Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

Our History of fashion class visited OSU’s costume collection this afternoon and got to look at a bunch of cool stuff. The collection also had an exhibit on Girl Scouts uniforms, which was beautiful and great. Here is a picture of Amanda and me blocking some of the items in the exhibition.

Moses Wainer Dykaar. Alexander Graham Bell. 1922.

Can we talk about how perfect the style of this bust is?

George Spencer Watson. Four Loves I found, a Woman, a Child, a Horse and a Hound. 1922. 142.2 x 195.6 cm.

Here are some photos from Together for the Gospel, taken by Sarah Danaher. There are more photos on her site, which I’d encourage you to click through and look at, because they are beautiful.

There is no “what I did this week” because I only went to school on monday. The rest of the week was spent in Louisville, Kentucky at Together for the Gospel, which was an encouraging, satisfying time of singing and learning and thinking.
