A Bold Life

this is one of my favorite paintings
acrylic on paper
  the scene across the street
minus the ranch house and horses

I love the boldness
intensity of color

a statement 
I want to make
with my life

having the courage
to make sure strokes
without wavering
or apology

seems like spring
is a good season
to start

A New Day

It's March 1st, 2016,
a day that has never happened before,
and I am impressed
that this is the beginning of a new season.

Yes, spring is right around the corner,
 but I believe it is much more than that.

To successfully enter and participate,
we must travel light.

Letting go of former things,
and facing Him with joy and expectancy
truly believing
that our God is good and honest,
all power and majesty,
and
that He loves us
beyond reason and measure.

He thinks we are awesome.

Let's prove Him right!
