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. /

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.

This tree root is on the northern periphery of our property. We’ve lived here for over 35 years, and it’s been here all that time, in exactly the same state you see it here. I marvel at its perfect heart shape and think it’s a little note from God to remind me of his undying love. I borrowed the title from the refrain of a hymn written by Father John Foley, S.J. / Here are the lyrics of that hymn: Dwelling Place / by John Foley, SJ I fall on my knees to the Father of Jesus / The Lord who has shown us, the glory of God. May He in His love give us strength for our living / The strength of His Spirit, the glory of God. May Christ find a dwelling place of faith in our hearts / May our lives be rooted in love, rooted in love. May grace and peace be yours in God our Father / And in His son. May Christ find a dwelling place of faith in our hearts / May our lives be rooted in love, rooted in love.

Acrylic on canvas Mat 18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee.. Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! The all seeing eye – symbol of a sinister elite running the world and keeping the population in blind ignorance, turning humanity into cattle, convincing man he is the son of beasts. If you do not believe their is a sinister force overseeing this earth, with politicians and presidents as mere frontmen and pawns in their game, then it is time to open your eyes, time to look beyond what they taught you in school and away from what your righteous leaders and mass media are feeding us. / The all seeing eye is a powerful symbol of a global elite, handed down from ancient Egypt, a nation that was an abomination in the eyes of the lord, his cry to the faithful is ‘come out of Egypt’ yet as can be seen on the dollar bill and on countless apparent Christian relics and in media propaganda, the world is under the spell of Babylon and egypt. / The eye on the top of the pyramid is a great blasphemy, as Satan can only mimic the creator, so does this sign mimic God, proclaiming itself the all knowing, the all seeing, the light, and so on, it takes Christ’s place as the capstone. / The problem for believers in a conspiracy who are atheists, and there are many, is that the highest force they will ever know is a human elite, a power they know deep down will never be removed by any amount of people power or public exposure. / But believers in God know that no matter the power of a secret world order, there is a force incomprehensibly higher than them. The farthest boundaries of our knowledge and advancement are but nought to him, we can look in telescopes to the ends of the galaxies ,but to him we and all knowledge are perhaps tiny elements packed like sardines in a tin. And one day the higher being will reach down and pull back the lid of that tin. And when that sky rolls away from overhead we will be exposed to something unimaginable, something that no painter, no psychedelic drug, or Hollywood director can dare to imagine. / And for the believers in Christ, there is the certainty that he is coming back to take his rightful place, no eye on a pyramid will prevent this. A glorious and terrifying future lies ahead for this earth, and there is only one who can save you, and that is Christ. Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

YOU HAVE THE LORD ON YOUR SIDE AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE OK !!!!!!!! ITS ALL FOR HISSSSSSS GLORY! Thats all you have to realize…........ Thats it…...... Just listen and believe…......

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
In Christ alone will I glory / Though I could pride myself / In battles won / For I’ve been blessed beyond measure / And by His strength alone, I overcome / Oh, I could stop and count successes / Like diamonds in my hands / But these trophies could not equal / To the grace, by which I stand In Christ alone / I place my trust / And find my glory / In the power of the cross / In every victory / Let it be said of me / My source of strength / My source of hope / Is Christ alone In Christ alone will I glory / For only by His grace / I am redeemed / And only His tender mercy / Could reach beyond my weakness / To my need / Now I seek no greater honor / Than just to know Him more / And to count my gains but losses / And to the glory of my Lord In Christ alone / I place my trust / And find my glory / In the power of the cross / In every victory / Let it be said of me / My source of strength / My source of hope / Is Christ alone Recorded By: Michael English ©2008 BMoore Photography & Design…...................................................... / www.bamagirl38.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Acrylic on canvas. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. Hebrews 9:27,28 / /
Abstract acrylic on canvas. Inspired by Hebrews 4:14-16 An invitation from God. We should never feel uncomfortable or find it difficult to approach God. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. /
Acrylic on stretched canvas. Please view large and if you feel so inclined, please read the entire chapter. Ephesians 1 Inspired by: Ephesians 1:13,14 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. /
PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS. I am an Irish artist and missionary working with extreme poor in Africa and India. In this one camp 52 children suffer from Intestinal worm infection, adn te death rate is very high. This is due to lack of clean water. The is Akuti an Indian gypsy girl aged 11 years old.. Her name means princess and she really is a Gypsy princess. but she like almost all Nara_Kar-Avars gypsy children are treated with contempt, rejection and denied even the basics of life. To be born a gypsy means under Hindu religion to be in the lowest cast system. Known as outcasts and treated as untouchables, Akuti and many millions like her face a life with little hope. She has never gone to school as her parents barely earn enough to feed her, and cannot afford the £70-$130 per year they need for school fees, uniform and text books. My passion and mission in life is to not just Pray and preach to these precious people, but to provide clothing, and the cost of school fees, medical care and provide tools to help them. Philadelphia Mission is a small underfunded, yet effective British charity doing just that in India and Africa. We need you my friend to help us do much more. Become part of this mission today. Sow a seed into the lief of Akuti and other children in real need. ALL MONEY RAISED FROM SALE OF MY ART, DONATED ART AND DONATIONS MADE VIA OUR CHARITY WEBSITE, GOES TO HELP THESE PRECIOUS CHILDREN.

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
As Christians, our hearts break for those who do not know Christ as their Savior and because of this we always keep them in our prayers night and day. Phillipians 3:18,19 For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.
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.
