Román o manželstve odohrávajúci sa sčasti vo Francúzsku a sčasti na Slovensku je inventúrou udalostí, zážitkov, rozprávaním o vzťahu jeho protagonistov od prvého vzájomného očarenia cez sériu odlúčení a opätovných stretnutí až po čas, keď obaja v pokročilom veku rekapitulujú vlastný život a puto medzi nimi. Próza sa odohráva na rozhraní 20. a 21. storočia v geograficky aj historicky inom svete, ako je dnes, mohla by byť aj parodickým i rozprávkovým príbehom lásky alebo zamyslením nad povahou času. Román o malých starostiach a strachoch, veľkých radostiach a malých šťastiach. Publikáciu z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia. Číta: Lucia Vráblicová

At the Art Institute of Chicago, there is a large painting titled “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” by Georges Seurat. It depicts 19th-century people relaxing by a river. However, upon closer inspection, you see that this is no ordinary painting! Seurat used a technique called pointillism, fashioning the image from thousands of tiny dots. While we may be tempted to skip past genealogies in the Bible, these lists of individual names come together to paint a larger picture of God's plan and faithfulness. This genealogy in Genesis 10 also communicated important truths for ancient Israel and for us today. In the ancient world, most societies traced their lineage directly to the beginning of the world and to the gods. They told stories of their founding that made them somehow better than all the other people in the world. In contrast, Genesis 10 describes the formation of most of the nations that existed in Israel's world: Egypt, Canaan, Assyria, the Philistines. Israel is not even mentioned in the chapter. There are two important points that follow from this. First, we are told that all the peoples of the world trace their origins back to Noah and Adam. Israel was not to view itself as superior because of their lineage. Nowhere in Scripture do we find an endorsement for racism or a sense of ethnic superiority. We are all connected in one great human family. Second, it should not surprise Israel that God cares for all the nations. As one theologian put it, “Prior to the particularity of God's call to Abram...we have the Table of Nations with its universal concern for nations and territories.” This concern for the nations is also reflected in Jesus' command to the church to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19). Go Deeper Did you find any surprises in this genealogy? For further study, look up information on Egypt, Canaan, Assyria, and the Philistines on the internet or in a Bible encyclopedia!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lee Génesis 10:1–32 En el Instituto de Arte de Chicago hay un cuadro de gran tamaño titulado Un domingo en La Grande Jatte de Georges Seurat. Representa a personas del siglo XIX relajándose junto a un río. Sin embargo, tras una inspección más cercana, verás que no se trata de una pintura cualquiera. Seurat utilizó una técnica llamada puntillismo, modelando la imagen a partir de miles de pequeños puntos. Si bien podemos sentirnos tentados a saltarnos genealogías pasadas en la Biblia, estas listas de nombres individuales se combinan para pintar un panorama más amplio del plan y la fidelidad de Dios. Esta genealogía en Génesis 10 también comunicó verdades importantes para el antiguo Israel y para nosotros hoy. En el mundo antiguo, la mayoría de las sociedades remontaban su linaje directamente al principio del mundo y a los dioses. Contaron historias de su fundación que de alguna manera los hicieron mejores que todas las demás personas del mundo. En contraste, Génesis 10 describe la formación de la mayoría de las naciones que existieron en el mundo de Israel (Egipto, Canaán, Asiria y los filisteos). Sorprendentemente, Israel ni siquiera se menciona en el capítulo. De esto se desprenden dos puntos importantes. Primero, se nos dice que todos los pueblos del mundo remontan sus orígenes a Adán y Noé. Israel no debía verse a sí mismo como superior debido a su linaje. En ninguna parte de las Escrituras encontramos un respaldo al racismo o un sentido de superioridad étnica. Todos estamos conectados en una gran familia humana. En segundo lugar, no debería sorprender a Israel que Dios se preocupe por todas las naciones. Como lo expresó un teólogo, “antes de la particularidad del llamado de Dios a Abram . . . tenemos la mesa de las naciones con su preocupación universal por las naciones y territorios”. Esta preocupación por las naciones también se refleja en el mandato de Jesús a la iglesia de: “vayan y hagan discípulos de todas las naciones” (Mateo 28:19). ¿Encontraste alguna sorpresa en esta genealogía? Para profundizar tu estudio, busca información sobre Egipto, Canaán, Asiria y los filisteos en Internet o en una enciclopedia bíblica. Ora con nosotros Tú creaste las naciones y amas lo que has creado. Padre, llena nuestros corazones con Tu amor y preocupación por todos los pueblos y naciones. Conoces íntimamente a cada pueblo, tribu y nación.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1894, George Seurat began going out to an idyllic little island away from the urban center of Paris. It was a place where people of various classes would relax. While the image is of people at leisure, Seurat was anything but relaxed. He was a disciplined artist on a mission to create a work that would be significant in art history. He spent years developing this work. He made dozens of preparatory sketches to work out the composition and technique.  While the 1890s was the heyday for Impressionists, Seurat was part of a new breed. Some consider him a post-impressionist or neo-Impressionist. Today his technique is called pointillism, but in his day, Seurat preferred the term divisionism. He was dividing the image into discrete bits, carefully painted, uniform dots of paint like pixels that make up our digital images. While his process was careful and hand-crafted, Seurat was fascinated by science. He developed his approach after reading the works of scientists like Michel Eugene Chevreul and Ogden Rood. One of the key concepts that Seurat latched onto had to do with how color is perceived in relation to its surroundings. Seurat read about the trouble restoring tapestries because they could not simply dye to match a piece, they had to account for surrounding colors. Seurat's idea was that by dividing the image into discrete dots of color, the painter could arrange combinations that would heighten the contrast and make the colors more vibrant. Seurat wanted to make his work even more vibrant by painting a frame of colored dots around the perimeter of his painting and that was offset by a clean white painted frame.

