Jérémie Martino, Moment de Detente dans la Vie d’un Peintre #1, 240 x 200 cm, oil on canvas, 2010
This dude is impressive. Period. The only way you can dislike him is if you have some problem with how much attention ESPN gives him. His parents have to be among the proudest in the world.
There really should be more philanthropy coming from the celeb/sporting world. I understand there are some pretty generous people running around in these circles, but if you think about the lavish amounts spent on material possessions it pales in comparison.
Love it!
I’m not really much of a fan of interpretive dance or drama or whatever this is, but I can’t help but get goosebumps when I watch this video. In my opinion, a dead-on symbolic interpretation of the war being waged between good and evil each and every day. Luckily, we know who wins in the end (Revelation 20). Despite this, we tend to struggle to live our lives in a way that shows we know how it ends. How often do we focus on the temporary conveniences/pleasures of life instead of the gifts given to us by God (namely His grace)? Thankfully, as shown in this video, God never gives up on us because of His perfect love (1 John 4).
