This is the refrain from one of my FAVORITE songs by one of my FAVORITE musician/singer/songwriters: Mindy Gledhill. You just gotta listen to her music! It's the most wonderfulest!

Growing Younger

Orientation
A few thoughts to go with this sketch from a very full day at Wingate University with my oldest daughter, Catherine, for freshman orientation: *It was as much orientation for me (a parent) as it was for her. *Information overload hit me about noon. Day wasn't over until 6 pm. Whew! *Overall impression: Amazed at … Continue reading Orientation
What I Have to Give
When the basket passes by, I often wish I could give something other than money. Not that I always have that to give. We've been taught that, MORE than our money, God wants our Hearts. So I often imagine my own little self inside that basket, being whisked away for use in His Kingdom. I … Continue reading What I Have to Give

(Cennino Cennini) In case you do not know who Cennino Cennini … Continue reading Encouragement from Across the Ages

Sitting here in the overwhelm that seems to be my life these days, I flip through my sketchbook to begin drawing on a blank page. This is the last drawing entered in my Handbook Journal, drawn last Tuesday at Baptist Hospital waiting for my dear mom to come out of surgery for breast cancer. What … Continue reading The Habit of Attention
A Must Share!
Something about my little beach drawrings made me think of Maurice Prendergast, an artist I've admired for years. This was only after the fact, not something I was aware of while drawing at the beach. But it made me google him and read more about him as an artist when I found THIS! You simply … Continue reading A Must Share!