A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat is one of my favorite paintings. A few years ago I had the pleasure of standing in front of this massive masterwork at the Art Institute of Chicago while having an expert show me a few of the painting hidden secrets. You may, if you grew up in the 80's like I did remember this painting from the 1986 moving Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Matthew Broderick's character skips school and, in one scene becomes lost in this painting. Seurat used a technique called pointillism to create his painting. Simply put pointillism is the of making dots of color lay side by side or on top of each other such that when you step back you don't see the original color or the dot but rather the mixture of color and the images created by the thousands of individual points. The experience of seeing “A Sunday Afternoon” up close versus stepping back and taking the painting in from a distance couldn't be more diametrically opposed. So, how does Seurat's painting, the technique he used an the simple act of laying one dot of color next to another teach us about how our brain works and how we can harness if for peak performance?

In John Hughes's classic 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the cohort of truant teenagers make a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago, and spend some time with the classic painting by George Seurat, titled Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. One one of the most famous artworks in the world even before that star turn, it has been studied and referenced and riffed on endlessly, and is in fact the subject of at least one musical, and a whole host of academic articles. Painted in 1884 when Seurat was just 27 years old in his self-created pointillist style, the large canvas depicts an idle summer afternoon on an island in the middle of the river Seine, with multiple fashionably dressed figures glimpsed out and about enjoying a day of socializing and relaxing by the water. Artnet's Katie White is the creator and frequent scribe of a popular art history column for the site called "Three Things," where she revisits well-known works of art and offers new ways to look at them. Her article on Seurat's La Grande Jatte has been one of the most popular editions of that column, where she dives into the research about the painting's inspirations and explores some of the unexpected debates about the meaning of this classic image of summer leisure. As we near the end of the summer season, we thought we'd all take a small (virtual) vacation from the news churn, and take a day trip to visit a favorite work of art from the past. This week, Katie speaks to Artnet's chief art critic Ben Davis about this celebrated work of art.

