The Painting: Just back here from my NY show, this beauty has been featured in Western Art Collector in an ad and write up last year. She is ready for a new home. HEAVY palette knife dominates the exterior feel of this composition while strong color contrast builds the energy.
The Thought: Sometimes I feel overcrowded by life. Between the responsibilities and the personalities and the compounding of work and home life, the hours are not enough and something always suffers.
I believe when we arrive at this point we are open to attack from all sides. Evil creeps in when you least expect it during your day and often you react in a human fashion lashing out instead of walking with Him.
God wants us to always be considerate of others and their feelings, even over our own. It is when we lose control that we lose. Be wise today and be prepared to turn to Him and not to anger. Forgive those that do come to battle you and speak back with kind words. I have failed at this and you will too, but we can keep trying.

"My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires." James 1:19-20
"Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy; it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking; it is not easily angered and it keeps no records of wrong." 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
