About Me

My photo
Artist’s statement: The nature of my work stems from photographing those things around me that I love the most. My family, my home, my garden, my dog. My intense love for color is the driving passion behind my work. I LOVE bright, vivid, bold, color. Color is God’s joyful expression of LIFE. To enjoy life in its fullness is to see the blue skies, the white clouds, the green grass. I believe that if we see clearly(that is, in His light), that we shall be able to ENJOY all the colors that surround us. Enjoying life means more than having things, but enjoying the things we have. Those things in our lives which bring the most joy are things not made by man but created by God.

COMFORT, COMFORT MY PEOPLE, SAYS YOUR GOD Isaiah 40:1

Be comforted my dear friend!
Store up comfort, this was the prophet Isaiah's mission. The world is full of hurting & comfortless hearts. But before you will be competent for this lofty ministry, you must be trained. And your training is extremely costly. For to make it complete, you too must endure the same afflictions that are wringing countless hearts of tears and blood. Consequently, your own life becomes the hospital ward where you are taught the divine schooling of COMFORT. You will be wounded so that in the binding up of your wounds by the Great Physician, you may learn how to render first aid to the wounded everywhere. Do you wonder why you are having to experience some great sorrow? You will find many others afflicted in the same way. You will tell them how you suffered & were comforted. As the story unfolds, God will apply the anesthetic He once used on you to them. You will come to know why you were afflicted. And you will bless God for the discipline that filled your life with such a TREASURE of experience & helpfulness.
GOD COMFORTS US NOT TO MAKE US COMFORTABLE
BUT TO MAKE US COMFORTERS!
