![]() ![]() Follow along if you already have the book or if not, I would highly suggest picking this book up to read on a daily basis to spend some time with God. Thus, I will start posting what I am learning and my personal thoughts on it. ![]() It has been amazing how God has used it to teach me in a time that has been difficult and very much needed. I am not sharing it because I think I can write it better than Chambers because I can’t, but mainly to describe what God has taught me through this powerful book. Even though I wrote it in a personal format, I am going to share with you my experiences. I have completely and thoroughly enjoyed this book by Chambers and see why it has stayed around so long. I am to examine that daily devotional and describe how it has affected me, what I learned and what applications I can take from it. After I read a daily passage, I am to write a single paragraph on what I learned about that particular day. ![]() One of my assignments for a spiritual life class I am in is to read the book “My Utmost for His Highest” by Oswald Chambers. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Testino’s pictures of Princess Charlotte’s christening – which also include a more formal group portrait with the Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, Charles and Camilla and more – in fact consciously hark back to older traditions on royal portraiture. If all royal families in history had been as sedulously flattered as ours is by Testino there would be no such works of art as Velazquez’s Las Meninas or Goya’s Family of Charles IV, in which royalty are revealed as mortal and fallible human beings. Time was that royalty employed actual artists, and royal portraits were more than PR exercises. Testino is a bland and banal photographer whose images lack any shred of emotional depth. He gives away the fact that, far from casually encountering Testino’s lens, the royalist antidotes to King Charles are in fact enduring the torture of a prolonged pose. ![]() George, you can tell, is bored and hating this.
