpture for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories of school involve playing with pieces of clay (including times when I got in trouble because I wasn't "paying attention"). Though I grew up in a very technically and computer oriented family, my fondest memories are of summer pottery classes at the local art museum. I went to college to study mathematics and computer science, and have had a fulfilling and profitable career as a Software Engineer, but I have never forgotten my love for sculpture. While I love to work with computers, and love to serve others, helping them most effectively use computers as a tool for their particular passion, I have to say that I am never so happy as when I have a lump of clay in my hands.

Steve's suggestions on how to leave a good comment...
- Tell the artist what caught your eye, something your particularly liked or didn't like.
- Tell the artist something you think they could have done differently or better.
- Suggest an alternate title; it tells the artist what you saw in the image.
- Interact with the artwork, continue its story.
- Ask the artist how or why they did something.
- If nothing else, even "Ooh, pretty!" or "Oh, ick!" is a lot more information than no comment at all.

Because it's past time for white-haired white men to stand up and say it.
The Heidelberg Catechism , written in 1563, remains a warm-hearted and personal statement of the Christian faith. It begins thusly...
What is your only comfort in life and in death?
That I am not my own,
but belong--
- body and soul,
in life and in death--
to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.
and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.
He also watches over me in such a way
that not a hair can fall from my head
without the will of my Father in heaven:
in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.
Because I belong to him,
Christ, by his Holy Spirit,
assures me of eternal life
and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready
from now on to live for him.
