LATEST OIL PAINTING ON WOOD

I have these wood plaques that Dave and I hang outside the house as a welcome sign. My goal is to have one for every season so that I can change them up. These are my latest.

SOME NEW POINTE PICS THAT I HAVE BEEN HOLDING ONTO

I've had these pics for awhile. This is the first opportunity I've had to get them off the camera.

FINAL PICS FROM NEW POINTE CANTON MURAL

Couldn't have got this done without these two ladies.

I forgot to get final pics of the pond side. I'll have to remedy that.

BEAUTIFUL SKIES

Bonnie Bixler
Bonnie's Fish. When we projected this fish on the wall we noticed that because of the curve of the wall the fish became distorted. We decided to embrace that distortion, because it gave the fish the illusion of being seen through an aquarium glass. Bonnie successfully completed the illusion.

CAT AND DOLPHIN PLAY

Although this is not my cat, it reminds me of our tabby Turbo who went to cat Heaven a couple of years ago. The similarities are strong. Precious.

GRUMPY TREE

Remember the trees in the Wizard of Oz that attacked Dorthy on the way to Oz. I came upon one on my walk today. He was not happy about being photographed.

HUMMINGBIRD WITH BRAINFREEZE?

If it's possible, I think my hummingbird got brainfreeze from my feeder when it was cold out. I saw him at the feeder. Next thing I know, he was on the cement on his back. I tried to pick him up to put him in a towel to keep him warm. He laid there for a moment. Then he got up and flew away.

PICK YOUR BATTLES

A person who enjoys working with Adobe needs children who like to get their picture taken. Unfortunately I do not have that luxury. Kevin was going to drop off some resumes. But, I wouldn't let him out the door before I took some pictures. It took me ten tries just to get the frown off his face. Anyhow, this was the result.

OUT OF THE WORKING WILDERNESS

For thirty-two years Dave has been in the working wilderness while God chiseled away at him, refining him through the maize of grueling factory work. Ready or not, God has opened the door for something Dave has longed for. Specifically, God has opened the door for a job at New Pointe Community Church. The only thing that would be more poignant would be if he had worked forty years in the factory. But, let's not even go there.

KEVIN IN NEW POINTE'S WORSHIP BAND FOR THE WAREHOUSE

KEVIN SUBS IN NEW POINTE'S WAREHOUSE WORSHIP BAND

Kevin's friend Nate who plays in New Pointe's Warehouse Worship Band was scheduled to be on tour with his other band last Sunday. So Kevin got to sub for him. I had a "that's my boy" opportunity to video their set. Don't forget to turn off the ipod music before you start this video. Otherwise, they'll play simultaneously.

SEABIRD LANDS AT NEWPOINTE

Dave, Kevin, and I were priviledged to volunteer at another awesome event at NewPointe Community Church. HSM at NewPointe sponsored a concert event with Seabird, an excellent band whose genre is described as alternative/indie/rock. Several local artists combined talents to open for the concert including Steve Lowry from the band Third From First and NewPointe's own Danny Bunnelle. If I remember right, I believe Seabird has played at Alive and will be playing there again this year. In a spare moment I took the opportunity to snap some photos.

HAVING FUN AT VELOCITY

These are pictures of Velocity First Grade Girls along with Velocity Director, Matt Beres, and student teacher, Samantha Schaar. Velocity is so much fun. I enjoy working under Matt's leadership. I also enjoy working with Samantha . She's a blessing. The girls adore her. In addition, I love this class of girls. There's no lack of sugar and spice in this bunch.

PRETTY SKY

DO UNTO OTHERS

This months memory verse in Velocity. Demonstrated by Elena, Sarah, Aleia, Lauren, Maggie, and Faith. Aren't they adorable!

NEW SONG ADDED TO PLAYLIST

I added Everything by Lifehouse to my play list. I love that song.

HELLO TO POLAND AND THE NETHERLANDS

We had an ice storm that covered several states. I ran out and took a picture of the ice covered tree.


We had some visitors yesterday. It's really cold out and snow covered. The geese found some green grass. The deer wanted to see what was so interesting. He didn't find anything. So, he soon left. The geese stayed all day.
