I picked the above up from church yesterday. It’s a simple sticker that says, “Beyond Your Selfie.” As I looked at it I thought…this should be everyone’s life motto. Take a moment and consider living in such a world. It would almost be heaven on earth. Mother Teresa is one who definitely lived beyond her “selfie.”…

Serenade to the Moon
I felt so fortunate to capture her, and her glory, as she gazed over our Shenandoah Valley. Just had to serenade with poem… The moon with all her glory and wonder, bathes us all, beneath and under. Her sky of dark and stars ablaze our blanket we cuddle till light of day. And then she bids us farewell…ado until the…
Co-Creators
Psalms 13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy, my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. Trust and rejoice…David’s choice of words for today. Trust and rejoice are active words.

Solitude
Above, my sketch, Solitude. Soon to be my next watercolor painting. The actual sketch of course is not so dark. I only darkened it here for better observation. (A participation in the Sketch-A-Day challenge)
Election 2016
Oh how fitting, this poem for Election 2016. Please help me, Lord! All who were faithful and all who were loyal have disappeared. Everyone tells lies, and no one is sincere. Won’t you chop off all flattering tongues that brag so loudly? They say to themselves, “We are great speakers. No one else has a…
More Than a Feeling
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalms 11:3 True faith is more than a feeling. Our feelings change but the foundation of our faith never changes. That’s not to say we can’t change our opinions, of course we can. I once believed drinking alcohol in any fashion was sin, but I no longer hold…
Finito!
Tuscany is finally Finito!
