My home
Today’s art is about one of the things I cherish most: our home. This is the longest place I’ve ever lived. When I pull up to it, I find myself smiling and full of joy. I painted this while all my kids and my hubby were away. The home is empty of them but full […]

At the cross.
Great worship song lyrics. I mistakingly wrote blood instead of love, but isn’t one an indication of the other? I am walking through a dark valley right now and would appreciate your prayers. But I am so grateful for Jesus who suffered, died and rose again. It reminds me that darkness is temporary, and new […]

I saw Jesus at church
He caught my eye in a flash, and then I couldn’t stop staring at the man at least a hundred feet away (we attend a large church). Bearded (which is normal these days) and alone, he stood when we stood, sat when we sat. I wondered. What if Jesus stopped into our churches, sat in […]

Sing away the dark
Today’s lent-art represents a real struggle to find joy when difficulties darken my perspective. It’s when I sing that the light gets a word in edgewise. (Aside: I see so many imperfections in my pieces. It’s hard to share them, as I realize my novice stature as an artist. But I’m learning imperfection is beautiful […]

A girl never outgrows her need for a daddy
As far as I can find, this is the last picture I have of my father and me. Not too long after, he died. He left a gaping hole, one I tried in vain to fill with friends, success, and being a good little girl. When I was at my most desperate at fifteen years […]

The Artsy Lent Adventure
Today I’m starting an adventure. I’m not taking away from my life this lenten season, I’m adding to it. I’ve felt the siren call to art my whole life. I gravitate toward design, dabble in photography, and have what can only be called an obsessive relationship with fonts. But I seldom allow myself to create […]

43 – We Work Hard for No Money
Today’s podcast is about work, productivity, God’s sovereignty over all, and what happens when we become entitled. Scripture: Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich. Proverbs 10:4 A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense. Proverbs 12:11 Work hard and become a leader; be lazy […]

All you Mamas, here’s some love (and grace)
They say a mama’s heart expands with each child, and I agree. Except that it’s very hard to determine when a heart nears failure. When can we discern when we’re loving too much, too little? How can I carry three children and their life-baggage to the pearly gates without fainting? We are told to bear […]
