It is art and art alone that can say what is truth.
[With art] you get beyond this barrier that normally you live within.
You can be the paint brush of society, but you can also make society your paintbrush.

Believing is art
Things everybody would say: Believing is hard. Believing is art. Things everybody should know: The end will come slow and love breaks your heart.

Ephesians 2: 7-10 (the Message)
Saving is all his idea and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it.
To Kingdom Come
Recently, I have been challenged in how I think about the talents that God has granted me with. Am I using these talents to help elevate others or am I too concerned with how I can improve myself and succeed? Would I be willing to trade my gift for a gift I wish I had if God gave me that choice? Am I allowing myself to be defined by what I can do, or by the Creator that made this all...

I'm not calling you a liar
Just don’t lie to me. I’m not calling you a thief, just don’t steal from me. I’m not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me. There’s a ghost in my mouth and it talks in my sleep, wraps itself around my tongue as it softly speaks, then it walks with my legs.

Christian-a-tize me Cap'n!
So, recently in a small group, we were discussing what thoughts came to mind at the words “Christian art” and what that meant to us, as artists and fellow followers of Christ. As I was thinking, cheesy images and the usual symbols immediately came to mind. “Christian art” just had a negative connotation to it, which seemed to be the case for others in the group. There was discussion about how...

Sheldon: I made tea.
Leonard: I don't want tea.
Sheldon: I didn't make tea for you. This is my tea.
Leonard: Then why are you telling me?
Sheldon: It's a conversation starter.
Leonard: That's a lousy conversation starter.
Sheldon: Oh, is it? We're conversing. Checkmate.

I'm not calling you a ghost
So, it’s early morning, or the middle of the night depending on how you look at it, yet again as it has recently become a trend this past month. I can’t seem to fall asleep, anxiety kicking in full force, stomach turning and mind racing. I think there is a combination of things that is causing this unrest. In a few short days I will be embarking on yet another semester, intimidated as...

today's laser tag experience
I don’t typically take part in activities such as laser tagging, most because they are expensive and I have no ability to aim what-so-ever, but today was my brother’s ninth birthday and he was having a party at Laser X, so I thought I might give it a try. As we were being given directions on how to play, the instructor asked if anyone was pregnant (note: I was the oldest one there, the...

Pick Up The Pieces
Broken, shattered, and torn lying on the floor
Rough and piercing to the touch
Try desperately to fit them back into place
Pieces don’t fit together quite right
Fumble with emotions and fears
Cut my hands on jagged edges
Scars begin to form
Hands shake with anger and frustration
Sit alone, surrounded by fragments of what used to be
A sea of distorted images, pictures unrecognizable
Emotion...
