Peace Which Transcends Understanding 11/8/11

Sometimes I find myself lacking motivation or inspiration to create.  Drawing is like exercise in that way: sometimes just getting started is the hardest part.  But, when I just start drawing, then the inspiration follows.  I feel refreshed.  For me, this is worship.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:6-7

Wipe Away Tears 11/2/11

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."  Revelation 21:4

Unchained 10/25/11

"I have been ungrateful,
I've been unwise.
Restless from the cradle,
Now I realize,
It's so hard to see the rainbow,
Through glasses dark as these.
Maybe I'll be able,
From now on, on my knees.

Oh, I am weak.
Oh, I know I am vain.
Take this weight from me,
Let my spirit be unchained."

"Unchained" by Johnny Cash

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

Poor 10/9/11

The Mountain 9/24/11

"They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow's case does not come before them... I will restore your judges as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning... In the last days the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it." Isaiah 1:23,26 and 2:2

Wake Up 9/15/11

Wing 9/6/11

 “I am unworthy—how can I reply to you?  I put my hand over my mouth.  I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.” Job 40:4-5


"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.  He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:1-4
