Art, life, faith...

Imagery and art are compelling. I often wish that I knew how to capture the emotion and depth like a skilled painter or photographer. I sometimes wish I had the ability to design and create or dance and sing. I appreciate some of the great movies that have recently been released. The images that they capture and the stories that they tell have been riveting. I love great stories, told with complex characters and story line that dazzle. I love the imagination and the ability, of some, to express an impression in ways that incite new feelings and deeper understandings.

There is nothing better than an image captured… I know that God often communicates God’s joy and sorrow through images. Pictures, movies, paintings, doodles, dances and melodies are all blueprints of pain and bliss. They remind me that we all share a common humanity. Though we are spectacularly unique… we are alike.

Check out my sister-in-law’s website at:

Also, I always check out: The Week in Pictures. Amazing…
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3842331
It captures images from across the world. It’s always been my favorite way to stay in touch with current events. These images make me laugh, cry and hope.
