After joining the Moravian Church in Germany, artist John Valentine Haidt (1700-1780) moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1754, where he painted under the auspices of the Moravian church. In First Fruits,, Haidt depicted twenty-five people of different faiths and ethnicities who had gone to Heaven after their conversion to Christianity by Moravian missionaries.

Lezing over het schilderij De Eerstelingen Credit: moravian archives Zeist
Op het boeiende schilderij uit 1747 vereeuwigde predikant en schilder Johann Valentin Haidt de overleden eerste bekeerlingen die voortkwamen uit het zendingswerk van de Broedergemeente. Het schilderij - dat hangt in de Kleine Zaal van de Broedergemeente - verhaalt onder meer van de zendingsreizen van de Herrnhutters, want de afgebeelden stammen van verschillende plaatsen in de wereld, zoals Groenland. Markus Gill is voorganger bij de Broedergemeente.

I GO TO EXTREMES, Billy Joel

Darling - I Know Why - I can Always Count on You.

“a determination to rub one's nose in the very quiddity of each thing, to rejoice in its being so magnificently what it was/is.” 

Get your audio on - and enjoy - - - one of the songs of my life - - - -


Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight

Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take
Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will

Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?

And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

No I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

I don't know why...I don't know why...
I don't know why...I don't know why...
Out in the dark...into the light...
either i'm wrong...perfectly right

The Fall (Colors) Is Upon Us

" - - - crisp sunny autumn days, with leaves changing color, is the crown of the year."

 "It sounds fantastic to say that one can be enamored of a season, but that is something like what happened; and, as before, the experience was one of intense desire. And one went back to the book, not to gratify the desire (that was impossible--how can one possess Autumn?) but to reawake it."
xxx
"Autumn is really the best of the seasons; and I'm not sure that old age isn't the best part of life. But of course, like autumn, it doesn't last."

"But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumour that it will not always be so."
