Who Can Be Saved?*
 
23Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples,
"How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!"

For he had great possession,* 1894

Action springs not from thought,
but from a readiness for responsibility.
                                                                ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
 
 
 
Architecture is inhabited sculpture.
                                                                ~ Constantin Brancusi
 
 
 
A designer knows he has achieved perfection
not when there is nothing left to add,
but when there is nothing left to take away.
                                                                ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery
                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                               
 
The Denver Art Museum had their
grand opening last weekend!!!
During the 35 hours it was open, they had 33,755 visitors!
 
(More easily viewed with a full screen)
 
   
 
          
 
   
I was particularly happy to see art works from our African collection finally have a permanent home.  In the Conservation Council, we have worked closely with many of these artifacts but have generally seen them only on the shelves in storage.
 
   
 
   
 
   
       
The Harmsen Collection, too, now has a permanent home.
 
This is the interior of the crosswalk that spans 14th Avenue
and connects the new Hamilton Building with the 'old'
North Building.  I like this view because it includes the
"Mailbox Building" in the distance (top right).  The top of the Mailbox Building
is where Frederic C. Hamilton resides.  (I'm not sure he actually
lives there, but his art collection is there ... can anyone clarify?)
 
   
 
Still working to be ready for the Grand Opening!
(These pictures were taken the Wednesday before the Opening.)

If I keep a green bough in my heart,
the singing bird will come.

*     Here comes that man again, running up to Jesus with a question about eternal life. We can hear those dreaded words on Jesus’ lips even before the man approaches: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." Even before Mark tells us so, we know that the rich young man will turn away grieving, for he has many possessions. And some of us grieve with him as we see him leave, knowing his choice could be ours as well.
