A parable of broken branches
We are like branches on a tree. And sin is like something that breaks the branches.
A branch can break from many things: maybe weight, or high wind, or freezing rain, or a creature gnawing through the branch. But, whatever the cause is, it still leads to the branch being disconnected from the tree.
The branch has no way of reconnecting itself. It can only lie there and die of thirst.
God is like a gardener, who carefully trims the branch and reattaches it to the tree, wrapping it so that it will not fall off again.
And faith is like the reattached branch reaching for the water in the tree.
If the branch reaches for the water, it will live, strengthen, and grow together with the tree.
But if the branch doesn't reach for the living water of the tree (no matter what the Gardener does for it), it will still suffer of thirst, wither, and die.

A try at learning animation - week one
I'm gonna try a kind'a self-study animation thing starting tomorrow; see how it goes (I'd kind'a like to do something similar for writing, too, but that's harder to figure out). Here is what I planned out for it, if anyone's interested and also want to try it: https://sta.sh/0lwe662dsow If you want to try it, upload the animations you do (like as gifs) and mention what you've learned and where, and link me so I can see what you've done. And I'll upload stuff, too (at least if things work out that way).It's based on the 12 principles of animation that are mentioned in the book "The Illusion of Life". So, there's about a week for each princ...
