Time to Look Up

Time To Look Up We all fall, we all make mistakes. We all know what it’s like to feel our heads hang. That is how we learn. It is part of the plan. But more important is what we do after. It is a choice. Do we let our heads hang or do we look…

Building Bridges

This painting is titled Building Bridges. It is a representation of the efforts of genealogy and family history work.

Angela’s Chakra Painting

Angela’s Chakra Painting. I was talking to my friend about chakras. She was telling me how she sees chakras differently than just a line. That it’s a beautiful collection of swirls all radiating outward spreading and reaching. It was such a beautiful image that I asked her if I could paint it! This is what…

Be still

Be Still, God does not give us a challenge and then says, “Okay, good luck, see you on the other side.” He is with us every step of the way. He asks us to be still and know that he is God. “The original Hebrew root of Be Still doesn’t mean “be quiet”; it means…

60 to snow!

Spring is here! I get super excited for spring because everything feels fresh and new. That and it means summer is almost here! As soon as the snow ❄️ is gone I jump right into summer mode (the tramp does go up at about this time if we want to be literal)! No jackets outside,…

Unfolded laundry is not life threatening
