Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

If there is something you would like me to comment on, please feel free to ask.)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">There can be no greater mission in life than to love God and those around us. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Mark 12:28-34)</span> If we do this all we do will fall into place. Our very thinking process will change from self to others. Our lifestyle will change and become fuller. Our problems will become less debilitating and important. We become aware of what life is really all about. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Surely our problems are important but are they all there is? The world is in turmoil. Entitlement, greed and hate are on the rise. Crime follows close on their heels. Call all of this what you may, it is not love of God or of those around us. Love does not produce hate but subdues it. Love does not produce entitlement or greed but a giving heart. We have the choice of living a life that makes others our focus or ourselves the focus. Making ourselves our focus makes for an unhappy existence. Focusing on others may not make us rich or famous but it will result in a satisfaction that mirrors itself in the happiness of others. The key to this is not just family or friends but those outside of family and friends. Some of the best and most profound reactions are from those who were strangers. It is these "others" that need to see that Christ is alive and well on earth. It might just be that it is what they need to begin to love God and those around them. If the world is to change it has to begin with you and I. Mother Teresa was a prime example of this.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Today another of the Moontear images.</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgud0Z6PIzwMQIiy5aemA0gEn8tQji2Z_908HaESL5AMgJIMz61WeW9rhE-_Wz7O6y6fqII0YcpOWukCevkPHXyJXZoiEpOEDr0AP31J4AG3oknLci48O7AhVHXaXoIIW02UeFibQcpumQIyACIb2sfzDJ-vMK9SoAo-QLBJ-SWTVS8FYxt27esjznNfEE/s1448/%2330%20%20IMGP1078-Watermarked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1448" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgud0Z6PIzwMQIiy5aemA0gEn8tQji2Z_908HaESL5AMgJIMz61WeW9rhE-_Wz7O6y6fqII0YcpOWukCevkPHXyJXZoiEpOEDr0AP31J4AG3oknLci48O7AhVHXaXoIIW02UeFibQcpumQIyACIb2sfzDJ-vMK9SoAo-QLBJ-SWTVS8FYxt27esjznNfEE/w452-h640/%2330%20%20IMGP1078-Watermarked.jpg" width="452" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">The Copic colors used are:</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXbF5CsH62NwkH7KrBNLxcWajrA41r0fDPcWsljdT9MLj-Mtpfi2w7uYbSFCd8WNP8wu7L5raD06YW6JLCRXHI8wSxzqflppSVHlImvo4oRDGjKdePAnUEeqRfwARj1CO6s50rda4OHU6_cxdUQ-p6aIfqyp0O605PBictfZ3pXFUn3NQ232GrZnZLEK8/s1024/%2330%20%20IMGP1082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1024" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXbF5CsH62NwkH7KrBNLxcWajrA41r0fDPcWsljdT9MLj-Mtpfi2w7uYbSFCd8WNP8wu7L5raD06YW6JLCRXHI8wSxzqflppSVHlImvo4oRDGjKdePAnUEeqRfwARj1CO6s50rda4OHU6_cxdUQ-p6aIfqyp0O605PBictfZ3pXFUn3NQ232GrZnZLEK8/w640-h500/%2330%20%20IMGP1082.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">That is it for this week.