1. Allègre — 2. Très calme — 3. VitePierre Onfroy de Bréville (1861-1949) was a French composer, teacher and critic and a friend of Franck, Debussy and Ravel. His music was elegantly crafted but has not been performed much since his death. His Sonatine for Oboe and Piano (1927) could be the sound track for an imaginary Parisian art exhibit. It first paints a jaunty tapestry of interwoven colors and textures in the spirit of Georges Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte*.  The second movement seems like a serene interlude, perhaps contemplating one of Claude Monet's paintings from his floating studio on the Seine. The final movement, Vite  is a burst of kinetic exuberance in the spirit of a music hall poster by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. *Property of The Art Institute of Chicago. Featured in Sundays in the Park with George, a musical by Stephen Sondheim

Friend-of-the-pod Donovan is back to help Phil and Jake rank John Hughes' classic film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, fireworks, and the meteorological phenomenon known as wind on the List of Every Damn Thing.If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).SHOW NOTES: One of our tweets got a like from DC the Brain Supreme of Tag Team, who of course brought you “Whoomp! (There It Is)”. Here's the Geico commercial where they do a new ice cream-themed version of the song. We just realized DC shouts “Sprinkles!” at the end of the commercial, which probably has something to do with why he liked our tweet for the episode in which we rank cake sprinkles. When Phil said there was a woman who calls herself Jessica Rabbit, he was referring to Melyssa Ford, who is a model who used to be in a lot of rap videos.  Naturally, we talk a lot about movies, including other works by director John Hughes (Home Alone, The Breakfast Club) and many of the films that are already on the List of Every Damn Thing (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Caddyshack, The Matrix, Trading Places, The Truman Show, Drumline, Star Wars). War Games is another movie where Matthew Broderick uses a computer to change his grades. There's also Career Opportunities, the last Hughes teen comedy. It's not discussed much except by creeps who remember it mostly for the scene where Jennifer Connelly rides a hobby horse. The Prestige is the best Christopher Nolan movie, it's about rival Victorian magicians & about doubles, doppelgangers, brothers, etc. The best part is when Hugh Jackman's character hires an actor that resembles him to be half of the magic trick. The second best part is whenever Michael Caine opens his mouth. John Mulaney is a well-known stand-up comedian from suburban Chicago who kind of seems like Ferris Bueller. He was a writer for Saturday Night Live. Phil might have been confused as usual when he was talking about Abe Froman being the name of the character in the Palm Beach Story. He's called "the Weenie King" and he's a rich old man who knows where to buy meat cheap. Rampage was a video game where you can control one of three giant monsters that destroy a city. When they're defeated they turn back into naked humans. It was adapted into a movie starring Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.  The painting that Phil mentioned was Georges Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte which is at the Art Institute of Chicago. It was the inspiration for the musical Sunday in the Park with George, which Phil's never seen. Of course we devote time to the Sport-o's, Motorheads, Geeks, Sluts, Bloods, Wasteoids, Dweebies and Dickheads. We went over the crimes of Jeffrey Jones in our Howard the Duck episode, in case you care to learn more. The Ferris Bueller sitcom was on TV at the same time as Parker Lewis Can't Lose but didn't last as long because it presumably sucked. Ferris Bueller's Day Off gave the song “Oh Yeah” by Yello a real boost. Does Donovan think the NYPD is giving him Havana syndrome? No, but that doesn't mean he trusts them. We briefly discuss dog suicide. If you're having suicidal thoughts, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. Phil mentions the Simpsons episode “The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show”, maybe his favorite episode. It includes a short cartoon called The Beagle Has Landed in which Itchy and Scratchy are on their way to the fireworks factory but are interrupted by Poochie, who introduces himself by rapping. They never go to the fireworks factory. Jake tells a Warped Tour story about Rusty Pistachio from the band H2O flexed on some dudes from an unnamed mediocre punk band who were shooting very lethal fireworks very close to Jake and his friends. Smith Puget gets quite a lot of well-deserved compliments in the episode. The “little man” is the system used by the San Francisco Chronicle to review movies. Instead of stars there are pictures of a man in one of five positions: clapping wildly and jumping out of his seat, clapping, sitting attentively, asleep, or the dreaded empty chair. They should probably make some more specific ones like the guy's face is melting off because the movie is too trippy or he's eating a movie theater hot dog. The “Sonoma Aroma” is a phenomenon in which, on some days, in some parts of Sonoma County, California, there will be a smell of cow manure in the air.

Join Zach and Rafe for a discussion of everything related to (and some things NOT related to) color.  Starting at the electromagnetic spectrum, the conversation meanders through marine biology, to Ray Charles and Ray Bradbury, to the metric system, to Wayne Gretzky, to candles, to Roy G Biv (and the desire to rename it for Ray Charles!), to the Doppler effect and getting chased by the police, to the redshift in astronomy, to colorblindness and frisbees, to evolutionary biology, to dirt, to bees and butterflies, to Bufnagle-branded honey, to watercolor paints and Play-doh, to Isaac Newton, to subtractive and additive models of color, to refraction, to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, to the plague and gravity and calculus, to donuts, to the color wheel(s), to oranges and the produce section at the grocery store, to hexidecimals, to 24-bit colors on computers, to pointilism, and finally to Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and Lego.It's a wonderful and whimsical and colorful discussion, albeit a little chaotic and distracted.  But if it weren't it wouldn't be Bufnagle: the Podcast.

Georges Seurat's masterpiece A Sunday on La Grande Jatte–1884, is the kind of painting that has become so ubiquitous it almost disappears into itself, but within this busy scene of curiously automata-like human interaction lie many clues to the transformations of the period. For one, this picture manifests a shift in thinking from imitation to civilization, mimesis to evolution, insofar as it encapsulates Darwin's theories of natural selection and their ramifications for the understanding of human psychology at the time.

