where love grows

This is my work desk. As you can see, I have two habits I haven't been able to shake- they get me through some arduous projects. Diet Coke and Smokes.

I have inspiration galore and I love to sit at this art table and create. It's where it all starts, where ideas become actions! I am sitting here right now as I type this. Hannah is laying on the bed watching the Heffalump movie. My sewing machine rests behind me with a well deserved break.

The Holidays are always busy, but when I start each day at this table with prayer and meditation, nothing seems too hectic or to unforgiving. When Jesus died for me, he took all that with him. All I have to do is thank him and praise him! I can do that by using the gifts he gave me and being kind and giving to the world. I hope I am doing a good job!

the inspiration God made just for me...

..because he loves me so much!

"Religion was an attempt to pin down the Divine. The Divine was eternally in flux, forever moving, shifting shape. That was its nature. It was absolute, true enough: absolutely mobile. Absolutely transcendent goddess aspects, but it was ultimately no more male or female than it was star or screwdriver. It was the sum of all those things, but that sum could never be chalked on a slate. The Divine was beyond description, beyond knowing, beyond comprehension. To say that the Divine was Creation divided by Destruction was as close as one could come to definition. But the puny of soul, the dull of wit, weren’t content with that. They wanted to hang a face on the Divine. They went so far as to attribute petty human emotions [anger, jealousy, etc.] to it, not stopping to realize that if God were a being, even a supreme being, our prayers would have bored him to death long ago."