The above quote is true if the heart is scripture based. Scripture likens sinners to creatures of instinct. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Jeremiah 17:7-10,Proverbs 1:17, Jeremiah 8:7)</span> It seems the bible considers instinct to be an animal trait more than a human trait when God is not present. The key here is the natural conditioning. This speaks to the survival instinct. There are times when the survival instinct kicks in with situations we encounter in our lives. This is not always with God present. Our lives must be deeply rooted in the belief that God exists and Jesus is our savior. Jesus set aside all instincts and became totally dependant on God for everything. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Luke 42:22)</span> That goes against all natural instincts we follow. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Psalms 51:17)</span> It takes the sacrifice of a broken spirit to follow as Christ did. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Matthew 20:17-28)</span> That is the opposite of what the world teaches. Read the passages given here to understand what that means. Instinct can be a moral safety net if Christian based or a pit for the sinner when it is totally human based. Where you go in life determines the instincts you will follow.</span></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">This week another Moontear image.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2BFqhsXzT1RDyL89_8BZ5N0zfJoDuBYAIgrFXylnEUllNMN8TenEI-FK8NgO2tZnTWWukUacDQN8sZyumYzi_RLOP1UXs0WnebDKEkkJcqN4zRPhkdVI3ViEJKe3AAtPbv_8s1OPuSF6fN_VUsY1nMZVFVS57zKUk7bCf99g4kScsIAxdnpOM7WFwiY0/s1448/%2330%20%20IMGP1078-Watermarked.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1448" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2BFqhsXzT1RDyL89_8BZ5N0zfJoDuBYAIgrFXylnEUllNMN8TenEI-FK8NgO2tZnTWWukUacDQN8sZyumYzi_RLOP1UXs0WnebDKEkkJcqN4zRPhkdVI3ViEJKe3AAtPbv_8s1OPuSF6fN_VUsY1nMZVFVS57zKUk7bCf99g4kScsIAxdnpOM7WFwiY0/w452-h640/%2330%20%20IMGP1078-Watermarked.jpg" width="452" /></a></div>The copic colors used are:</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcbHpdv5LW3Mb5ZnA5thkHESpJITtiFXCWi8IIrjIrRjlLJtojy9yG_3PleajUzW4liwlR7Cn7bFiRmTe0atD-vYU8AE6J3a0MO2yDyQVMt23VZ9_zan26ExxoOvGY7t5E76VVQwoP4tHRmTyMb91THBAV3JPHPAf21DIODKIhlQr-zEGBLmIk6Va3Paw/s3134/%2330%20%20IMGP1082.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3134" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcbHpdv5LW3Mb5ZnA5thkHESpJITtiFXCWi8IIrjIrRjlLJtojy9yG_3PleajUzW4liwlR7Cn7bFiRmTe0atD-vYU8AE6J3a0MO2yDyQVMt23VZ9_zan26ExxoOvGY7t5E76VVQwoP4tHRmTyMb91THBAV3JPHPAf21DIODKIhlQr-zEGBLmIk6Va3Paw/w400-h313/%2330%20%20IMGP1082.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">That is it for this week.

That vision is based on the earthly life and the human experience. When we invite the Holy Spirit into our lives we begin the journey that changes our lives and our vision from earthly to spiritual. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(John 14:16-20)</span> The person living in the world sees the world but not as God sees it. When the spirit of God enters our lives our vision begins to change as well. Indeed the colors of the Spirit become more vivid and alive. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(John 14:26)</span> The vision becomes clearer and we are reminded of our place and direction. The loneliness and hopeless feelings become less burdensome or even nonexistent. It is how we are transformed and and find a closeness to our Lord that we never expected to experience. Our spirit becomes closer to the Holy spirit so that there is an inner vision unlike any our human spirit alone can experience. The world cannot know God our father without the paraclete. The Lord speaks of the paraclete coming to the apostles and manifesting in them, teaching them of YHWH Sabaoth <span style="color: #0b5394;">(Sabaoth means Lord of hosts)</span>. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(John 14:16-20, 26)</span> This is the spirit of God come to provide the vision and guidance we need in our walk with Christ. The color of the world is not the same because the Holy Spirit vision is much different than the eyes we see the world with. I have referenced the scripture twice in which Christ has promised us an advocate. It is as true today as it was then. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(John 14:20)</span><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: x-large;">Today another Moontear Image.

Growing up there was not much meaning to this word for me. I never had many friends or "buddies" to hang out with. I was shy, wary and unsure of those around me. I was poor, skinny and standoffish. I was teased a lot and made fun of by most of my peers in not so flattering ways. It was hard to find things to do when no-one wanted anything to do with you. Those that did have time to hang out were the troublemakers. They were only temporarily in my life. As I grew older and began to find the Lord things began to change and I did find a few that were to become my best friends. I also met a couple that accepted me as a friend. They helped me open up and I begin to trust people more. During that time I had a cousin that became a close friend as well. We enjoyed one another's company and did many things together. That all changed when My cousin was in need of a place to stay and the couple offered him a bed and place to stay which the couple inquired if I thought it was OK and I thought it was OK. I trusted him and I trusted them. The very first night he and the wife of the couple slept together. Her husband left her the next day and would not speak to me or have anything to do with me. The wife later offered to help me with "my problem" since she was a trained counselor. That was mostly to make her feel better about herself and place blame elsewhere. My life was in turmoil and trust was no longer something I had for anyone after what happened. Her husband was one of the very few that ever spoke up for me when others ignored me. That was destroyed with this incident. I have forgiven the people involved over time. My only wrong was trusting people and not the Lord in this case. The first trust should always be in the Lord. He is the decision maker in our relationship. The human heart will betray trust if it is not first in the Lord. <span style="color: #990000;">(Mark 7:14-23)</span> Life is neither fair nor unfair until people become involved. At this point, rest assured, we are tested and refined. Anyone who believes in the Lord will experience this.

