Today my heart is not lifted up.
Sometimes I lift my eyes unto the hills.
Today my eyes contemplate the sand.

Sometimes I sing until I’m sore.
Today I am silent.

I have calmed and quieted my soul
like a little boy
reaching up to his mother’s hand

like a little boy
silent and waiting

with a mother
who has nothing to say
but stares ahead.

Thank you for visiting....

Christian Manifesto of Art

1. God uses emotional extremes to create art. 2. Prayer increases creativity in that it feeds the Spirit. 3. Art is a reflection of the Creator. 4. Art may not always be attractive, but it is always aesthetic. 4. Art made by Christians should edify the Body of Christ. 5. Because of the lack of cultural and artistic awareness in our present society, art will often threaten, anger, or confuse members of the Body of Christ. 6. The Christian artist should be patient in communicating art to the Body of Christ. 7. Because Christianity believes in certain core absolutes, and art is by its nature exploratory and questioning, the Christian artist may find himself or herself at odds with institutions within the scope of Christianity and with artists outside the scope of Christianity. In times such as this, Christian artists from all fields must support one another.
