    Some Thoughts To Think On Before 2010!

    December 28

    “We think we now know as we have been and will soon embark.
    Will it be what has often already been, finding the still of the dark?
    Is there hope that this year will be different, walking in a new way?
    Uncertainty stands before the door of 2010 and welcoming that day.

    Beyond that door are discoveries of self that will truly come about,
    Things that could make us proud or some that could give us doubt.
    With all the hardships caused by the greed and acts of selfish men
    Are there places of truth and trust that we could live in peace again?

    Now the rush, shopping, travel, deadlines and the weather mess,
    Yearend sales and exchanges, all dragging us back into deep distress.
    The call for us to usher in another New Year when midnight strikes,
    The dress, the party, the hoopla, we must have only things we like.

    We pass over the choices and the pain; the stuff that came with strife
    Vows broken, promises gone, feelings diminished; only on with my life
    Don’t want to see the pathways taken for what will or has come to be
    It’s now where no satisfaction is other than what is set for just me

    Years have passed, vows forgotten, feeling, polls taken to decide
    What might have been if one prayed and consulted Him deep inside?
    What consequences would have been avoided only praise instead
    Here you are with pain and uncertainties just wanting to go to bed.

    Choices maybe coming home to stay now shown through others
    Trusting in the world and the words of my sisters and brothers
    Now you’ve taught and accepted the lie that Eve had passed down
    Seeing your hopes aloof and the fallacies of the world to drown

    And as the New Year walks closer each and everyday
    You continue to not see; listening to what others have to say
    As Jobs wife was wrong , is it that it rubbed off on you
    Doesn’t have to be that way as New Years comes into view.

    You can make the choices or decide to rethink and change
    Maybe hard to swallow, people may think you are strange
    You don’t answer to the world and the lies you’ve been told
    Sometime life calls for standing up and truly being bold

    What does He say and what does He demand for you this day
    Starting fresh with pathways to be set as 2010 is on its way
    Think over what you are doing and what you have done
    Only He can give you the answer, as words come from the Son

    It’s not about what people say or what they think of you
    It’s what you will say when He weighs the balance of what’s due
    Spend some time and think and ponder; look and really see
    Find the positives, be obedient and live where life is free!”

    “Happiest Of “New Years” to You!”

    What Child?

    December 21

    What child was this born some two thousand years ago?
    Why a stable where beasts of burden move to and fro.
    What did heavenly hosts proclaim that night so rare.
    How come shepherds visited mankind’s answered prayer.

    Praise to God and Peace to men on whom His favor rests
    A little town predicted long ago that of King David blessed.
    Who could have imagined who this was and why He came,
    So many have looked for Him as someone who had fame.

    As the battle for the hearts and souls of Adams race persists
    The deceiver continues to make the truth totally remiss
    By blinding eyes and worrying minds, it increases everyday
    No one stops to even ask “What did this child have to say?”

    What happened and what did He go through in His years
    How do I know it’s not some story with superficial tears?
    What does this mean it’s not about Santa or presents new
    No it’s about God and a relationship that He wants with you.

    I’ve got to run, shop, buy, and then pay for all I acquire
    Wait, think! That’s what He did, pay your price required.
    To bring you back into the family, to give you new life.
    The child came to pay for you. His name is Jesus Christ!

    “May you have this relationship and enjoy a Merry Christmas!”

    Your Hearts Eyes Won’t Deliver Pillows!

    November 5

    Décor in one’s life is important. Architect, interior designers, and a host of others all providing valuable services in this area operate a thriving business community worldwide. Your décor not only provides the environment you live in everyday but it’s important for your business setting as well. Highly trained and skilled individuals can interview you and come up with some of the most intriguing and enhancing applications one has ever seen. They can be created perfect for your living environment; everything matches within the scope of design. Here’s where I differ with a lot of people who think a certain way and even some designers. Paintings don’t have to match the pillows, or anything else for that matter.

    While there was a struggle over the depiction and nudity of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, which was really about political power of the Papacy. None of the Bishops or the Nuns stood around and said; “gee that doesn’t really match the seat cushions”. No one at Christy’s Auctions stands up and says will you take my 30 million dollar paintings bid back? After looking at it, it isn’t the right shade of purple!”

    If you design that way, then shame on you. Go to the biggest discount store, local retail outlet and buy the poster that matches. Go have it framed and make sure the frame costs a gazillion dollars more than the stuff you got and put on your wall. That big red thing representing some flower or something means nothing. Understand that it won’t be talked about, won’t send messages, won’t make your life better, but it will match the pillow. You get what you pay for and what you get is nothing. Something that cost nothing means nothing and is nothing, but of course once again it matches the pillow. Remember when you went to school there were teachers who put stuff on the walls that stayed there all year round and after the first day you couldn’t tell anyone what it was, what it meant or let alone what it said. If that is what you want to live in and the environment which is supposed to be your resting place, your sanctuary, your retreat, then be assured you have retreated.

    Real, true and actual paintings are an expression of an artist’s creativity. If it buckles your knees, stops your heart, brings you to tears it’s worth everything. It is priceless. It’s priceless to you every day. It sends messages, gives you feedback, sets your compass, encourages you to go on and its beauty is unsurpassed. You don’t have to spend 30 million for it; you just have to find it! Even if it’s a copy of a Master piece you love and can’t live without, it’s worth every penny. You can find these paintings today. You just have to take time, engage and be determined and most importantly use all your sense and your hearts eyes first. Again, why should you spend any time doing this? Because you want your life better “every day”! These paintings are all over the internet as artists live, breathe and create paintings. These artists who have been given a gift by God to help us be, keep us stable, give us some peace, and live better paint wonderful expressions of their vision and their creativity. You can see it in their work. You can see it in their efforts; you can see how it is “the works of their hands”. As they hone their craft, develop their technique, and explore their territory set before them, you can participate with them. Join in with their journey. Make a friend. Be an encourager. Watch as a plant starts as a seed and blooms into the most beautiful flower you’ve ever laid your eyes on. Get an understanding of art and painting. Combine all that with a single or several artists, developing an understanding of them and build a relationship. Buy one or several of their works if you can find the ones that send your heart messages. If not those then ones that intrigue you and you think might age with you. Make sure you become part of their journey. You want your home décor or business décor to come alive and add something to you living better, healthier, and more positive, start your journey. Let the works become the focal points of your environments. Let them lift you beyond the daily grind and all of your décor will come alive and renew itself each and every day as you become more alive and renew yourself every day. People you invite over, friends and family will start to talk about subjects you never thought possible and it won’t be all about them.

    Pillows may match, but no painting should be thought of or designated for acquisition because it matches some pillow. You do the painting a great injustice and most of all you do yourself wrong. Paintings live, pillows don’t!
