One - Architecture & DesignTomáš Libertiny: the designer behind the bees“Function is a potential, all objects can be something, It’s a choice!”. And it is indeed a choice to work with an unusual “team” of co-workers; the bee colonies that have been living on the roof of the Kunsthal. He drew his inspiration from the The Karamazov Brothers, (the final novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky) which represents a kind of shadow or anti-novel where two visions - one existential and tragic, the other christian and comic are unequally balanced trapped in between the hero and anti-hero philosophical cage. They have been “invited” to collaborate with Tomáš Libertíny on rea...2021-02-2238 minThe Connie Giordano ShowMake Your House In The Rock"The Christian race is easy when the runners are strong and the course is smooth.

Fredrich Miconius said - "Christ liveth, and reigneth, otherwise I should be utterly out of hope." "The Living God" was the most glorious and distinctive of all the names of God.

As a result, Christian character is suffering. The present-day Church is not where she should be - spiritually speaking! And, it is all due to a lack of meditation on God's Word!2019-06-2118 min

Are you walking securely on an even, smooth, level, plain ground or are you like one walking on slippery places - likened to ice or polished marble? Or are you like the lame man walking haltingly because there is an unevennness or malformity in your Christian gait - an incongruity between your words and actions?