In this episode, musician and editor Rob Weinert-Kendt joins hosts Isaac Butler and Catherine Nichols to discuss the musical "Sunday in the Park with George" with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine. The play focuses on the painter Georges Seurat and his common-law wife Dot, in the time when he was painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, but in its second act goes to Seurat's great grandson, also an artist, and his personal crisis. The conversation address issues of muses, second acts, artistic isolation and connection, and how the play is inevitably read through the lens of biography, especially in the wake of Sondheim's death. Rob Weinert-Kendt is the editor of American Theatre and a frequent contributor to America magazine. He is also a musician. Here are some of Rob's pieces on "Sunday in the Park with George" and Sondheim: An interview with Sarna Lapine, who directed the 2017 SUNDAY revival: https://www.americantheatre.org/2017/03/21/how-sarna-lapine-makes-sunday-in-the-park-sing/ A preview of the 2008 revival (not on Time Out's site anymore, but hosted on own janky website): http://robkendt.com/Features&News/sundayinpark.htm Thoughts on Sondheim's death https://www.americantheatre.org/2021/11/30/nothing-thats-not-been-said-on-sondheim/ An in-depth interview with him from 10 years ago https://www.americantheatre.org/2011/04/01/stephen-sondheim-playwright-in-song/ Then two from Isaac: https://slate.com/culture/2021/11/stephen-sondheim-dead-obituary-career-west-side-story.html https://slate.com/podcasts/culture-gabfest/2021/12/review-spencer-yellowjackets-stephen-sondheim Learn more about your ad choices.

As part of his 80th birthday celebrations in 2010, Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim looked back over his life and work, with Donald Macleod. The result is a fascinating retrospective of half a century of creativity, with the artist himself as tour guide. Along the way, he explodes a few myths about the inner workings of musical theatre. Sondheim starts by talking about his childhood, his parents' divorce, his near-adoption by the Hammerstein family and his apprenticeship with Oscar Hammerstein, the lyricist of Oklahoma! Then there's the rollercoaster ride of his early career: his first, abortive Broadway show; two amazing breaks, when he was commissioned to write the lyrics for first West Side Story, then Gypsy; his unhappy collaboration with Richard Rogers; and his major creative breakthrough with Company, a musical with situations and characters but no conventional plot, and the first appearance of characteristic Sondheim subject-matter - the virtual impossibility of forming good relationships. As one British critic observed, "It is extraordinary that a musical, that most trivial of forms, should be able to plunge as Company does, with perfect congruity, into the profound depths of human perplexity and misery.". Next, and in typical Sondheim fashion, Stephen expands the notion of what the musical could be, with razor-sharp language and cracking tunes to boot: Follies, in which a reunion of Ziegfield-style Follies stars in a derelict theatre becomes a metaphor for the death of the American dream; A Little Night Music, a musical about relationships written almost entirely in waltz-time, that spawned Sondheim's most famous song, 'Send in the Clowns'; and Pacific Overtures, a 'kabuki musical' with an all-Japanese cast - an exploration of the 19th-century westernization of Japan, seen from the Japanese perspective. Sweeney Todd is widely regarded as Sondheim's masterpiece, an extraordinarily powerful work which he has modestly described as "a small and scary evening about the need for revenge.". Sweeney Todd was a huge success and is widely performed today, from schools (in a special educational edition) to opera houses. Whereas Merrily We Roll Along, failed to catch the public mood. It is a tale of disintegrating friendships and compromised idealism, narrated, in a characteristic structural twist, backwards. Despite a marvellous score, it remains Sondheim's biggest flop to date. Among other topics, Sondheim also discusses his long-time collaboration with director Hal Prince, the logistics of working with an orchestrator, and the heart attack he suffered in 1979, just three weeks after the opening of Sweeney. Next, the musical that grew out of a painting; a tangled web of fairytales; and a positively murderous show about the assassins, and would-be-assassins, of US presidents. The painting in question is Seurat's hugely famous A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, and the work it inspired was the Pulitzer-prize-winning Sunday in the Park with George, a deeply personal show about the joys and the costs of creation. The fairytales are the ones familiar to every child, but in Into the Woods they are woven together in an extraordinarily intricate way, before completely unravelling in the second act. Assassins caused a huge furore when it was unveiled in 1990, not least because it happened to coincide with the opening salvo of the first Gulf War, Operation Desert Storm - under such circumstances, a show that climaxed with the assassination of JFK was bound to be interpreted as deeply unpatriotic. Sondheim also talks about the logistics of mounting a Broadway production, and the pleasures of "trancing out" during the creative process. Finally, Passion, a kind of reversal of the Beauty and the Beast myth, which Sondheim has described as "one long rhapsody, a straightforward, non-ironic love story"; The Frogs, a contemporary take on Aristophanes originally staged in the swimming pool at Yale University (with Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver in the chorus line); and Road Show, a musical about the Mizner brothers which proves the old adage that "musicals aren't written, they're re-written" - it's currently in its fourth incarnation.

