Sometimes life is hard , then all of a sudden it’s tougher . some people say that Christianity is a crutch, I say it’s more like a stretcher getting you through the tough times. #faith#God#jesus#christianity#livebyfaith

I was excited by this dream. I have lost most (nearly all) of that creative time. What remains? What can I do? What must I do? Boldness is key, energy critically important, and a profoundly impactful imagination focused on glorifying God! Art that slams people in the face and cuts deep into their hearts. Effective… gut wrenching. All that I do must have this sort of impact; but what shall it be? To start, I must finish the four pen and ink panels. (I am confident they were God given.). Perhaps they are to be turned into larger full color paintings? Seems like an impossible thing to do at my age. Yet, it can be done! What else? I don’t know. God enables those He has called to serve Him. I am one, so are you…in Christ.
These are my thoughts about this dream. What are yours? Perhaps God is not finished with you, maybe you’re just beginning!
Over the next few days I will be posting a series of my own contemplations for your consideration or comments. I hope they provoke you to good thoughts and deeds !

Dream - Artists and their Murals
5:41AM I woke up from a sound sleep with exhilarating dreams about young artists painting massive murals in public places on tile floors and great walls inside buildings. The subjects were human beings, in various emotional states of being and life settings.
A man in great pain pushing against a wall of glass was one (Monochrome or bi-chrome) was one such mural that was particularly moving.
Amazingly gifted men and women full
of youthful energies pursuing their work with great vigor, great enthusiasm.
I asked them questions and offered encouragements. Their work was meant for many eyes to see.

Here is the first of four drawings. This one is entitled: Golgotha. The three circles may be read thusly:
Jesus suffered and died…
To destroy sin and death…
To redeem the world.
I have three more to do in this series.
Your comments and thoughts welcomed.
@devonboy3410@Jollybgood@5Solas I’m a born again Christian. I believe in science. I believe in the word of God . Not all Christians have every aspect of theology correct . That does not discount them from salvation.
@mitchellvii Not true ! “99% people who are offended by this hate Trump.” Brother this was done in “very” poor taste. I don’t hate Trump and I think he made a big mistake.

A Crucifixion Painting
I was moved to paint this picture of Christ crucified over a nine month period about 25 years ago. It is acrylic on canvas, entitled His Indescribable Gift (inspired by the Scripture from 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV) “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” I pray this Good Friday you will remember what an indescribable gift God the Father has given to us in His Son, Jesus Christ!

From one Suffering Soul to Another
As hard as life may seem at times, there are others, even those you love, who are going through much worse things. Be grateful always for the blessings that are flowing into your life and pray for those who are suffering dearly, that they may have peace, healing and restoration! He is able! Trust is the name of the road we travel on. Amen.
Proverbs 3:5 (ESV)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
@shadmbrooks I believe in the Trinity, I don’t hate you. I don’t even know you. The difference is who is Jesus ? that’s the difference friend. The Muslims believe in Jesus, but it’s not the same Jesus I believe in l, that’s the difference friend.
