10x20 Acrylic on Canvas 


Ed Welch, in preparation for his book called A Banquet in the Grave said,

There is a mean streak to authentic self-control. . . . Self-control is not for the timid. When we want to grow in it, not only do we nurture an exuberance for Jesus Christ, we also demand of ourselves a hatred for sin. . . . The only possible attitude toward out-of-control desire is a declaration of all-out war. . . . There is something about war that sharpens the senses . . . You hear a twig snap or the rustling of leaves and you are in attack mode. Someone coughs and you are ready to pull the trigger. Even after days of little or no sleep, war keeps us vigilant.

There is a mean, violent streak in the true Christian life! But violence against whom, or what? Not other people. It’s a violence against all the impulses in us that would be violent to other people. It’s a violence against all the impulses in our own selves that would make peace with our own sin and settle in with a peacetime mentality. It’s a violence against all lust in ourselves, and enslaving desires for food or caffeine or sugar or chocolate or alcohol or pornography or money or the praise of men and the approval of others or power or fame. It’s violence against the impulses in our own soul toward racism and sluggish indifference to injustice and poverty and abortion.

Christianity is not a settle-in-and-live-at-peace-with-this-world-the-way-it-is kind of religion. If by the Spirit you kill the deeds of your own body, you will live. Christianity is war — on our own sinful impulses.

Doesn't work
Color: Dark Brown
Not effective for growing lashes. I've used it daily as directed and hoped it would work but there is no change in my lash length or density after months. Not even a "good" mascara for daily aesthetics. Overpriced, would not purchase again.

Eh. It's fine
Color: Black
I feel like this mascara is okay. Not fantastic, not terrible. I like a dramatic lash and this mascara doesn't give me the drama. I have been using it for about a month, so I can't really speak much to how well it helps the lashes grow. I haven't noticed any difference yet. It does flake a bit, but not a lot. Really just okay.

Doesn’t flake or smudge!
Color: Black
The is the first mascara I’ve ever used that truly stays put. I’ve tried several other brands (including many with tubing effects) that advertise smudge proof but aren’t. Worth buying!

Worked Nice
Color: Black
I really like this mascara much better than I thought I would. I'm not a fan of false lashes and since my own lashes are pretty pathetic I've tried just about every mascara out there to find one that at least attempts to make it look like I've actually got lashes. I was skeptical at first but this one actually worked quite well. It has a large brush but that did a good job at really separating and drawing them out so they looked longer and fuller. I also had less issue with overshooting it onto the eye lid/brow area so less Q tip cleanup required. I liked the mascara itself, it went on smoothly and felt nice on my lashes. It wasn't at all clumpy or cakey and was nice and light on. I also didn't have any issue with it flaking off during the day. It is a much higher price point than I typically pay for a single mascara and is not a really large tube, but I did notice I wasn't using as much of it as usual and I do like how it felt and looked on my lashes.
