Art of the Month
Lion of Judah
He is the source of everything. He created everything. In Him we have our being. In Dancing During the Storm, the first short story is about the creation. I think it is an appropriate place to start.
This month we will be reminded of the Lion of Judah so no matter where we go or what happens, we will be reminded of the one with the lion share of power.
Where Do You Find Hope?
How you approach 2020 determines what you hope in. Where do you find hope? Is it in yourself? Your family and friends? Your faith? Your job?
This year has shown us that those things are not reliable.
I find my hope in Jesus Christ. He has taught me that He is faithful and I can trust him. When everything around me is shaky and unreliable, daily time in His word reminds me He is constant.
This week, think about where your hope is. What are you relying on to get through the week? Where do you find hope?
Monday Morning Image
In place of still photography, I will replace it with video and sound to create thought provoking art for the month of August. I did the video work, but the music is by William Rosati, titled Sulking.
As these leave were floating in the water, it made me think of how this year is passing for some. We are the leaves just floating at whatever pace the water sets for us.

Book of the Month
Dancing During the Storm Vol 2
My goal is to educate, inform and entertain you with these stories. I am a native Texan who loves to travel the world. I tell stories that give hope but also make you think about where you are.
Dancing During the Storm is a collection of stories from projects that I have written over the years. They represent a desire to praise God despite the storms in my life. As the saying goes, you are going into a storm, in the middle of a storm or coming out of a storm. All of these stories tell of people who enjoy the life that God has given them and live it to the fullest. Each character has a storm in their life which they are going into, in the midst of, or coming out of.
The first story is about the first man to ever encounter a storm and the impact on his life.
The second story is about a court case that changed the lives of three of the women involved. A Victim. A Juror. A Judge. The impact of the trial changed their thinking, yet prepared them for all that life threw at them.
The third and fourth story is a science fiction tale of the journey of a young woman who searched for peace and quiet after spending the last two years on a planet that had to resemble hell. As she emerged from the storms of her life, she saw that things were not as easy as she thought they would be.
The fifth story is another science fiction story that showed a divided world on the brink of war and two women meet to decide the fate of all the women on the planet. This meeting determined if it would either draw everyone together or increase the divide. Would it be treason or slavery?
The sixth story two bullets changed the life of a man who had cruised through life on the back of rich parents and affluence.
Enjoy these fun, thought provoking stories, and hear the underlying intent.
