Freedom
Driving one night, I saw a sign on a building that said Freedom Clinic. It was a handwritten sign, posted on a barred up run-down building. Caught my attention, and I could not believe my eyes. Didn;t look like freedom at all to me... looked like a prison.... and I vowed to come back and take a photo because I did not have my camera with me then.
But how important is taking pictures of oddities like that? Not very, uunless of course you are making it a hobby or something like that.... anyhow, I forgot, until I started this new hobby... and we were driving past. I made it a point to get a photo of that place.
It has a new sign now , "Patriot Clinic." The Freedom Clinic one had more UMPH!
The home made signs for this place were, and are amazing. Even this photo has an open sign, (hand writtens...It read, Now Open." but they are, at the time of this photo, closed.
I understand the bars... it is a clinic and there are lawbreakers around, but the visual of it all was just ironic...
The Patriot Clinic... is now what teh sign reads instead. Just the same, I do not thinnk that this is exactly the kind of freedom our founding Father's had in mind when they established the United States of America.....
FREEDOM...
I now have two in my curious collection!
Seriously.. this is not what freedom is meant to look like. It looks like this when you live in a society that rejects the laws of God, one where people will steal and harm others for their own personal gain.
Not a high tech clinic here, not very large... maybe the last vestige of true freedom left...
You know,
making your own signs... one person helping another out of sheer goodwill, expecting nothing in return. Bortherly love. Love of fellow man and country...some call it patriotism.
We can still see the bars on the windows ....still visible, not invisble... use to be indivisable... but now some are outside looking in and some are inside looking out....
Wondering what exactly happened to create a wall.
Bars.... lines of separation....
not stealth electronic surveillance, satellite security systems.... where once they hung but stars.
What a different world we would live in if we could just do what is right,
be sorry for our sin, and love .... love even the perfect laws of God. But we through them out of schools and courtrooms, tamble them underneath our feet and instead,we put up walls and barriers... thinking we are free....
How dumb!

A New Hobby... First of the Collection
I have a new hobby, one more hobby to my list of many. My new hobby is taking pictures of signs.
But not just any signs. The criteria for a photo is that I must find it unusual or amusing or it must have some meaning for the signs of the times that we live in.
Here is the story behind the first one in my collection.
Painted on a an old run down building in one of the poorest parts of our city, Hillyard, it is a black and white piece of two men, one black, one white.... painted on an old run down factory looking type of building... Maybe a warehouse. You can see it from Market St. I was impressed that graffittiers finally put up something that looked like real art, and vowed to photograph it; but not soon enough....apparently, for eventually... (sometime into the election of the one that won the presidency,) someone graffittied on the artwork. I assume it wasn't the person who put the artwork up, but who knows? I would love to have a before and after snap shot of it, but all I have now is an "after"....
Passing by it at least a hundred times more since it was graffittied, always vowing to take the photo... I finally did, and thus began my new hobby of documenting the Signs of My Times... and other Curious Oddities.
Here is the first of my collection:
Look past the graffitti and appreciate the art.
Now when you are done with that, we can talk about the graffitti....
