A torch, a bible, a cross…....and one imporant fact. Jesus loves you.
Taken from my blog: I was going through some paintings in my studio and stumbled upon this one that I had done some time ago. I had initially put it aside calling it a “WIP” and had fully intended to go back and do more work on it but never did. I’d shown it as a WIP to some arteeeest friends who had liked it very much “as is” and then just rolled it up and forgot about it. It’s huge…not exactly sure off hand how large but it’s on unstretched canvas….I’d say about 4ft X 5ft. What this piece represents is (and I remember painting it during one of those dry spiritual periods when I was trying desperately to pray but just couldn’t find the words) our prayers, which are sometimes nothing more than moans and groans….but are interpreted for us by the Holy Spirit giving us a direct and uninterrupted line to our Father. This happens often during our times of spiritual emptiness when we are reaching out to God and the words just don’t come. For those of you who are Christians, you will know this scripture from the Bible: Romans 8:26 (New International Version) “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.” Anyway, when I pulled the painting out this morning, I decided that just as Jesus said on the cross, “it is finished”.....and would like to share it with you all. Never stop talking to God, He always hears….even the moans and groans! Be Blessed. /
These woods whisper so loudly, and grow with such a brute force unto me, that no matter what, all I can do is to retreat to contemplation… History and facts: / “The Convent of Capuchos of Sintra is one of the many examples of 16th century religious piety in Portugal and became known for the extreme simplicity of its construction. Built on a very small scale with cells and dormitory lined with cork and a chapel whose vault is formed by rock itself. / The Convent followed the principle of universal fraternity and brotherhood of the Franciscan monks. The inhabitants belonged to the Province of Arrábida (South of Lisbon), of the Order of Friars Minor Regular and Observant (Grey Friars). José Ramos

EDIT 10/08: Fixed the kerning and position. More tee-shirt colours available. Bigger type. You know, one day I was thinking… Pastors and anyone in ministry definitely have a divine job. I mean, that’s what Jesus was/is when He came down 2K years ago… He was/is the Good Shephard. But what about me? what about a little ol’ designer. Then, like a revelation from heaven, I thought “but wait, God IS a designer. He is THEE Designer.” Think about it, Genesis chp1, what did He do, He created. He used His creativity to design all that we know now to be true. He used colors, textures, sizes, scents, flavors to design everything. All we did was name stuff afterwards (ask Adam). In conclusion, the Graphic Design occupation is the closest thing to divinity as are the Cherubins in Heaven. So designers, don’t fret, we get our creativity from the Big Boss. — / Angel A.

And if you ever need a shoulder to lean on…I can gaurantee that Bonita will be the first to give hers!! This is for you girl…LOVE YOU!!! The image I would like to nominate…one of her gorgeous sunsets” Voice Of Truth / Recorded by : Casting Crowns Oh what I would do to have / The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I’m in / Onto the crashing waves To step out of my comfort zone / To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is / And He’s holding out his hand But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me / Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed / The waves they keep on telling me / Time and time again. ‘Boy, you’ll never win!’ / “You’ll never win” But the voice of truth tells me a different story / And the voice of truth says “Do not be afraid!” / And the voice of truth says “This is for My glory” / Out of all the voices calling out to me / I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth Oh what I would do to have / The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant / With just a Sling and a stone / Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors / Shaking in their armor / Wishing they’d have had the strength to stand But the giant’s calling out my name and he laughs at me / Reminding me of all the times I’ve tried before and failed / The giant keeps on telling me / Time and time again “boy, you’ll never win! / “You’ll never win” But the stone was just the right size / To put the giant on the ground / And the waves they don’t seem so high / From on top of them looking down / I will soar with the wings of eagles / When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus / Singing over me I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Here is my utmost. This is were life ends and death begins. It’s were death ends and life begins. In one picture is pain, suffering, injustice, judgment, helplessness, betrayal and the deepest sorrow; and yet there is an equal amount of hope, tenderness, compassion, forgiveness and healing. Here is a painting which captures the sacrificial love of Christ on behalf of helpless humanity, born and unborn. Philippians 2:6 says, “Christ who, existing in the form of G-d, counted not the being on an equality with G-d a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.”
The passionate love of Christ is shown for His beloved Church.

In the heaven…
Acrylic on canvas. For anyone who is struggling today as I am…God, help us to persevere. This is my prayer today. Hebrews 10:35-39 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, “He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.” But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. Hebrews Chapter 10
Keeping the Trinity alive…
Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, / but weep for yourselves, and for your children. / For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, / Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that bare not, / and the breasts that gave not suck. / Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; / and to the hills, Cover us. / For if they do these things in the green tree, / what shall be done in the dry? (The Gospel of Marcion)
Acrylic on canvas. Inspired by Ephesians 4 – Unity In The Body Of Christ Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
