The Science Of Sinning Less.

Self-control and science make for an interesting study and outcome. When does spirituality act on its own in the area of self-control, or does science have a part to play in it? Is there a need for us to be intentional about self-control, or do we just let nature takes its course and trust in God? What does it mean when Scripture informs us that self-control is part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit? Do our physiological state impact our self-control? Or, is self-control always consistently available and its power inexhaustible? Can self-control be habitually developed or is it a waste of time attempting it on a routine or regular basis? When and how does will power involves itself in our self-control? How does psychology’s understanding of self-control squares with Scripture, or does it? How does behaviours and thoughts figure in self-control? This article explores some of these interminable and other questions.

Geminids and Friends.
Image Credit & Copyright: Daniel López (El Cielo de Canarias). From a radiant in the constellation of the Twins, the annual Geminid meteor shower rained down this week. This skyscape collects about 70 of Gemini's lovely shooting stars in a digital composition made from multiple exposures taken over a six-hour period near the shower's peak on December 14 from Teide National Park on the Canary Island Tenerife. Though Gemini lies off the top left of the frame, the Milky Way sweeps through the starry background. Sharing the sky below and left of center are recognizable stars and nebulosities of Orion. A yellowish Aldebaran and the Hyades are toward the right along with the Pleiades star cluster. The faint green coma of Comet 46P Wirtanen, closest to Earth this weekend, lies below the Pleiades stars. Dust swept up from the orbit of active asteroid 3200 Phaethon, Gemini's meteors enter Earth's atmosphere traveling at about 35 kilometers per second.

Sunflowers (Tournesols) is the name of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, executed a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. In the artist's mind, both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin, who acquired two of the Paris versions. On March 30, 1987, Japanese insurance magnate, Yasuo Goto, paid the equivalent of US $39,921,750 for van Gogh's Still Life: Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers at auction at Christie's London. The painting currently resides at Seiji Togo Yasuda Memorial Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
