JEREMIAH S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 31

Tuesday, 7/2/24

SCRIPTURE:

“Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days” — the Lord ’s declaration.  “I will put my teaching within them and write it on their hearts.  "I will be their God, and they will be My people.  "No longer will one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them” — this is the Lord ’s declaration. “For I will forgive their iniquity and never again remember their sin." ~ Jeremiah 31:33-34

OBSERVATION:

He will - has - continues to - forgive my iniquity...

He never remembers my sin...

...because Jesus... 

APPLICATION:

Keep His teaching in my heart...

Know Him as He reveals Himself...

Verse 14: be satisfied with His goodness

Verse 16: Keep my voice from weeping and my eyes from tears - in other words, rejoice and celebrate His goodness and grace!

Verse 21:

Set up road markers!

Establish signposts! 

Keep the highway - the way I have traveled - in mind!

Return!

PRAYER:

Forgiving Heavenly Father - may I keep Your teaching and revelations in my heart, and share them with those in my life, being satisfied with Your goodness and not following the distractions and desires of my selfishness... Thank You for Jesus Who allows me to come before You in celebration and worship, and may Your Holy Spirit continue to guide and correct and lead me always to Your will over my own... In Jesus's Name, and for Your glory and praise in all things, always...

As always, y'all's always, in all ways - because Jesus!

Fifty Shades of Yellow

From the realm of things you never gave a second thought to because they’re all supposed to be the same, I just learned that the center stripes on roads are actually painted in a different shade of yellow for every state. You’d think that something as safety-critical as road markings ought to be standardized so that people don’t get confused upon crossing state lines, and … well, there is a standard, but it has enough latitude to allow each state to choose their own special tint. Why? Because America, that’s why. Freedom!

Read on for color nerdery (and very possibly talking out of my ass, because color is hard).

Anyway, the color is 33538 from FED-STD-595, where it’s defined with a set of coordinate values in the CIE 1931 (a.k.a. CIE XYZ) color space. More than just a federal standard, this color is also subject to international agreements, so it’s sometimes called “international traffic yellow.”

Seems pretty straightforward, right? The Feds tell you the color, you go use the color. But here’s the problem: FED-STD-595 only defines the color, not the medium with which it will be applied in the real world. For that, there are paint specifications. Of the three I’ve found (TT-P-15, TT-P-1952, and A-A-2886, though there are probably more), each allows a deviation of up to 6.0 units ΔE (Delta E) from FED-STD-595.

Del-whaa??? Oh, back up, let me explain. ΔE is a way to quantify color differences, and it’s measured on a scale from 0 (exact same color) to 100 (exact opposite colors). A ΔE of 1 or less means the color difference is considered imperceptible to the human eye. Values between 2 and 10 mean the colors are close, but perceptibly different (side-by-side, is my guess).

Without getting too far into the weeds, I’ll also mention that ΔE is measured in the CIELAB color space, not CIE XYZ. CIELAB is derived from CIE XYZ, but it’s easier to interpret. Values can be converted directly between CIE XYZ and CIELAB, so it’s a useful space to work in.

While ΔE quantifies color differences, it doesn’t indicate the direction of that difference. So if my interpretation is correct, this means the paint standards allow a total variance of 12 units ΔE, centered on 33538 yellow. That leaves a lot of room for each state to pick its own favorite shade and still fall within the guidelines.

Finally finished the 3rd entry in my series of drawing all No Straight Roads bosses. There was a first draft of this that I scrapped, then I started over, and then I spent forever getting the shadow puppet right... In short, the skill ceiling to make this one was about as disproportionate as DK West's boss fights are in the game. Lore-accurate and immersive art project.

Y’all we’ve been spoiled, BUT-

Despite all the wonderful posters we got for this season, I think the very first still has to be my favorite. It’s just so right. This was how we heard Good Omens would return, and seeing it really felt like seeing your house at the end of the street after a long trip.

And it’s not just cause it was the announcement, everything about it has those vibes! It parallels the season 1 poster above with Heaven and hell warring in the sky, fish raining down, and Aziraphale and Crowley stuck in the middle.

Now they’re together, under perfectly normal rain from a beautiful starry sky, looking towards the warm light of the bookshop and Aziraphale’s home. There’s something so… loving about it. The relaxed postures leaning into each other, the contrast of the cool night and the warm shop windows, that tartan umbrella, it’s so peaceful that I’ve had no damn peace over it for a whole year.
