I love the way "The Message Bible" translates certain scriptures. It makes them simple. Gotta love that. This is one that strikes my fancy.

I was listening to this song the other day, and it made me wonder what kind of experiences led to it being written.

There are so many dragonflies around my barn this summer. They come and sit on the edge of my workshop bench while I'm prepping wood. They don't even startle when I walk by anymore. I guess you could say they are tame. It is amazing. It makes me feel a teensy bit like St. Francis. And since I believe that the Lord can choose to speak to us through animals, I Googled dragonflies. They mean wisdom, vision, and change.

It reminds me of the time that my friend Janice and I rented horses in the Tennesee mountains. When trail ride was over, Janice remarked about the yellow butterflies that were following my horse, Anne, and me throughout the whole trail ride. I had noticed, but I didn't think anyone else had. It was a magical day.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.

My shows went well last weekend, and I'm looking forward to this weekend. The beautiful weather is inspiring me to paint a few landscapes. We'll see what happens in the next few days.

My profession is to always find God in nature.