Welcome back to a summery edition of This Present MomentPreface: June 2021The Year is born out of winter, and Spring brings it to bloom. Its flowering unfurls into this month of June. Now, Life is everywhere. The Year is finally grown. It's matured into Summer, its splendor fully shown. As the Earth has opened up, so too have we. Suddenly there's crowds babbling in the streets. Live music's traveling, filling the evening air, Carrying a Normalcy back into our ears. America's regaining her collective senses. She's stretching out her legs and kneading out the tension. Our faces feel free, our bodies touch when we meet, And the bounding Pulse of Life once again beats. Summer's here again, and so too are we. We reunite with friends and hug our families. And we all play together, in dreams forevermore, In the sacred common ground of our Great Outdoors.The Glow of Summer1. You Know that Feeling during a Perfect Day of Summer? Where everything around seems to burst with Life and Color. A glimpse out of your window strokes your heart to flutter, And you're seduced to go outside, as if glanced by a lover. This universal invitation of a Perfect Day of Summer Calls forth a world of Strangers to commune with one another. Like everyone has joined in worship of the weather. It is this clever way in which the Earth brings us together. Sometimes those Summer Days arouse a kind of glow, A joie de vivre which follows everywhere you go. You find you're greeting passersby with genuine Hello's, And sometimes they'll reciprocate as if they too glow, Like they are vibing with you in that Summer Flow. On the specialest of Days this multiplies and grows, Like some secret's got around and everybody Knows. Because everybody senses that vivacious Summer glow. 2. As an example I recall a certain memory: It was a Perfect Day and I was vibing on that energy. Prospect Park, in Brooklyn, was dancing with activity. I stood amidst a meadow, surrounded by the synchrony Of many little characters in their own little lives, Culture's many dots in a portrait pointillized: A Hipster tickled his Son, a Fat Man pushed through a run, Yogis moved to djembe drums, and a dog basked in the sun. It was as if The Artist had painted a Perfect Day, Like George Seurat's "Sunday on La Grande Jatte." There's something simply Right about a World at Play, Where the whole Human Drama lifts above the fray. The meadow felt in perfect balance, like fireflies at night Who from a frenzied flurry flash together in one light. Hiding in simplicity is Beauty beyond compare. We almost always miss it, but it's always right there. ☞ As I took in this Moment, a disabled man came my way. "Developmentally challenged" I think is what we say. He bounced on towards me as elated as can be, Radiating out this innocent giddy. He beamed me a few words: "It's a Beautiful Day!" "Yes it is," I said. And he skipped along his way. It was the tiniest exchange, but the realest connection, To meet him in vibration in that Present Dimension. At my worst I can get swindled into that illusion That for my wits and intellect I am somehow more "human." This man and me are given different looks by our society. I, with my "intelligence," am privileged to its niceties. He we can't make "sense" of, so we offer him our pity, As if our hard-scrubbed Vanity will keep our conscience pretty. But this charade falls away and the walls come down In that lifting of the lid of the Here and Now. 3. We all share in this secret, yet we all forget we Know. But on the Best of Days you may feel it start to grow. Rising from the Earth it thus blossoms to bestow A reminding spark of Radiance which sets the world aglow. There is something sacred in a Perfect Day of Summer, When Man lets luminosity and timeless Beauty govern. It takes hold of his consciousness and Life feels rediscovered, And just for that brief Moment, Paradise is uncovered.This story took place in a meadow near the southern end of Prospect Park. I've had a number of sublime experiences in this very spot, and I believe there's a special magic there.An hour after this story occurred I came upon a tribe of Rastamen in a densely forested hill overlooking the field. One of them told me that they protect the spiritual energy of this meadow, ensuring it remains pure. "Good vibes only," he told me.Until next time, enjoy the magic of Summer. If you've been enjoying This Present Moment and would like to support the project, you can now be a paying subscriber.And if there's someone you think may dig any these pieces, please forward it along!

