What I do all day

Is the first one too much? Does the difference between the two even stand out?

What kind of organization would you imagine this logo is for? Adjectives?

What I Do All Day

Missions Brainstorming

MIPC has a kick-ass missions department, and I've been brainstorming on a logo for them. Their biggest project is probably partnering with schools in poorer nations and providing tuition for students k-grad school.

What I do All Day

I've heard (second-hand) a complaint recently that I don't ever actually blog about Zera here. Which is true. And probably not likely to change very soon. However, I would like to keep posting screenshots of the sort of stuff I do at MIPC.

Illustration from work

Not my greatest design, or my greatest illustration, but some recent illustration, nonetheless.

Church

"Jesus did not call us to have church and church more abundantly"


-MIPC staff meeting, quoting an author I'm unfamiliar with (and don't remember the name of...)

Fat Tuesday

The prelude to Lent. This Thursday ("Fat Ash Thursday" for our community) ZERA will be feasting on lasagna as a nod to Fat Tuesday while honoring a personal story, before we turn towards ashes and readiness for Lent. Today is the day to use up the luxury food items (traditionally by making pancakes) while preparing to enter a season of solemness. Historically, this made sense as a last celebration of Winter food stores (that were about to go bad) and a bracing for the tough months ahead while anticipating the coming of Spring (and a fresh food supply). We paired our tough season with the reminder that Jesus faced tough seasons as well... including 40 days without any food.

Quote for the day: "I don't feel like I'm being invited into Lent, more like I'm tazered into it." (MIPC staff meeting)


WIKIPEDIA SAYS:
Fat Tuesday ("Mardi Gras" in the French) is the day before Ash Wednesday (the beginning of Lent), and is also called "Shrove Tuesday" or "Pancake Day".
...
The reason that pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent is that the 40 days of Lent form a period of liturgical fasting, during which only the plainest foodstuffs may be eaten. Therefore, rich ingredients such as eggs, milk, and sugar are disposed of immediately prior to the commencement of the fast. Pancakes and doughnuts were therefore an efficient way of using up these perishable goods, besides providing a minor celebratory feast prior to the fast itself.
...
The word shrove is a past tense of the English verb "shrive," which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by confessing and doing penance.
