in my disgrace of looking in the mirror at my face. / i up the pace and go with haste, that i may leave this place. / go without a trace, be erased, afterlife embraced / no longer in the chase, moving on from lost faith / these are the thoughts of a basket case dreams of death and silence riddle me / visions of breath and science belittle me / because what cannot be explained doesn’t even have a explanation / based on fake facts of the past / history is a lie, the pictures i’ve seen were painted… / just like today’s painters can paint imaginations they’ve seen / but that does not make the painting, a painting of something real! / my imagination riddles me with such questions, / as if, if there is “A” god / why would he let others worship another “GOD”? / and where did this god come from? / it/he/she/whatever had to start from something! / blah the reminisce of my mind is a scary place… so i shall right about it

I am entering the painting SING Redeeming Love, Watercolor, 9×12 ”, in the 8th International Art Competition sponsored by the Museum of Church History and Art. The theme for the competition this year is “Remembering the Great Things of God,”and according to their website,”artists are encouraged to create works of art reflecting the theme and title of the exhibition…This theme is drawn from scriptures that teach the importance of acknowledging and remembering God’s works, promises, and covenants to His children. Artists can depict—but are not limited to—ideas, stories, people, places, doctrines, beliefs, scriptures, teachings, historical events, religious values, and Church, family, and individual experiences in Latter-day Saint life.” In SING Redeeming Love, Missionaries sing a song of joy, love, and redemption as they seek to find wandering sheep in the desert. As lost sheep are found, they begin to feel joy as they enter the way. Those who remember the great mercy of the Savior for them are filled with the love of Christ, feeling compelled to sing redeeming love with joy that cannot be contained. They desire to share the Gospel of Christ with everyone, that they might also be filled with joy through the Redemption and love of Christ. This also refers Alma 5:9, 26; 26:13 and is a reminder and an invitation to feel to”’sing the song of redeeming love’ and mean it as much now as in any past year and as much tomorrow as today!” (Spencer W. Kimball, “‘The Uttermost Parts of the Earth’,” Ensign, Jul 1979, 2).

Precious friends, I give God thanks for you all, and your prayers and support. You are so precious to me and the lord. While I was praying early this morning for each of you, as I doe each day, The holy Spirit allowed me to feel a members pain and the lord laid it on my heart to share with you the words that you are about to read. This is for someone here, and I do not know, but the Lord Jesus knows. I pray it will bless all, but especially the one whom God sends it to. [Gods personal message to someone he knows]. Zephaniah 3:17-20 [Common English Bible].The LORD your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love.” (18) The LORD has promised: Your sorrow has ended, and you can celebrate. (19) I will punish those who mistreat you. I will bring together the lame and the outcasts, then they will be praised, instead of despised, in every country on earth. (20) I will lead you home, and with your own eyes you will see me bless you Then you will be famous everywhere on this earth. I, the LORD, have spoken! 1. As a minister of God, I have often counselled Gods children who have come to me with all sorts of problems and Challenges. One of the challenges that was most common is that they feel guilt and condemnation. / Their thoughts were filled with guilt over what they had done in their past, someone they hurt, something they said or done. One precious child of God would wake up at nights with fear that God was angry with her. Another would feel he was being judged by God because he was always depressed about his past. satan would like all of us to think and feel that way. But you need to understand something. God is Love and he loves you. God has spoken to you today in Zephaniah Ch3. Does that sound like God is angry with you his child. NO!. / One of the strategies satan uses is to get you to feel shame, guild and worthless because of your past. I knew a dear friend who would not pray as they felt God was angry because of the things they did in the past. They would cower and feel so unclean. He said that he knew God had forgiven him, but he still felt shamed and unworthy. Beloved, here Gods minister now as I speak to you under his anointing and in the power of his Holy Spirit. If that is you, and I know someone feels like this or similar, God has something to say to you personally right now. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. When you asked Jesus into your heart / He washed away every sin, every wrong, and you became a brand new person. You became a brand new person. Notice that in 2 Corinthians 5:17, it clearly says that the old things have passed away. God does not see your sins or wrongs, as they have been washed away in the Blood of Jesus. God does not remember them anymore. Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Here God is talking about his children. Now before this was fulfilled, the price for Sin had to be paid in full, before God could forget their sins and wrongs. Jesus Gods son paid tat price in Full. God sees you through the finished work of his son Jesus. He sees the Blood of Jesus applied to your heart. He has forgiven you and does not remember your sinful past. When you received Jesus as saviour, you became a new person. Now you have a new father, and you have the DNA of God. You are brand new. Often satan will try and bring to your thoughts things that you did and then get you to think or focus on them. When he does this just tell him, “I have no sinful past, as the Lord Jesus you thought you could destroy, rose from the dead and his blood paid the price for my forgiveness, and that sacrifice was excepted by God, and the blood has washed away all my sinful past from Gods memory and mine”. Tell satan, you are born again and Jesus lives in you! / There is no need to feel unworthy, shame or guilt. / / 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. / The Blood of Jesus never stops working and is all powerful. Precious friend, See yourself as God sees you. He sees you righteous in the righteousness of Jesus. He sees you as his son/daughter. You have the same father as Jesus. Hallelujah! / There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. [Romans 8:1] / / Colossians 1:12-14 [Amplified Bible] Giving thanks unto the Father, of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has made us meet [Qualified] us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: (13) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath [translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son]: (14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Now you know for sure that God in Christ Jesus has made you worthy to be his child, and that you are forgiven. There is no condemnation to you. You’re a new creation. Hallelujah! No more need to ever feel guilt or shame. You now can come boldly to your Father, knowing he has forgotten your sinful past and welcomes you to his presence as his dear child. I will close with Zephaniah 3-17-20 our opening scripture. The LORD your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love.” (18) The LORD has promised: Your sorrow has ended, and you can celebrate. (19) I will punish those who mistreat you. I will bring together the lame and the outcasts, then they will be praised, instead of despised, in every country on earth. (20) I will lead you home, and with your own eyes you will see me bless you / Amen.