There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.</span></span></p><p class="bq_fq_a" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 0px;"><a class="qa_133813 oncl_a" href="https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/martin-luther-king-jr-quotes" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0000aa; text-decoration-line: none;">Martin Luther King, Jr.</a></p><p><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">This was my way of thinking for many years growing up. Thinking for many is a source for headaches of major proportions. For many finding answers means finding short, compact explanations for everything in their lives. If only life was that simple! I for one do not ascribe to the short simple answer being the only correct answer. I want to know why that is the answer. The bible contains a guide book to living life in the sight and presence of God. It is a history book and a book that rivals any novel ever written. It has all of the features and situations ever conceived within its pages. It is a guide to our moral direction in life. The hard part is that it requires us to think about its message in its entirety. It also brings questions to mind that require some thought requiring solutions. For instance, what were the living conditions in biblical times or what influenced the thinking of the biblical men and women? What were the teachings of those times and eras? What influenced the Christian in biblical times? What was their teaching and the sources of the information? What other writings from times before Jesus were used to create what we call the bible? This and many other questions are what I try to study to better understand what God is, who God is, so I can be what He wants me to be. The answers are not simple nor are they hard to understand once explained. For me, understanding the times and conditions in biblical times is important to better understanding the people living in those times. We don't really live as they lived nor do we understand and believe as they believed. For instance, they believed in spirits <span style="color: #0b5394;">(what we might call ghosts)</span>.<span style="color: #990000;">(Ephesians 6:12, 2 Macc 3:12)</span> Something is lost in the translation without that. I am retired and have the time to dig deeper into the lives of the Israeli, Jewish, Christian connections. I find we are missing much of what Christianity is about. Most modern day believers stop short of the full understanding of the roots of our belief. Do you have questions about the lives and times of Christ, the New and Old testament? I could write a book on the things I have found about Christianity back then but I would be repeating what is already in print. It is more fun to do the research. (Much of my research is done through a program called <a href="https://www.logos.com/">LOGOS</a>. There are several versions and the libraries are huge. I get no compensation from them but I think anyone that wants to study the bible would benefit from this resource.)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">This week another of the Moontear images.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-6XQ8wTfaz37EjWz5boHALxRYSQU6hp-7PIGf04Sq9VFixXCdXUx-NrGc-p5-VsuF7l0PwgyveawCfFjk24p6wC-v0NmiNoX3vmmLYYRfnFQdHIKdYiUYj5rAhRZ8-Fxcqlknexwy52pJFKHNQbh-9zP7C3cE9OFbIJFXpXrHyUd5VzS6SXxWcC6xt0A/s1474/%2326%20%20IMGP1031-Watermarked.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Courgette;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1474" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-6XQ8wTfaz37EjWz5boHALxRYSQU6hp-7PIGf04Sq9VFixXCdXUx-NrGc-p5-VsuF7l0PwgyveawCfFjk24p6wC-v0NmiNoX3vmmLYYRfnFQdHIKdYiUYj5rAhRZ8-Fxcqlknexwy52pJFKHNQbh-9zP7C3cE9OFbIJFXpXrHyUd5VzS6SXxWcC6xt0A/w444-h640/%2326%20%20IMGP1031-Watermarked.jpg" width="444" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Courgette;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Copic colors used are:</span></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDdkqc8TONYNR7V2dBa0tRJ3xENYj-kFgJzy6JaslfouRTOYksFiGbdFYMTCfFkRRMycJlvmqpk0aL0MRJBlHMSb9C6KUloBlLj6u5FBHf3fH98FqzabO1_DzUGu6p8_Ys6Lh7q2MpVsLXF7mNqLXxbJveMKnprWr9A2DrXegpcvDLTOi4rYg0GLj5fhk/s3885/%2326%20%20IMGP1033.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Courgette;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2073" data-original-width="3885" height="342" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDdkqc8TONYNR7V2dBa0tRJ3xENYj-kFgJzy6JaslfouRTOYksFiGbdFYMTCfFkRRMycJlvmqpk0aL0MRJBlHMSb9C6KUloBlLj6u5FBHf3fH98FqzabO1_DzUGu6p8_Ys6Lh7q2MpVsLXF7mNqLXxbJveMKnprWr9A2DrXegpcvDLTOi4rYg0GLj5fhk/w640-h342/%2326%20%20IMGP1033.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Courgette;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">The pens used are ; Micron Blue 0.01 mm, Multiliner Wine & Olive.</span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">That is it for this week.

