The Power of Art

What dances in my spirit at the stroke of a brush?

Such beauty

Such creativity

Oil and color paints the window into God's heart

Viewing into heaven,

So many thoughts captured in one glance

A lifetime of skill shown in one instant

The creativity of God placed in the skill of man

How many paintings has God made?

The Grand Canyon, the oceans, the mountains, the forrest, the stars, the nebula in space,

What part of the human soul does this awaken?

What deep place in our spirit is moved by art?

Gaps in Time

What happens when the world stops?

When time stands still and everything can be clearly seen?

What could be more important than to pause and enter His Presence?

These gaps in time, these frozen moments,

Can be created

When the candle burns at both ends

And the hands on the clock move faster than the sun

One needs to pause time and walk with God

Look at the stars

Become lost in the vastness of space

Let God's enormity consume you

Drift out of this world and let Him take you into the next

From Glory to Glory

The clouds part

Rays of warm light shine through

Trees sprout up from the ground

They grow tall and have magnificent, green palm leaves

Electric green particles of light float up into the sky and disappear

Angels dance around

With their heavy armor and broad swords

They use their weapons as drums

And dance a wild dance 

Bright, teal waters rush into the room

Small, streaming waterfalls come down the walls

Angels haul barrels filled with glory and dump them into the room

A golden, vibrant liquid pours out

The pooling waters light on fire

And waves of grace overtake me

The fire warms my spirit but does not burn me

His love is so good!

It casts out my fear

As my hands trace through the air, a trail of flourescent blue light is left behind

Green vines grow up and down the walls

The air is thick with God's Prescence 

Such peace...

Such love....

There is nothing better

Bricks Made of Music

Walking on streets of gold,

I'm amazed at their purity

I hear music all around

People are laughing, dancing

But the gold bricks that compose the road

Seem to be composing something else as well

I bend my ear to the ground

And more music is what I hear!

The gold bricks themselves are making music!

Upon staring at them intently,

They seem to be vibrating as well

It's as if the very bricks themselves are composed of music!

How can music be a physical component of a brick?

God, the great Composer, has created 

        gold bricks made of music and precious metal!

What a beautiful wonder.....

What is Impossible?

Can it require less effort to move a mountain

       than a small pebble?

If faith were pure, could it be easier than the physical

       effort it requires to lift a small pebble?

Can God be put in a box?

What is impossible with God?

Teleporting?

Flying?

What does the Bible say is impossible with God?

Walking on the bottom of the ocean because

       walls of water miles high were formed?

Breathing in space?

What is impossible with God?

A criminal's heart changing?

Seeing colors that have not been discovered yet?

Lifting a building with your bare hands?

What is impossible with God?

Nothing.

Trying to Define God

Nothing is impossible

Nothing is outside of Heaven's dreams

Look outside the box

See through the box

There is no box

Bundles of Joy

What do you do when magic enters your home?
When two Words from heaven come
Beauty and wonder and dreams flow freely
Such a marvelous dance of laughter,
     patience, and stress
Who knew that such wonderful bundles of joy
Could cause you to want to collapse?
They are so precious to me
I love them before they have done anything
I love them before they wake
I love them for breathing
I love them for walking
I love them for being my children