Matthew 1:1-17 Series: Advent 2020 #4 # Introduction My favorite technique of painting is Pointillism. For whatever reason, I remember my fourth-grade art teacher introducing us to “Seurat the Dot” at least as she nicknamed him (here is [my favorite painting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Sunday_Afternoon_on_the_Island_of_La_Grande_Jatte)). Pointillism, as you might expect, is the meticulous pointing or dotting of a canvas with small dabs with the tip of a small brush. From a distance it is often hard to tell that the painting is made of dots at all, but up close one can see the crowded specks that blend to form the picture. (Also interesting, printers and screens are concerned with dpi, that is, the density of dots per inch.) Pointillism is the opposite of broad brushing. It's not a quick method, not like rolling or spraying the side of a barn. No single dot makes the painting, but every single daub gives depth and direction to it. The birth of Jesus could be considered as just a dot in a landscape of human history. For as significant as the Incarnation was, and is, God did not dump out a 5-gallon bucket of paint to mark it. Ponder with me, like Mary, some of these things in your hearts. God told *the serpent* that Eve would have offspring who would crush his head (Genesis 3:15). God did not tell Adam and Eve, or the serpent, when. God told Abram that he also would have offspring of his own, that nations would come from him, and that certain of his offspring would bring blessing to all the families of the earth (Genesis 12:1-2; 15:5). God did not tell him when. God told David through Nathan that he would have offspring that would rule from the throne as King of Israel, that the nations of the earth would come and do homage (2 Samuel 7:12-16). God did not tell him when. There were a lot of details given to the patriarchs (i.e., Abraham, Jacob, Judah) and to the prophets about the seed, starting small. Some of it is super obvious, at least if you know what you're looking for. But the prophets themselves “searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating” about His coming (1 Peter 1:10-11). To Isaiah it was revealed: > Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14 ESV, quoted in Matthew 1:23) To Micah it was revealed: > But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, > who are too little to be among the clans > of Judah, > from you shall come forth for me > one who is to be ruler in Israel, > whose coming forth is from of old, > from ancient days. (Micah 5:2 ESV, quoted in Matthew 2:6) As I mentioned in the first advent message three Sundays ago, God's people were *waiting*; they didn't know *when*. As generations went by God progressively revealed more specifics, but fathers and their sons anticipated the arrival of a Son who would be King. They weren't the only ones looking for this one seed in a great tree, for the promised point on the canvas. It wasn't only the visible realm, but also the invisible—at least to our eyes—world that was watching. The ancient serpent, the dragon, was also looking for the seed. Remember from Revelation 12, the great sign of a “woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars” (Revelation 12:1)? That Woman is *not* Mary, it is *the genealogy* of Matthew 1:1-17. The Woman is not only the Jesus' genealogy, but if this was a painting, think of His genealogy as a distinct line of subtle color on the Woman, obvious once it's finished and pointed out. It was not only subtle leading up to Joseph and Mary, it was *covert*, so small that it was largely secret. Why? Because the dragon was looking to devour the Child. > And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon….His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. (Revelation 12:3–4, ESV) Again, the Woman is Israel. The dragon was not in the stable/delivery room with Mary, he was watching the entire nations's nursery as it were. The dragon was watching and waiting to find the Child. But he didn't know when either. We don't know everything that's happening in the spiritual, invisible realm, even though we know that realm exists and is part of our wrestling and warfare; “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12). We have enemies, and they were seeking to destroy our Hope. For whatever reason, through ignorance or ineptitude or blindness, the dragon and his scribes and scouts were not as attentive as the Magi from the east (Matthew 2:1-2). The only people on the planet who knew, in the moment, that the King was born were Joseph and Mary and some small group of shepherds. It was just another dot on the canvas, “just Christmas.” The heavenly host *had* to announce the joy to *someone* (Luke 2:13-14), but it was limited in such a way as to make the point *and* keep the identity of the Child-King secret from His enemies that would have done anything to kill him. This is why the arrival of the Magi two or so years later is not just a matter of historical accuracy, it is a matter of divine strategy. When they arrived before Herod, Herod was “*troubled*,” “disturbed” (NIV), alarmed. He responded immediately. As we've seen in the Apocalypse, the spiritual forces are often in alignment with political powers. Herod's attempt to find and devour the Child was not merely his own petty, fleshly fear about losing his throne. There wasn't a government in the world that the dragon wouldn't have used to assassinate the newborn King. As it is, God warned Joseph through an angel to hide in Egypt (Matthew 2:13), making Herod's decree to slaughter all the male children in the region of Bethlehem (Matthew 2:16) a blood-red strain on the painting, but not blotting over the Christ. The King was born! > She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron (Revelation 12:5a