Death has many names but loss of love in our hearts and loss of respect for one another is a living death. Combine the two and death is complete. <span style="color: #990000;">(1 John 4:8, 4:16, 3:12, 3:18 - In fact, just read 1 John)</span> If you are walking around unhappy and feeling sorry for yourself all of the time, you are the walking dead. It does not matter what we think about our situation. If you want only the things that are good for others that God wants for all of us, your heart is in the right place. It is not that we don't matter but that we are not only considering ourselves. There are always others worse off than us. We need to see and understand we are not alone in our walk through this life. Misery may like company but it also desires understanding and compassion. An open heart is the way to becoming Christlike. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">This week is another image from Mootear.

Not many of us think much about our souls. What is the soul? Can it be easily defined? There are many descriptions and definitions for the soul depending on where you look. The wikipedia states : "Refers to one's life". Other sources refer to the soul as that part of us where emotions and things that make us who we are reside. Others combine the spirit and soul as that part of us that lives on when we die. The prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep. If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take" infers that it is eternal. <span style="color: #990000;">(Matthew 10:28, 1 Peter 2:11)</span> Both refer to the soul as being damaged by negative actions (NRSV-NJB-KJB-NAB). The soul is referred to often in the old testament but only twice in the new testament, at least in the 4 versions I checked. I am sure the 20+ versions I have would be the same to some degree. Love is without question God, for God is Love. <span style="color: #990000;">(1 John 4:8)</span> 1 John is about god's love and our love for god. I don't know what that piece of soul is but I wouldn't be surprised if it was missing love. Love is the one thing that has the power to make us complete and acceptable before God. It is the one piece of our existence that our spirit needs to be eternal. There are many naysayers that say the spirit die when we die. Without love that may very well be true. Without love we are truly dead men walking.</span><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoBodyText" style="tab-stops: 0in .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 1.75in 2.0in 2.25in 2.5in 2.75in 3.0in 3.25in 3.5in 3.75in 4.0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">********************<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="tab-stops: 0in .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 1.75in 2.0in 2.25in 2.5in 2.75in 3.0in 3.25in 3.5in 3.75in 4.0in; text-align: justify;"><o:p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"> There is little about me I do not know.

If so then, at that moment, you understand what Christ went through. <span style="color: #990000;">(Mark 9:19, Matthew 17:17)</span><br />Even though He was troubled by the generation He lived in, He still felt compassion for us. Even from the cross He had compassion on His enemies. <span style="color: #990000;">(Luke 23:34)</span> Life is not a sporting event where hate and competition rule. It is a place to learn what our place in eternity will be. There have been times when I have felt the pain of others was deserved and it was good. I then hang my head in sorrow at the thought of feeling that way. Who was I to think they deserved whatever was happening to them. There have been many times when others have done the same to me, although I doubt they later hung their heads in sorrow. We are not the ones to say who deserves what or why they deserve it. This world is on the brink of self destruction and there are many reasons to judge that it deserves that punishment. Then I see the destruction of war and the lives sacrificed as a result. All that I can feel is sorrow at the passing of the innocent as well as the warriors. It is sad the ways in which man finds to destroy himself and others. There are more important things to do than kill one another. It saddens me to live in times like this. I have had others who were hurting more than me show compassion for me when struggling. This is how things should be. It is called love for one another. It is called compassion and selflessness. If we cared less about power, jealousy and hatred this world would be a better place to live.</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">A few thoughts from the book that never was.</span></div><div><p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">*********************<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is uncertain whether these images were created in AI but I think many of the available coloring book style artwork images are now AI created.

