As a child i loved to go out and play in the rain. There is just something about being cleansed and refreshed by the water as it cascades over you. Dancin’ in the rain is a reminder to me what it was like when I gave my life to Jesus as His forgiveness washed over me reminding me how much it feels to be truly loved.
I used to love creating paintings using chalk pastels. I got away from it for a while I don’t know why. Recently I go the urge to start toying with the medium again. this is one of my first drawings. i hope you enjoy Warm Summer Thoughts.
I have been laid up the last week with the flu, super cold, whatever it was and a hard time getting up the energy to draw. So for today my entry is nothing more than a scribble drawing of a cardinal. I filled it in a little with color pencil. I hope you like it. I know it turned out better than I thought it would.
Often there are many wonders right behind the curtain. The problem is we fail to move the curtain back to see what awaits us there. Don’t waste your life, put your trust in God and pull back the curtain.
A little drawing I did of a squirrel looking for food. It is inspired by the squirrels I see eating out of my bird feeders. Hope to have more drawings soon. Right now I am recouping from whatever is going around.
In the Bible there is a parable about a woman who loses a coin. The woman then spends time seeking the coin and when she finds it she rejoices. The parable shows God’s love for us. The lost coin I believe represents a sinner who then comes to a saving faith in Jesus. I also think it opens up to us a look into our lives and what we see as important. Many times we seek after earthly treasures and when we get them we rejoice but we spend very little time seeking after the One true God. What we need to do is switch our priorities.
The animal shelters are full of animals waiting to be adopted. Many of these animals are pets no longer wanted or animals from homes where they were not cared for properly. Having a pet is both a commitment and a relationship. As we all know a relationship takes work. So before you commit to a pet think about what you’re getting into before you bring the animal home. That cute little puppy or kitten will one day be a full grown dog or cat requiring a lot of your time.
Every so often I like to revisit a piece of art I’ve done before and change it in some way. I added more color to this drawing using water colors and color pencil. I also used a fixatif spray in order to brighten the colors. I hope you like the new version.

I offer to you another drawing of flowers. These are part of a field of bright orange flowers. I think as Christians we are like this field of bright orange flowers. We need to shine forth the love of Jesus to others. So I hope on this Super Bowl Sunday we remember we are all part of a winning team. Someday when we reach the goal line we will see Jesus welcoming us as we cross the finish line of this world and into the next.
