All the books of the Bible reinforce the message that God deserves our praise. In Nehemiah […]
Oh How I Love the Color Blue
My favorite color is blue, and I use it a lot in my art. I’m not alone! Studies show that blue is one of the most popular favorite colors. It’s easy to forget that God created everything, even color. Scholars have argued about the significance of certain colors in the Bible, but when I think […]
This Child Is Free and Happy
I have very vivid dreams and sometimes paint the images I dream about. One night I dreamed that I was standing in front of a series of doors while at the same time holding a key. I could go wherever I wanted, through any door, and while I had the key in my hand I […]

The Constant Comfort of the Psalms