Yep, even the hair when strands are visible. The copic Sketch pens have a super fine brush tip. T</span>he fine details must done w<span>ith a light touch and great care. The paper used for this kind of work requires the paper not be too absorbent. Even the lightest touch on an absorbent paper can quickly ruin the image. If bleeding occurs, careful use of the "0" pen can erase bleeds or "oopsies". This is why the "0" pens are included in the colors used. Bad mistakes or bleeds are often "correctable" but may leave behind a stain mark. I experiment when using paper not used before. The "0" blending pens are great for cleanup of an image.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><span> </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">That does it for this week.

In recent years I have noticed a distinct lack of others asking for forgiveness of others. My thought is whether not asking forgiveness carries to not asking forgiveness from God. Indications are that it does. In fact if we are not asking forgiveness of others it is most certainly not being asked of God for our sins. We could take a powerful lesson from the ancients in their way of confessing and asking for forgiveness. They went so far as to prostrate themselves face down in the dust to do so. There are few in this world today that would humble themselves in this way let alone ask for forgiveness face to face. I know I am guilty of the omission of asking the forgiveness of another. I do ask forgiveness of God for my sins. Confession is part of the process of forgiveness from God. I try to make it a point to confess the sins in my life as soon as I think of them. That means out loud and usually in private. The Lord is most gracious when done this way. No sin is too small to confess before Him. He is my confessor. Is he yours? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I am well pleased with the images from Dreams Coloring art. I must admit that I am choosy about the images I pick to color right now.

The detail is excellent in these images. That makes them a challenge to do and fun at the same time. Anyone who has done coloring of portrait style images knows that female and male images takes some adjustments in thinking to get good results. I am not a professional colorist but there are many differences to the two types of image. Making an image appear male or female is a matter of color choice.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">That is it for this week. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.

I am not rich nor am I famous. I don't see either of them as being important in my life. I have had a decent life and have not wanted for much but neither have I had an abundance of things. My needs are filled with little left over if anything. I love astronomy and have built several telescopes over the years but, alas, the night sky is so bright that it is difficult to see the splendor of a dark sky filled with the stars of this galaxy we live in. I grew up during the second world war, the Korean war, the Vietnam war and chased Cuban gun boats when Russia put missiles in cuba. I was there when President Kennedy almost started a nuclear war while serving on a destroyer in Cuban waters. The times were good and bad during my lifetime. I never thought I would live as long as I have. God has been good, His Spirit watching over me and my family. Much of what I have shared in the book that never was were thoughts during those times. I thought it was time to share it on my blog. I feel more people will see and read it this way rather than try to have it published or even formally self publish it. I am not interested in a monetary compensation. It is more important that it shows that there are many possibilities in life and that God in ones life helps when it seems overwhelming. I am going to give the book a rest for the time being. </span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">I have always loved art and participated in several art contests in my youth. I have won a few of them but always did my best. I have been coloring mostly female images to display on this blog. I have been searching for male or young boy images to do but until recently have had little success in finding any. Finally I have a few images of boys to color. There are many more young ladies in the set but I have singled out the boys. They are from Etsy. This site on Etsy is "Dreams Coloring Art." I hope you like them as much as I enjoy doing them. They are more difficult in some ways than the female images. Enjoy!</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQGP7noRCvi2jltFn07p1kceDp8qAU2XsLkCNNGO3h_xWWPsVzzN21dgnREl0WhyphenhyphenOoevpTeDRdmqw5obpVWTJ6MJz-odPvKdjUEZdn84IB7swDqhVVikaxDeu0bUMmaJ0qWX0TlOF9-2D9n_oUkkvL_0Nf24iCQbQqc5hzP3mOpa5d6l_tftuV6vYo8Xc/s2944/IMGP1199-a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2944" data-original-width="2071" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQGP7noRCvi2jltFn07p1kceDp8qAU2XsLkCNNGO3h_xWWPsVzzN21dgnREl0WhyphenhyphenOoevpTeDRdmqw5obpVWTJ6MJz-odPvKdjUEZdn84IB7swDqhVVikaxDeu0bUMmaJ0qWX0TlOF9-2D9n_oUkkvL_0Nf24iCQbQqc5hzP3mOpa5d6l_tftuV6vYo8Xc/w450-h640/IMGP1199-a.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">The copic colors are:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGBG7ExORtNN2E7Syr9JhkU3A69z6WqDGuFgSgIuWwXE38plW6QxNkR-PqUXc8zzvopSFhk4COW5qDR5MyhYJvaE616untoHihSl2SrXCjXiwZMBzv5oaunhUQAGYzxzmOYSafBg6GkAfbxAHGSp1BeOJPE_pIaqlKLyt60HrQcF7VtOWJ4JqcXPpJU0o/s2361/IMGP1201.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2341" data-original-width="2361" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGBG7ExORtNN2E7Syr9JhkU3A69z6WqDGuFgSgIuWwXE38plW6QxNkR-PqUXc8zzvopSFhk4COW5qDR5MyhYJvaE616untoHihSl2SrXCjXiwZMBzv5oaunhUQAGYzxzmOYSafBg6GkAfbxAHGSp1BeOJPE_pIaqlKLyt60HrQcF7VtOWJ4JqcXPpJU0o/w400-h396/IMGP1201.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>The coat in this image was left "as is".

