PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY
Our God and God of our ancestors, we ask Your blessings upon our country, and upon the leaders of our nation and of our communities.
Inspire all who lead and serve to conduct their affairs honorably. May peace and security, happiness and prosperity, right and freedom abide among us.
Unite the inhabitants of our country, of all backgrounds and creeds so that we may banish hatred and bigotry, safeguard our noblest ideals, and pressure those institutions which nurture liberty.
May this land under Your Providence be an influence for good throughout the world, helping to unite all peoples in peace and freedom, and bringing closer to fulfillment the visions of Your prophets:
“Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. “
“For the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness calm and confidence forever. “
Amen.

THE BIRTH OF AN ARTIST
My emergence into art.
1954 – I’m 3 years old – lying in bed
Fever rising pencil in my hand staring at the blank white night table
In a semiconscious slo-mo movement of hand/pencil reaching to the target night table
My hazy inspired moment- A SCRIBBLE!! WOW!!
More visions follow – circles, flowers, suns, moons and stars
People- cats and dogs
Each stroke is more and more exciting
101 fever – oh look the night table is growing bigger more to do…YES
My world created…so special…so mine
I have discovered my life long friend the pencil but need new white dresser
Eyes heavy now must sleep
Next morning on the dresser covered in my imagination there’s paper and crayons
Thanks mom!!!
THE FIRST PAINTING OF 2017
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017
STAY IN WONDER
I have always been in wonder of the world around me. I have never lost my child like awe. Imagination is key to creativity. When that is gone I will be lost. 2017 is my emergence into living a Willie Wonka life. Want to change the world….do it! Open your eyes and see the amazing things around you. Laughing, running towards pure imagination.
LETS GO AND PLAY.
Always ask questions. WHY?
