How to Choose the Perfect Piece of Jewelry to Engrave
The art of engravable jewelry has been around for centuries and is used to create beautiful jewelry pieces. When choosing a piece of jewelry to engrave, it is essential to consider what the engraving will say and what type of jewelry it will be engraved on. If the engraving is for a gift, think about the person receiving it and their personality. If the engraving is for yourself, think about what you would like to wear every day. A short phrase, a date, or a special saying can all be added to make your jewelry extra special.
Some things to keep in mind when considering an engraving:
The font: There are many different fonts to choose from when selecting an engraving style. Consider which font would be most appropriate for the message you want to communicate. Serif fonts are typically used for body text, while sans serif fonts are often used for headings or titles. Script fonts can give a more romantic or antique feel, while block letters provide a more modern look.
The placement: The placement of an engraving can affect its impact. For example, if you want someone’s name to be front and center on a necklace or ring, choosing a larger piece of jewelry might be best so that there is enough room to fit all of the letters in comfortably. Conversely, if you want an intricate design placed discreetly somewhere on a piece of jewelry, a smaller item might work better.
The material that your jewelry is made out of can also play into your decision-making when choosing an engraving. You can choose from many materials, including sterling silver, 18k gold vermeil, 14k gold, and even stones.
Ideas for Inspiration
There are limitless possibilities when it comes to finding inspiration for engraving jewelry. There are many ways to get inspired to engrave jewelry. One way is to look online at other people’s work for inspiration. Many websites and galleries showcase engraved jewelry, and looking through these can give you ideas for your work.
Another way to find inspiration when engraving jewelry is to look at nature; there are so many beautiful and unique elements in nature that can be used as inspiration. For example, you could use a statement piece like a butterfly or a long pendant as the basis for your design. Or you could choose to incorporate a natural element such as a stone into your piece.
Symbolic engravings can be a great way to represent something important to you. For example, a heart might symbolize love, a cross might symbolize faith, or a knot might symbolize unity. If you’re looking for a personal message, you can have just about anything engraved on your jewelry. A short phrase, a date, or a special saying can all be added to make your jewelry extra special. No matter what type of engraved jewelry you choose, it will be a cherished and unique gift for any occasion.Most shared host use
public_html instead of
public,
While sometimes considered bad practice, some client may force you to drop-in everything via FTP
There are several ways to change public folder name found on Google.
But most of them won’t work perfectly.
- In AppServiceProvider.php, bind ‘path.public’ to IoC container
Won’t work in console, vendor:publish still publish in public path
- In index.php, bind ‘path.public’ to IoC container
Works in console, but
artisan servestill won’t work
After dig down deep in the source code, I found the cause:
The
publicPath() method in
Illuminate\Foundation\Application is hardcoded.
public function publicPath() { return $this->basePath.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'public'; }
But we should never hard the core, so let’s override this method on our own class.
1. Create
app/Application.php
<?php namespace App; class Application extends \Illuminate\Foundation\Application { public function publicPath() { return $this->basePath. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'public_html'; } }
2. Edit
bootstrap/app.php, change:
$app = new Illuminate\Foundation\Application( realpath(__DIR__.'/../') );
to
$app = new App\Application( realpath(__DIR__.'/../') );

Of all the mistakes I’ve made in ministry, I believe one of the most damaging is that of not being purposeful about rest. Rest is far more than a lack of activity, just as peace is far more than a lack of apparent conflict.
Lack of purposeful rest drives me certain directions I dare not go–if I am wise. Lack of purposeful rest points me down the path of disobedience, cauterizing my heart making it scarred, hardened, and senseless. Lack of purposeful rest all to often is driven by a dysfunctional narcissism, a desire to be at the center of things, of somehow having the satisfaction of having accomplished something according to my work. Just as Eve was deceived when the serpent contradicted to clear words of God regarding eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, so too many of us are deceived by the notion that we will be “successful” in the Kingdom if we just work a little harder, put in more hours, get involved in everything, never let anything go by the wayside, never let it be said that we weren’t there.
I must strive to rest a godly rest–walking by faith, hearing and responding to his voice, remaining tender and obedient, resting from my work so that His work can be made complete in me. I must follow the example of Jesus.
We frequently read of Jesus that he “went to a lonely place to pray” or “he took his disciples aside to rest.” He was purposeful about getting away, having uninterrupted seasons of prayer, of communing with His Father. He chose to rest when he could have been using that time to heal the sick, teach the ignorant, or proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven.
Part of our rest, friends, is that quiet worship where we voluntarily open ourselves to God and allow His word to penetrate, rearrange, and heal. We must be in His word and we must be in a receptive spiritual posture to find rest. All else is a frenetic chasing after the wind, trying to prove something to ourselves or others. All else hardens our hearts, tempting us to place our faith in ourselves and our work rather than in our heavenly Father.
Notice the role the Word of God has in providing genuine, life-transforming rest? I believe that part of the call has given Angela and me to return to Papua New Guinea is to be a catalyst for the heart transformation of many Somau Garia speaking people. Without the Word in their heart language, the possibility of that dwindles. Bible translation aids transformation.
Would you pray with us that I and Angela will learn to rest purposefully and properly? Would you pray with us that we will rest well with a view toward serving well that many Somau Garia will be transformed by the life-giving Word of God? Will you add provision to those prayers and partner with Pioneer Bible Translators in sending us out to Papua New Guinea to finish what was started? Click here to join us in praying.

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you and give you peace.
It has been a full week since last posting in Please Pray. Yesterday, our oldest daughter, Abigail, turned 16 years old. (How is this possible?) Also yesterday Angela, Josie, and I got up early and drove to Tampa to pick up Samuel, who rode down from Missouri with a friend for Christmas break. For the first time in several months all of our kids slept under one roof (their mother was very happy). And as I read our prayer requests from December 10, I understand my restlessness in the middle of the night last night, and the things that God brought to mind in those quiet hours of early morning.
During this season (40 Days to Getting the Word Out, concluding on New Year’s Eve, 2013) we have been asking you to pray for many, many things. Our idea was to recruit 40 new monthly financial partners, 40 new prayer partners, and 40 one-time donors to help provide for one time expenses. The results have been lackluster, but not without merit.
First, we have seen several new prayer partners join the team. This is important and foundational to transformational ministry. We have added a few financial partners, which is also encouraging. One of the profoundly impactful results, though, stems from prayers offered in response to the requests given last Tuesday, December 10.
This week our heavenly Father has dealt very graciously with us in answering these prayers. At the foundational level, the diabolical kingdom has sought to remove us from the battle by means of deception, discouragement, and diversion from the goal at hand. We have experienced a lot of victory these week on all fronts, being equipped and