I know of many that say there is no God and just as many that say there is no life after death. They are the ones that the bible says are lost. Some of these lost souls will turn to God before they pass and be saved but many will not. The impossible is possible with the Lord.</span><div><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">More from the book that never was. </span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courgette;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />**********</span></span></div><p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="font-family: georgia;"> Solitude, "the

alone, withdrawn within themselves, for lack of
expression of their inner being. We cloak and veil ourselves over to
keep others out knowing full well we would be rejected if we permitted our
every feeling to be known, however complete or incomplete that expression might
be. The Christian is especially prone to holding himself in. The frustrations,
put downs, inability to express one's self, quiet wars in private places,
extreme love, hurts, joy, sorrow and all other manner of living experiences can
be crippling. They are all here in this
book to tell of their universality and also of their lessons and the hope they
herald. All parts have been tested by giving bits and pieces to different
people. I have been put on a pedestal as well as told I have gone off the deep
end for what is written here. These
pages are not a critical analysis but a bit of hope for those who think no one
else knows what is inside. Thank you for
those who knew this to be true and encouraged me to give what is inside to you.<o:p></o:p></p></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">**********</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;"><p align="center" class="MsoBodyText" style="tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.3in 1.9in; text-align: center;"><b><u>Homeward</u></b><o:p></o:p></p>

It doesn't change who I am but it shows me that as I go through life we all go through troubles and hardships. Asking why do you allow this or that to happen seldom brings a forthcoming answer. We are left with that question hanging in the air. Often it is because we are impatient and want the answer now, not later. Many of the "whys" in my life had answers well into the future and some "whys" will never be answered in this lifetime. A good example is the birth of Christ. His coming was foretold centuries before His arrival. Christ himself said that many that had gone before would have loved to witness His coming. <span style="color: #cc0000;">(Matthew 13:17, Luke 10:23-24)</span> For us, it is in faith that we live our lives, that we thank Him for hearing us, even though we neither see nor hear him as we hear one another. Our hearts know when He speaks to us. Peace often is the result. </span><p></p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCuMayDNDGDonu-9CmfFg6ItFsPwSGYlZa8wxOZ_6Nd7grQ2B0-sTvPi-MAwL-ulfvs4qL0sPxxfwP2Qbb2effWp8SgjVMmYMZkqHjhQi8FiKsB0Kw5-VkNptPpY-SiXAujQvJg6xFbzjtbwrxQjs2kBVoTi7zaQ1xsrx37T-waXZabAtBVeabDrl4mw/s3725/%234%20Jesus%20%20IMGP1098%20watermarked.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3725" data-original-width="2728" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCuMayDNDGDonu-9CmfFg6ItFsPwSGYlZa8wxOZ_6Nd7grQ2B0-sTvPi-MAwL-ulfvs4qL0sPxxfwP2Qbb2effWp8SgjVMmYMZkqHjhQi8FiKsB0Kw5-VkNptPpY-SiXAujQvJg6xFbzjtbwrxQjs2kBVoTi7zaQ1xsrx37T-waXZabAtBVeabDrl4mw/w468-h640/%234%20Jesus%20%20IMGP1098%20watermarked.JPG" width="468" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZMjBNtdkfselV5zwsYv8qZsxhkj3yx2YF8ATWZBEEtpWQDLtF49A2IgLHiv5PW1H3HTZuhh9_BTEOXVkynLaTMbdG3QEgn60GkiNkvEE_dZ33LxBV9shje_ZUGXL0YabAWrEjqcOI-8Jsqgffh9qWxpEtKmMf2HCd5XSdmSI2MhVV6IvMiq1R6KVUrnk/s3680/%234%20Jesus%20%20IMGP1102.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2349" data-original-width="3680" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZMjBNtdkfselV5zwsYv8qZsxhkj3yx2YF8ATWZBEEtpWQDLtF49A2IgLHiv5PW1H3HTZuhh9_BTEOXVkynLaTMbdG3QEgn60GkiNkvEE_dZ33LxBV9shje_ZUGXL0YabAWrEjqcOI-8Jsqgffh9qWxpEtKmMf2HCd5XSdmSI2MhVV6IvMiq1R6KVUrnk/w640-h408/%234%20Jesus%20%20IMGP1102.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: xx-large;">Have a Merry Christmas.

