The Lesson from the Good and Bad Figs
1 The LORD showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrez'zar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconi'ah the son of Jehoi'akim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon. 2 Kgs. 24.12-16 · 2 Chr. 36.10
2 One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
3 Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
4 ¶ Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chalde'ans for their good.
6 For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
8 ¶ And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedeki'ah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
9 and I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

Antoine Vollon was greatly influenced by the superb still life painter Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, and followed in his love of simple food and kitchen related genre subjects.
At his most expressive, Vollon’s thick, fluid impasto paint strokes gave visceral presence to the term “buttery”, that painters use to describe paint that flows off the brush in consistency that is workably fluid but thick enough to be manipulated as brushstrokes. This is seen in the remarkable brushwork of his aptly chosen subject of Mound of Butter (above, top with detail crop).

Luke1:70
"As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:"

"Of him have all the prophets borne witness" (Ac 10:43). "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Re 19:10). Bishop Brownrig says: ``The whole volume of Scripture did prophesy of him. He was the sum and scope of all their predictions. He was Abraham's promised seed, Abraham's Isaac, Jacob's Shiloh, Moses' Great Prophet, Esaias' Immanuel, Ezekiel's Shepherd, Daniel's Holy One, Zechariah's Branch, Malachi's Angel; all of them predictions to foretell his coming. All their types and ceremonies pointed at him. He was Abel's Sacrifice, Noah's Dove, Abraham's First Fruits, Aaron's Rod, the Israelites' Rock, the Patriarchs' Manna, David's Tabernacle, Solomon's Temple; all these prefigured his incarnation. They were the folds and swathing of the this babe Jesus.''

Join The World’s Largest Radio Flyer Wagon Mosaic

I love a parade. I remember as a young child in the city thrilling to soldiers marching in the streets. Thank God V-E Day came . We supported out troops then. Too bad we don’t as much now. Too many of our citizens chose to forget that America has been at war almost ten years now and its end is a long way off.

I remember parents decorating Radio Flyer Wagons in the traditional colors red, white, and blue, attaching flags, putting the kids in costume, stowing them on board the wagons, then traveling the parade route. Why? They were patriots as we also should be. We do not have to believe in war to support our country. I wish I had some pictures from the 40′s when working class America didn’t have the time or money for toys like then expensive cameras.

Radio Flyer as a company has been a household name here in the U. S. A. for 93 years. My father and mother got one of its little red wagons for my brother. When it was gone, they refused to get me one because I was a girl. How unfair! Thankfully rights and toys are no longer determined strictly by stereotyped preferences. That is probably the main reason why I bought my firstborn (a girl), one which she passed on to her three brothers. I even bought a little one myself a few years back to use as part of my holiday decoration display. Imagination and make believe are fun.

Radio Flyer is launching its World’s Largest Wagon Mosaic. Everyone is invited to add a photo to help a tradition and a legacy live on. Please go to www.RadioFlyerArt.com and go for it. I am. Furthermore, I challenge you to find it. Hint: Little things can mean a lot.

I’d love to hear your memories of Radio Flyer Wagons, whether they be from your childhood or perhaps your child’s.
