Moody Artwork

READ: 1 Peter 3:8-12

Be tenderhearted, be courteous. —1 Peter 3:8

British and American computer scientists have created artwork that changes according to how the viewer feels. The computer program analyzes the position and shape of the mouth, the angle of the brows, the openness of the eyes, and five other facial features to determine the viewer’s emotional state. The artwork then alters, based on the viewer’s mood. If joy is seen on the face, the artwork will show up in bright colors. If there’s a scowl, the image will become dark and somber.

Our moods can also affect the people around us—our family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances. Our life touches people, whether for good or bad. Each person is responsible for his or her own reaction to us, of course. Yet the way we behave makes a difference in others’ lives.

The apostle Peter encouraged us to have compassion for others, to love, to be tenderhearted and courteous, and not to return evil for evil but rather blessing (1 Peter 3:8-9). Following his instructions may be difficult for us on a day when we feel cranky. By depending on the Holy Spirit, we can have a positive impact on everyone we meet—even if all we do is smile or listen.

Let’s paint our world in bright colors today.

My life will touch a dozen lives
Before this day is done,
Leave countless marks for good or ill
Before the setting sun. —Anon.

A heart touched by grace brings joy to the face. Bible in One Year: 2 Samuel 4–6; Proverbs 14:1-11

Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Now I’m scared - here were my results ;-)

0% scored higher (more computer geeky),
0% scored the same, and
100% scored lower (less geeky).
What does this mean? Your computer geekiness is:

Step aside Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds, and Steve Jobs... You are by far the SUPREME COMPUTER GOD!!!

[proxy_user]

Not fair! They asked it you programmed a Commodore 64, but not an Atari. They are both 6502 assembler, with different hardware tricks to access the graphics.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three...Sand!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, TS....first in for you. A good teaching day?

[PROCON]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor....thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

And a wonderful evening to you, Sand. Day is done!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Hope, for today's Pledge. Thanks to you, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your parts in helping keep all of us free and safe.

[SandRat]

Yep. Hope you can soon get some rest.

Gotta call and talk to my folks in a few minutes

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Izzy. Are you a computer geek? I failed miserably.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oops! Double post.

When was the last time you used ascii?

[puppypusher]

“Hello there, puppypusher. Did it stop raining? It keeps threatening here. We need a good steady rainfall.”

Kathy We are expecting rain the next two to three days.The temps haven't been to bad though.

The only problem with all of this rain is the grass and tree pollen will drive you crazy if you have allergies to them.

I hope you get the rain you need soon.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, proxy_user....you know what they say about life. LOL!! So how did you do without the question you didn’t get asked?

[Tanniker Smith]

A few years back when I tried to show some junior high school students how their names were represented in a computer.

Also, I used to check the "invisible" characters in a file by checking their hex codes to figure out what values were stored there when I used to examine files of data for one reason or another.

[Tanniker Smith]

32 HEX!