<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"> It was once asked of a
simple man of no great education how it was that he believed life was love. His reply was simple. "If you were to go out
into the field and see a wild flower that was beautiful
in your eyes, would you find peace and pleasure? The
flower did what it was created for by using its beauty to
love you, since it was created in love. Since it could
love you, it was created for you and you alone. You in turn
know peace and will share the love you were
given." He was then asked, "Why not pick the flower and
preserve it?" In reply he said, "If you were loved by
a flower and caressed by its fragrance, would you pick
it and cause its beauty to wither before its time or
would you permit it to live as long as possible to preserve
its beauty and fragrance for others to enjoy also?
Would it not be better that it were where you could return
and enjoy its natural setting and also allow it to seed
for future pleasure?" The questioner, after pondering this, thanked the man and left. As he walked
away, the simple man saw him pause, walk into the field and
reach down as if to pick one of the wild flowers. He
smiled instead, breathed in deeply as he turned to stand
erect. Still smiling, he nodded in agreement and went on his way. The man of no great education and simple
means stood in the roadway with peace in his heart
sharing the fragrant love the breezes were bringing in from the
fields.</span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">ã</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">copyrighted</span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">------------</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">I don't know if you are tired of the images from Moontear yet but here is another one.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCvF1jva_SG2Y7q8usZtaJX9KqN5v0xfmjWA9U_xBa7JlrNq3WwJ1zn8M-yNOQSLixeoVO30IAqW_zMMQVyU5j5zphOm3q-O82Zqwxo_k47n14E3u_KgvQo3kBG1Vw02WXRBDRROdqyJDM1Eu6oHN2HesAGLWr5ktRKGuLI2APsI3VozefjKpIk6tWQVY/s3256/%2316%20%20IMGP1046-A%20Watermarked.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3256" data-original-width="2281" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCvF1jva_SG2Y7q8usZtaJX9KqN5v0xfmjWA9U_xBa7JlrNq3WwJ1zn8M-yNOQSLixeoVO30IAqW_zMMQVyU5j5zphOm3q-O82Zqwxo_k47n14E3u_KgvQo3kBG1Vw02WXRBDRROdqyJDM1Eu6oHN2HesAGLWr5ktRKGuLI2APsI3VozefjKpIk6tWQVY/w448-h640/%2316%20%20IMGP1046-A%20Watermarked.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">The Copic colors are;</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwN_8r3iOpq3JG0uZEeburUtDY2wTxQiDr82bS8l7POWQaw5EP0YNG3IOehanX1xJhRo_nwButmFdUNr-uXkV4JwTcXWhFBcqWUTsmeFcHd4pYAd77S4Rn0UGOnVdveCLy4YeGx7W_BtnD5UgTH1vOfwsTNy72Knk6qp_jOGDaC9shXmHh-MBRlNvFuE/s3063/%2316%20%20IMGP1049.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2482" data-original-width="3063" height="518" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwN_8r3iOpq3JG0uZEeburUtDY2wTxQiDr82bS8l7POWQaw5EP0YNG3IOehanX1xJhRo_nwButmFdUNr-uXkV4JwTcXWhFBcqWUTsmeFcHd4pYAd77S4Rn0UGOnVdveCLy4YeGx7W_BtnD5UgTH1vOfwsTNy72Knk6qp_jOGDaC9shXmHh-MBRlNvFuE/w640-h518/%2316%20%20IMGP1049.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">After being sick for more than a week, losing most of my hearing and just feeling out of it I am feeling much better.

