I understand why King David speaks in the Psalms of the length of our days being as hand breaths. They come and go so quickly, and just keep coming. Time just races on as we age, and life literally is like sand falling through an hour glass. It is finite, it will end, and itContinue reading “The Passage of Time”

In thee O Lord do I put my hope. Jesus paid it all. Our sin debt, the sins of the whole world fell on the Son of God! If our iniquities were to be measured, it would lead to utter despair. Jesus is the rock of hope this world needs. Our whole world is basedContinue reading “The Rock of Hope”

My latest art work is a departure from the sea scapes and nature scenes that have so charecterized my focus. I’ve been following abstract artists of skill and passion and it has awakened in me the curiosity to explore this style as it appeals to me so much. What I have found out is thatContinue reading “Following Freedom”

Loved with everlasting love, by grace that love to know; Spirit breathing from above, Thou hast taught me it is so! Oh, this full and perfect peace! Oh, this transport all divine!
