We must be who we are

Skilled Workman Posted on October 13, 2024 by David BergslandOctober 13, 2024

We must be who we are in the midst of the assault. The barrage of lies tempts us, with its confusion, to give up and let someone else do the deed. Our focus must be on Truth. Truth is a person, the one who we accept as the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. Yeshua Messiah is Truth. He defined it when He created everything in this 3D universe. Jesus defined truth, beauty, love, holiness, … Continue reading →

The doctrinal warfare ends for good

Skilled Workman Posted on July 18, 2023 by David BergslandJuly 27, 2023

The doctrinal warfare ends for good. Good riddance, that is. It was necessary for a while. But now it increasingly inhibits the believer’s life. How can I possibly say that? Because it has changed from a necessity to a blockage. The doctrinal warfare ends for good, no longer needed Churchians cannot even imagine the freedom of following the Lord more directly. Doctrines brought the church into feudalism. Armed fortresses with doctrines forming the outer defensive walls. The … Continue reading →

There is no death …

Skilled Workman Posted on January 28, 2023 by David BergslandJuly 26, 2024

There is no death … there is only a time when your choice has been made—heaven or hell. You need to make that part of your decision-making process. That time could come now—or it might be a year or two—probably not much longer than that. It really is that black and white. This present life we are living in the training place of mankind, where you get to choose where you will end up, is almost concluded. … Continue reading →

A prayer for a blessed Christmas 2021

Skilled Workman Posted on December 24, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 24, 2021

A prayer for a blessed Christmas 2021 is complex. For those of you in the Bride of the Messiah, it’s an exciting time. You can click on the image to the left for a pay whatever you like—if anything— link to a PDF and/or ePUB of a short booklet. It’s exciting as we live in Bible times. This time is as major as the first time Yeshua came to earth in the flesh. As far as momentous … Continue reading →

Araldo is a headline font with spunk

Skilled Workman Posted on December 7, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 11, 2021

Araldo is a headline font with spunk for today. I needed something with a little life for my new book production group: Biblia Serif, Dreatha, and now Araldo. This new font family is doing well for me. Biblia Serif and Draetha are both excellent book production font families. In other words, they are not memorable. In fact, if they do their job well, you don’t even notice them. But as I mention in the flyer to the … Continue reading →

Leading-Trim destroying traditional typography

Skilled Workman Posted on August 21, 2020 by David BergslandAugust 21, 2020

Leading-Trim destroying traditional typography seems a strange way to start an article on typography. But for the sake of Web developers, who are commonly typographic illiterates, they are toying with changing the historic basis of paragraph spacing, and all line spacing. What set me off is an article I read this morning in Medium, a magazine with which I was unfamiliar. The head and subhead are: Leading-Trim: The Future of Digital Typesetting How an emerging CSS standard … Continue reading →

Some free font design resources

Skilled Workman Posted on March 9, 2020 by David BergslandMarch 9, 2020

This is just a quick note about some free font design resources which provide good typographic knowledge. I’m mentioning this because a large portion of my readers don’t come out of a professional graphic design or typographic background. These things are often not known by authors whose background is mostly found in Office and free design apps. The longer you work in page layout, the more important fonts and font design become for many if not most … Continue reading →

Old Hermann Zapf film from 1967

Skilled Workman Posted on January 13, 2018 by David BergslandJanuary 14, 2018

Today I ran across this Old Hermann Zapf film [look at the end of the post]. It’s an old film, 1967. But, it starts out with Hermann freehanding large caps with chalk on a chalkboard. It’s breathtaking. The letters look remarkably like what we finally see in Zapfino. It was produced by Hallmark during a visit Mr. Zapf made there. Here’s a quote from an article on Linotype where they have a lot more info: Hermann’s account of … Continue reading →