ESV, citing Psalm 2) Looking back at Matthew's genealogy of Jesus is easy. It's finished; every “t” crossed and “i” dotted. But it was not so clear as the painting was being dotted. Which way would the family tree branch? Where would the next point lead? The genealogy reminds us not only to wait on the Lord, but also, **don't despise the day of small begettings**. “Begat” is the English word William Tyndale (c. 1525) used that the KJV translators (1611) borrowed from him (Wycliffe used “bigate” c. 1390) for the Greek word ἐγέννησεν (*egennesen*), which is the verb used 40 times in the genealogy. The ESV waters it down with “was the father of,” and fine, but “begat” is both lively and sturdy. (Andrew Peterson's song, “[Matthew's Begats](https://youtu.be/06XHn4D9Nzw),” is well done.) It was Zechariah to whom the Lord gave encouragement about small beginnings. When Israel returned from the captivity in Babylon (referenced in Jesus' genealogy, Matthew 1:11-12, 17), it was not obvious to the Jews that their rebuilding efforts would succeed. It felt to them as if starting over, from the ground up, wouldn't survive the threats from neighbors. So first, the Lord reminded them, “Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of hosts” (Zechariah 4:8). And then specifically related to the temple, the LORD promised that it would be completed, “For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice” (Zechariah 4:10). Or, “Who dares make light of small beginnings?” (NET) One brick isn't a wall, one dot isn't a painting, one son isn't always the solution. But don't despise the day of small begettings because then the King was born! The birth of the King was without a parade. In the moment it did not feel awesome, even though of all the dots on the canvas of earth, Jesus' birth really is awesome. But the glory of that dot could only be seen *by faith*. How many people did Joseph even try to tell about his dream, and how many of them didn't meet him for coffee again after that? Mary was a young woman and, apart from her cousin, she seems to have gone through her pregnancy and labor mostly alone; she didn't even get a home birth. Were they glad for the stable? I'm sure they were, but ox and ass aren't comfort animals. Bethlehem was off the beaten path. *Nothing* visible was big about this begat. Yet as we look at the canvas, after the passing of 2000 more years of the Lord's work, what dot has not been affected by the begat of Jesus “who is called Christ” (Matthew 1:16)? Because of that small dot on a potentially silent and starry night, time and space and heaven and hell and souls and stories, and even God Himself, have not been the same. If after Adam's fall we have questions about the goodness of being bodily image-bearers of God, the Incarnation of the God Himself into flesh forever settles the matter. What a small, but irreversible, begat. If we wondered about the possibility of knowing our Maker's transcendent “eternal power and divine nature” (Romans 1:20), it is the eternal Logos, through whom all things were made (John 1:3), who made known this invisible God (John 1:18), and brings all who believe to be *children* of this Father God (John 1:12). What a small, but incredible, begat. Christmas gives us the ultimate and also concrete standard for humility (think Philippians 2:5-7). Christmas is the ultimate and decisive test for who is telling the truth: > By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. (1 John 4:2–3, ESV) Christmas exposed philosophers as fools. Christmas makes redemption possible for Scrooges, and makes every Scrooge a character to be pitied, not imitated. Christmas, with Jesus' growth and perfect obedience and loving sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the grave, is a project of abundant life life (John 10:10). Christmas divides our marking of years, B.C. and A.D. (before Christ and “in the year of our Lord”). Christmas, unknown to our enemies at the time, sent demons reeling and into constant scurrying in attempt to retaliate. Christmas began the crushing of the serpent's head. That is some kind of small begat. # Conclusion How should you respond to all of this? Believe it. Rejoice in it. And Just Christmas. The theme of our study through Revelation has been Just Conquer. When the saints keep faith in Jesus they conquer the dragon, and the world, through the Lamb-King. **“This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith”** (1 John 5:4). And Jesus said all we need is faith like the grain of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20). So then, by faith, *just Christmas*. I mean “Christmas” here as a verb, a small action, a small dot painted in and for Jesus' name. Is your gift small? Is your sacrifice small? Is your encouraging word small? So was every begat. Are you giving yourself for your kids, for your guests, for your employer/employees, but it doesn't feel awesome in the moment? Remember Bethlehem. Don't despise the day of small begettings. God not only can use small births and small gifts, God has His reasons for choosing them. Make a point, even if it's just a small one. May God be pleased to use your little point in His grand canvas for His glory and your blessing. ---------- ## Charge: God "begat" (Tyndale's translation) us to life (James 1:18) by the word of truth, and by implication that means that He begat us to receive all His good gifts (1:17), begat us to be quick to hear and slow to speak and slow to anger (1:19), begat us to obedience as doers of the Word (1:22), begat us to the law of liberty (1:25), begat us to be #blessed (1:25). The King was born, and you've been born again into His kingdom. Offer whatever you have to Him, no matter how small. ## Benediction: > Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen. (Romans 16:25–27, ESV)

