None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives." Jane Austen, Persuasion The Finger Lake Region of NY is one of our favorite vacation spots. This was taken 9 years ago and it seems like yesterday. I wish you calm and beauty in your life today.  Joshua 24:15  "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land y

My sobs lessened and I began to calm myself, leaning tiredly into the the curve of his shoulder. No wonder he was so good with horses, I thought blearily, feeling his fingers rubbing gently behind my ears, listening to the soothing, incomprehensible speech. If I were a horse, I'd let him ride me anywhere." Diana Gabaldon, Outlander Photo taken in Sept 2010 Saugerties, New

Jeannette Walls, Half Broke Horses God is the great creator. His sunrises and sunsets go beyond our comprehension.  He puts forth so much effort in our mornings... yet how many of us go out to watch the sunrise?  (It was much easier at the lake than living in the neighborhood where we are now.)  Then at night he tucks us in under his wings for our rest and sleep with a beautiful good night to the day. Isaiah 9:2 "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of de

I should have never even tried the other two, but I did and they exist. You cannot duplicate another painting like this. Not possible.  Different time, different situation, different energy... everything is different. I found online from Psychology Today, "We are driven to be seen as who we truly are, yet authenticity takes courag

Franco Santoro How do you get back to being genuine and 'You'?  Can you remember what you love to do? Then go and do it. Things will flow easily in your life if you are fully engaged in the moment and love what you are doing.  We

We seem to learn this early in life.  As a teacher, I remember instructing children to go into pretend mode to do creative writing.  Somewhere this seems to go wrong in our lives and pretense and pretend creep into our lives as adults.  We can pretend to be anything we want to be, but we can't be anyone we want to be. You can only be yourself. At least that is the

For me right now it is the wolf on the far right.  I thought it would be the one on the left...but I am still debating. What are your thoughts? Isaiah 33:15

L. Lafevers, Grave Mercy I actually did a few videos at this point but having to deal with music in the background have to be careful what I post online. Copyright is not a laughing matter!  More rising personalities as the wolf on the left begins to solidly establish who he is. I am going to have to stop posting so many images now as this has stretched out over more than two weeks.  Will try and wrap it up, but I have a long way to go on the painting!.
