The bLog in Your Own Eye: Butterflies and Bells

Why the name "bLog in Your Own Eye"?

Matthew 7:3 - 5 "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye."

We should all endeavor to think rightly about ourselves and graciously about one another. We all have specks and logs in our eyes.

Butterflies and Bells

I love this picture. Viceroy butterflies are so gorgeous. FYI, this is a Viceroy, not a Monarch. Viceroy's have thinner black vertical stripes on their wings as well as a horizontal line across the bottom. Monarchs have fewer bold black vertical stripes, and no horizontal stripes. This is one of my pet peeves, especially because I see signs for a Monarch Development Inc. but they have a Viceroy on the sign. They obviously didn't do research before creating their logo.

Now this bell is a bell on the column at my Aunt's farm house, and it shows pure Southern taste. The bell, for calling everyone for dinner, and WELCOME on the top, where you know you are not going to be stared down by the barrel of a shotgun. :) You might though, at her farm, if you hope to shoot game on her property, she doesn't want any of that. :) I hope you all have a marvelous day!
