PLEASE STAND UP!

 

"UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND"

 

 

 

PLEASE STAND UP!

 

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I ASK YOU TO STRAIGHTEN YOURSELF UP AND STAND UP.

 

I'M BEGGING YOU TO TURN YOURSELF OVER

AND

STAND UP!

 

YOU CAN'T STAY CAPSIZED, FLOATING IN NEVER NEVER LAND FOREVER!

 

YOU ARE CURRENTLY UPSIDE DOWN AND YOU

 

MUST

STAND UP!

 

STAND UP

TAKE ONE STEP FORWARD

AND FOR SURE OPEN YOUR EYES

AND YOU'LL SEE THAT

NEGATIVE PEOPLE

NEGATIVE POLITICS

NEGATIVE PERSONAL POINTS OF VIEW

CANNOT AND WILL NOT ALTER THE JOY THAT YOU

EXPERIENCE EACH DAY THAT YOU ARE ALIVE

AND ON THIS EARTH.

 

PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A CREATOR LOOKING DOWN AT YOU

WHO IS OBSERVING YOUR LIFE AND THOUGHTS

 

HE ONLY HAS ONE DESIRE

THAT YOU LOVE HIM

AND

FOLLOW HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART.

 

YES, JESUS IS THE WAY

AND THE ONLY WAY.

SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS TO ANXIETY, FEAR, EMPTYNESS...?

 

UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND

 

 

 

ANXIETY

BROKENNESS

CONFUSION

DEATH

EMPTINESS

GUILT

ILLNESS

SHAME

ETC.

 

HOW MANY TIMES WOULD I HAVE LOVED

FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHERE TO GO

WHEN I FELT

FEARFUL,

EMPTY,

AND

 CONFUSED ABOUT MY EXISTENCE.

 

I EVEN USED TO GET ANGRY AT THE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE

I WOULD ASK MYSELF

WHERE ARE THESE SO CALLED CHRISTIANS?

WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING ME WHEN I NEED THEM...

AND

THEN I WOULD CALL THEM HYPOCRITES!

 

THESE ARE HARSH WORDS FROM ME NOW.

I FOUND MY TRUE LOVE FOR JESUS

AND

I NO LONGER FEEL EMPTY AT ALL.

 

I FOUND AN EXCELLENT SITE THAT WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THE PAINTING "UPSIDE DOWN AND ALL AROUND" IS HOW I FELT MANY MANY YEARS AGO UNTIL...

 

I FOUND OUT THAT JESUS LOVED ME

 

I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT NEED TO DO GOOD WORKS TO GET TO HEAVEN

 

I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT EVOLVE FROM A MONKEY (frankly I never believed that)

 

I FOUND OUT THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO BE REINCARNATED AGAIN (this I believed)

 

I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THAT I WAS MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE

 

I FOUND OUT THAT IN ORDER TO BE SAVED I SIMPLY HAD TO ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE ME FOR

 

ALL OF MY SINS,

 

AND

 

BELIEVE

 

THAT HE WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY,

 

DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME SO THAT I COULD BE FORGIVEN,

 

AND BELIEVE THAT HE ROSE ON THE THIRD DAY.

Remember the time...?

Home Sweet Home
6-5/8 x 8-1/2"


Remember the time when it was a make-believe world?

Remember when we actually thought that we had freedom?

Remember the time when we would wake up to a sunny day and only wonder what we were going to eat for dinner?

Remember when we would run out of the house in our shorts
and
carelessly go and skate or play with our neighbors?

Remember the time when the most that the nation cared about was reporting about the sassy American tourists abroad?

Do you remember when you could actually say

HOME SWEET HOME?

SMILE, IT'S A NEW DAY!

SUNNY ARIZONA...

 

 

HOW LONG WILL IT BE?

6"X 6"

 

 

It's almost time to move back to my native State, Arizona.

It has been too long since I've been gone.

EIGHT YEARS BRAVING THE SNOW, TORNADOES AND EXPERIENCING TOO MUCH RAIN.

Miss you Arizona,

but

I'll be there soon. 

What a pleasure to wake up in the morning to your shininess,

to your surrounding Saguaros,

to your lizards running all around,

to  your jackrabbits that are absolutely outlandish!

I've never seen bunnys with such big ears.

(What's up doc?)

I'll wake up to the clear and blue sun almost all year round...

I'll be able to view the hairless/treeless mountains (love it)

Yes, I'm a desert rat!

Wait for me Arizona - I'm almost there!

THE MARTYRS

THE MARTYRS

So much suffering endured throughout the ages

 The Martyrs lacked the necessary freedom to believe in God

They lacked the freedom to express themselves

They didn't care about government law

They only cared about dying for their one and only true Savior,

Jesus Christ.

It is heartbreaking to have painted this canvas.

There was a tear with every brush stroke

Tears in honor of

THE MARTYRS

HAPPY LOVE BUG DAY EVERYONE!

Hi everyone! So happy to be back after the hectic holidays...

This post is a great one to start the new year.

Lets all gather together and make this year the most wonderful 2009.

We can start by cleaning up our spiritual and physical selves.

We can start by asserting ourselves in whatever aspect we are

weak.

We can start by claiming that we will all become stronger

spiritually,

and

that we will stand tall no matter what happens in our lives.

Yes, this is what these two little fellas in this painting are

NOT doing!

They are simply blending in with their world.

They are too frightened to assert themselves!

Fear is our worst enemy.

Soooooo

lets leave these little soft and mushy fellas behind

and

ASSERT ourselves for 2009!

Our dreams can come true!

A VERY SPECIAL TRIO

A VERY SPECIAL TRIO
10"x8"

I want to introduce Ann (left), Carol (middle) and Margaret to the right. These ladies are the most incredible quilters. Maybe I should call them MASTER QUILTERS. This title suits them better.

Yes, like I said in my last post, every Thursday morning @ 9a.m. I make my way over to the Lutheran church, and I always find the most beautiful ladies quilting away. They will quilt a complete bedspread for anyone, charge a minimal amount, and then donate it to a family or person in need. Talk about back braking work!

It was always my dream to live in Lancaster, PA because I wanted to live near the Amish, and I wanted to learn how to quilt. Well, my dream came true, and now you can find me in a wonderful little town near Lancaster. I met these incredible quilters, and they are so kind to be teaching me, so for Christmas I decided to give them a painting! This little jewel is the result. I think it's very special because it's meant for A VERY SPECIAL TRIO!

Hope you enjoy it.

P.S. Shhhhhhh don't tell the ladies.....it's supposed to be a surprise! :)

I just want you to pause for a few seconds and just contemplate the serenity of this painting.

I thought that it would be good to change my format for this one post,

because I understand that we are going through troubled times,

and that it's not easy to get past tomorrow...

The only comment about the election is that I ask that we all stay united!

Lets not let this election divide us as a nation...

We are ONE NATION

Lets treat each other with love and respect...

Now lets go out and vote!

I wish you the best.
