Beautiful Song and Poetry Lyrics, Book, Media and Movie Commentaries

I get excited when Spotify introduces me to a new musical artist that I fall in love with! This past weekend, it was Mean Mary. She has quite a voice and talent! Great guitar and banjo, and amazingly creative YouTube videos. And it appears she writes her own songs. By listening to more of her works, I found a number of very spiritual and Christian-based lyrics. That’s an even bigger plus – a musical artist that is spiritual and Christian...

Personal Writings, Writings

I remember the year that we bought a beautiful and somewhat large-figured nativity set for Christmas. I had unpacked and set it up on a piece of furniture in the dining room and I suppose without thinking through how to position the animals and humans around the manger, I had them placed some of them – probably all but Mary and Joseph – facing outward from Baby Jesus, toward the viewer.

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
