Then I took one more chance. I didn't want to repaint the garden of color that had grown around her, so I rolled a transparent veil across portions of the canvas with a brayer. What was underneath remained. Some marks were easy to see. Others became quieter. Some nearly disappeared. And suddenly I realized how much that resembles us. We are layer upon layer, generation upon generation. The woman who emerged on my canvas no longer looked exactly like the woman in the old photograph where I began. Her face changed.

Follow the photograph.    My heart kept saying, COLOR. I didn't want to bur...

James 1:26 " Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless."   This verse is a great reminder of watching what we say and do, including those that claim to be a faith filled person.  It is easy to judge other people, but it is simply not our job to be a judge of others.

There are others who need your help. There are feet to steady, hands to grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save.” — THOMAS S. MONSON A man leaving and retiring from his job is HARSH. Terry was not ready to retire from American Airlines.  He was only 58 but really sick with pneumonia and had missed many months of work.   Once we got moved, he walked twice to three times daily at the lake.  Sunrise with the deer running by us, Sunset with birds flying around settling for the night and at least one other time during the day.  READ MORE HERE. “Enter through the narrow gate.
