Body Art

Exciting news, I had an article published on Boundless today!  I had a lot of fun writing it.  The artwork for their article is based on my own drawings too.  I hope you like both the article and drawings.

It’s a long one but here is a snippet …

… Artists will be stunted if they are not allowed to express. We have to know that the Lord will open the door for us to do so. He is a Good Shepherd and He will tend to His children and the creative gifts he has given them.

We also must be content. Our culture also idolizes artists in a carnal manner and forms an entirely different stereotype to impose on these gifted people. As artists, we must be content that true expression and fulfillment takes place when we work with our Creator to produce something glorious for Him. Whether one person or one billion … or no other human appreciates your efforts, as long as it brings a smile to your Father’s face … that’s all that really matters. Be content.

I’m happy to say that the arts are coming back in full effect. It’s wonderful to see all the fantastic new talent, concerts, skits, videos, songs, worship genres, quality writing, singers, poets, prose and on and on rising up all throughout the Body of Christ. Yes we all know the Word of God is sufficient. The Scriptures are alive and is the voice of God to us. The very cool part of it is that we also give voice to The Word. We sing it, draw it, dance it, rap it, shout it, paint it, act it, record it, reveal it in glorious ways.

We were created by the Creator to create. So … get busy.

Go read the whole thing.

And here is a hearty welcome to all the Boundless readers clicking through to visit my blog.  Glad you are here!  I pray for you to be blessed.  Plus, if you are an artist in some form or fashion… let’s see some of your work.  You can leave links in the comments if you would like.

War Against Whining - Will It Ever End?

Times are bleak … the world is in peril … the judges on American Idol don’t have a large repertoire of feedback beyond “Dawg, Dude … it’s kind of pitchy” “Your Amazing so just hold on to your dreams” and “That was horribly karaoke and you look like a haunted wombat” … we demand change!

YOU … yes YOU are being called on to serve the world by combating the evils of whiny-ness by coming up with no less than 10 things to be grateful for.

I know, it might be difficult … nay even to the point of personally sacrificing snarkiness and whining for a whole five to ten minutes.

BUT if Randy Thomas can stop whining for the time it takes to come up with a list… anyone can!

Just do it, and don’t go for only the obvious, k? … Here I go … ::: Pulling goggles down over my eyes and taking a deep breath :::

1. Long naps on Sunday afternoon
2. Having my own home
3. Baby Lizards are cute
4. Signs of Spring are all around
5. Pictures of family and friends (awwww….)
6. My soap opera name is Maximilian Kensington ( you can just call me Max)
7. I am grateful to live in the United States
8. Fresh Air
9. New Co-workers tomorrow
10. And of course the Triune Nature of a God who exists in every moment as if it were Now. (read … eternal.)