“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow, and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune's control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.” – Seneca Do you think too much about the future that you are not living in today? This quote from Seneca hits two really great points of the Stoics. Momento Mori, remember you will die, and because we could die at any moment, there really is no other time than now. There is now and not now. Amor Fati, love your fate. Because we have so little control over what happens to us in life, worrying about the future is worrying about something that may never happen. So when you think about it, the only thing you have control over is your choices at this moment. Many of the great philosophies and religions focus on mindfulness, of being in the present moment. What does mindfulness mean exactly? What does it mean to live in the now? To me it mean bringing my focus, my attention, my awareness to the present moment. To be fully engaged in my life, and not stuck thinking about how great things are going to be in the future, but to be present and involved with what’s going on around me and the work that I am engaged in. To be honest, I do get very stuck in the future. I think about all these great things that I want to do and create, or how much better it’s going to be....tomorrow or the next day or next week, and pretty soon, it’s next week and I didn’t get done what I wanted and I didn’t enjoy the things that happened. It takes effort to keep myself in the present and not get stuck thinking about the future. It’s a lifelong habit that I’ve built up and it’s not easy to break. But I have found that being more present and more focused on the moment, things seem more vivid and intense, it a good way. It’s like I’m more awake to the world. For example when I go on a walk in the wood near my house, if I’m making an effort to notice more of the world around me, the woods seem more colorful and the smells more sharp. It’s the difference between being half asleep and fully awake. Growing up, we’re often too focused on what life will be like in the future. When we’re in grade school we want to be in middle school. Middle school we want high school. Then off to college, career, family. And the thing is, whatever our future holds, it’s all going to happen anyway, so why not focus on enjoying today? Have you ever seen the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges-Pierre Seurat? For those of your who’ve seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, it’s the painting that they stare at in the Art Institute of Chicago. It’s an amazing work of art that is made up of tiny points of unmixed paint. By doing so, your eye fuses the colors together to create the end color. So to create purple, Seurat would paint red dots next to blue dots until the eye saw purple. Seurat focused daily, deliberately putting each individual brushstroke to canvas, focusing on each small section to bring out the colors he wanted, until 2 years later the 10 foot painting was complete. Creating a life is the same way. If we take the time to lovingly and deliberately focus on and live in each day, in this present moment, then we have a great life each and every day. We never have a bad day. There’s a great quote by Steven Chandler in his book The Time Warrior. “Don’t create your year, create your day. Figure out the perfect day and then live it. The year will take care of itself. So will your life.” What can you do to create your perfect day? I think choosing what are the most important things for today, and then doing them with care, and focus. Let go of what you’ll do tomorrow. Tomorrow doesn’t yet exist, so is not real. Now is real, and now is the only time that you can do anything with. Don’t be busy, be effective. Are you doing something that matters or are you wasting time? Do it well. Don’t half-ass your way through something. Do it with care and focus and in a way that makes you proud. What can you do to keep yourself in the present moment? Slow down. This is one of the hardest things for me to do. But it takes time to live deliberately. We get too caught up in finishing, that we forget to enjoy the creating or the doing. Stop. Sometimes just stop and breath from time to time and look around and see the world, to be thankful. I know some people set reminders so they take time to re-center themselves. Write it down. For me, one of the most effective things I do is to get all the things in the future out of my head. I write them down so they don’t spin around in my head. I take care of it now, or I choose a time in the future to take care of it. When I do that, when I get it off my mind, it frees up brain cycles for more important things. When I don’t do that simple exercise, I spend time trying to hold onto all these ideas, and appointments and such, and half the time I forget them anyway. Living immediately helps you to worry less about the future, because your focus, your attention is on the present. This also helps you not feel overwhelmed because the future is not your focus. Now is the focus, so you only deal with the now, and ignore everything that is not now. Like Ferris Bueller says, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Inge Fiedler, Conservation Microscopist, discusses the technical study of Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte 1884, painted between 1884 and 1886. Using an innovative technique commonly called "pointillism," Seurat, who preferred the term "chromo-luminarism," created a masterpiece that still astonishes visitors today. Learn how it was created from someone who has examined the painting very, very closely. This podcast is brought to you by the Ancient Art Podcast. Explore more at ancientartpodcast.org.
