These days every time I hear a nebulous quotation or atypical usage of scripture or “God ideas” in some Christian context–meme, music, sermon, book, etc–I feel compelled to do my homework. Because of what I have been learning in recent times, it now feels like navigating landmines. My title here comes from a statement made in a talk by Jordan Cooper, linked at the end. It resonates because too often these days, we are hearing the “Christianizing” or “Jesus-izing” lens...

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.
