Someone might respond with, “The word of the Lord lasts forever” (1 Peter 1:25). But we all know that’s not talking about the bible. It’s talking about what is True. What is Reality. That-Which-We-Call-God doesn’t have a favorite translation, doesn’t use the red-letter edition, doesn’t read it every day or any day. That-Which-We-Call-God doesn’t have a bible. Which is why in the cartoon God is laughing his head off, along with all kinds of other reasons. Purchase my art, including... Read more
In the shadow of the cross, where we all are, a lot of what we do really doesn’t make sense. Does it? Read more

I’ve also seen people make a conscious decision to turn left. I’ve done it. It cost me. It... Read more
(This painting is available. CLICK HERE.) Night can be a scary place to be. Darkness is rarely welcomed. But I have seen some of the most amazing things at night. The crystal stars. And a few times, the northern lights. Majestic trees silhouetted against a brilliant sky. Each one singularly beautiful. Now, in darkness, I look for such things. Read more
From Picasso to Sir Ken Robinson, including my own and my possibly your observations with our own children going through school, it is believed that our educational methods have ways of killing creativity in kids.

The mind is quick to latch on to easy answers, quick solutions, clear and reliable facts.