RETURN TO MY SITE My name is Eric Snyder. I began photography in High School, learning some darkroom and shooting for my yearbook, but it wasn’t until my last few years of college that I began to take it seriously. I bought a Nikon N50 and with it, I planned to take over the world. As a painter I was very politically charged, using the human form as metaphor to make my statement. Once I picked up the camera, I transitioned with the same mindset. Shooting nudes to boldly make socio-political statements and continue as my “Mirror on America”. As I added the computer into the mix (which took the logical place of my experiments with sandwiching negs on the enlarger), the process became less “organic” while the work became more so. Still making a statement when a statement is needed to be made, my artWork took a turn into the more spiritual. My inspiration grew from the United States to the world, drawing from world religions and legends and folklore and heroes. Pieces of Zeus hung next to pieces of Jesus hung next to pieces of Bachhus hung next to pieces of George Washington. And none of them to express my likes or dislikes of the heroes/gods or the people who followed them; purely a reflection of the existence and the story behind said hero/god. Over time, my work went in an even more “Nature direction”. Making what I called “Portscapes”, which were horizontal portraits as you would typically take as a photographer shooting a headshot with a landscape scene weaving around/through the figure. This work was the bi-product of two factors. The first being the fact that I had graduated from college and needed to make money from my photography to afford all the cool “toys” out there to go with my camera so I began shooting portraits (glam shots, senior pictures, fashion shots for models’ portfolios, engagement pictures, pets, you name it) as well as weddings and events. This changed my low light black and white artsy capturing of the human form into something more concerned with temperature of light and lack of shadow and capturing the PERSON… not just the form. I think some cultures are right and there truly IS a piece of each model’s soul in my work. The second factor came from the shift from socio-political to world religion. With the more spiritual places needed, I was shooting vast landscapes and beautiful old buildings and truly artsy “outdoors” shots. I had never been a landscape painter, but my computer photography required the landscapes, so I began enjoying shooting them, even macro nature of flowers and spiderwebs and the like. The two changes caused for some interesting studies in surrealism. Some gorgeous portraits in fantasy settings. I soon spent more time in front of a computer and less time in front of the backdrop and began shooting less and less models as my web businesses began to flourish. I began to think of the world as a painter again and with that, my landscapes became more of portraits as I cropped in closer and closer and shot more and more macro, until the rusty metal run off tunnel jutting from the mossy ground pouring rainwater onto the slick and shiny rocks became a study of rust a la one of those “can you guess what this is?” children’s mind games. And my studies of the human form returned to being more artsy. I began to savor the shadows once more and shot the entire body as well as cropping in on various parts. And a very cool thing happened this year when I found the time to begin creating once more. The human forms became more PART of the nature element instead of just being IN an environment. My work became abstract studies of nature and form and texture and less about the nature element OR the human element, but how they came together like a puzzle. More of an emulsion than a suspension, they were no longer oil and water, but varying pigments of paint which I mixed and blended. My new work is more like painting than anything I have done without a brush (and maybe more painterly than work I’ve done WITH a brush), both in the process and the product. I had been feeling the need to get back to painting for years now and even began to do so a few months prior to beginning on this new work. But as I began the new pieces, the need to paint subsided due to the fact that this new work FEELS so much like I am painting. Elements are coming together as they wish, I am painting over them in various ways, altogether, I am gaining the joy of painting while still enjoying the joy of photography. :> / e