who do not mistrust him. <sup>3 </sup>Perverse thoughts, however, separate
people from God, and power, when put to the test, confounds the stupid. <sup>4 </sup>Wisdom
will never enter the soul of a wrong-doer, nor dwell in a body enslaved to sin;

from unintelligent thoughts, is thwarted by the onset of vice. <sup>6 </sup>Wisdom
is a spirit friendly to humanity, though she will not let a blasphemer’s words
go unpunished; since God observes the very soul and accurately surveys the
heart, listening to every word. <sup>7 </sup>For the spirit of the Lord fills
the world, and that which holds everything together knows every word said. </span></span><span style="font-size: 24.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">-------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;">I found this in my saved documents.

when God said ‘Go,’ you stayed, because you were so concerned about your people

When you obeyed and left all consequences to God, the Lord went into your city
to teach; as long as you would not obey, you were in the way. Watch where you
begin to debate and to put what you call duty in competition with your Lord’s
commands. ‘I know God told me to go, but then my duty was here’; that means you
do not believe that Jesus means what he says.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">He

we playing the spiritual amateur providence in other lives? Are we so noisy in
our instruction of others that God cannot get anywhere near them? We have to
keep our mouths shut and our spirits alert. God wants to instruct us in regard
to His Son, He wants to turn our times of prayer into mounts of
transfiguration, and we will not let Him. When we are certain of the way God is
going to work, He will never work in that way any more.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">He

Wait on God and He will work, but don’t wait in spiritual sulks because you

spiritual hysterics to wait on God? To wait is not to sit with folded hands,
but to learn to do what we are told.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .25in;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">These

surprise us with their depth. Though we are often shallow in thought or word,
what comes from the unseen depths of our heart can be hard to bear. How do we
define what is there except to mutter all sorts of unintelligible things that
attempt to give flight to the flightless or define the unseen and immortal.
Words fail miserably where a look, a touch, a caress, a hug or a kiss are much
more complete. Why then do we bother with words other than "I love you?"
They are wasted effort when lovers are together and only a valiant attempt when
they are apart. Only by their presence can love seat itself in their hearts,
take root and grow into beautiful perfection. Only then does what was sown
become inseparable and forever part of them. Love becomes who they are.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p align="center" class="MsoBodyText" style="tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.3in 1.9in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courgette; font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Creation Anew</u></b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="tab-stops: 0in .5in 1.3in 1.9in;

to see the world in a new way. In
unexpected answer, my eyes were opened to
see the truth unfolding within my own being. Two
worlds lay in open defiance of one another, giving
no quarter, showing no mercy. My
heart grew faint and my soul shuddered to witness
the struggle between eternal and mortal.</p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="tab-stops: 0in .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 1.75in 2.0in 2.25in 2.5in 2.75in 3.0in 3.25in 3.5in 3.75in 4.0in; text-align: justify;">My
eyes filled with the sorrow of a lifetime; my
body knew the pain of hopelessness. The
loneliness of what was revealed grew for
I did not want to face what was there. The
pain of the truth was great and heavy when
I found what must be faced within me. Little
did I know that I must begin within before
I could see what lay round about me.</p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="tab-stops: 0in .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 1.75in 2.0in 2.25in 2.5in 2.75in 3.0in 3.25in 3.5in 3.75in 4.0in; text-align: justify;">Tears
must be shed, humility learned, suffering
accepted and forgiveness given. Confession
had to be made before God that
I may find and know His forgiveness. To
be given a vision of both worlds is
to realize they intertwine and blend. A
measure of pain within this mortal life to
a measure of joy for the eternal life. A
balance of both worlds in this life brings
living wealth to the eternal now.</p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="tab-stops: 0in .25in .5in .75in 1.0in 1.25in 1.5in 1.75in 2.0in 2.25in 2.5in 2.75in 3.0in 3.25in 3.5in 3.75in 4.0in; text-align: justify;">Eyes,
