When I sit around the studio and work on my painting, my process is very simple, or so it seems. My work is faith based and as a Christian, I do have a goof every once in a while, that does irk me. In reading this morning Paul’s teaching from Jesus in Galatians, Paul reminds me that the old Jewish Law does not apply, as such, in the current life, since Jesus came, and the fruits of listening to the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. By living now by the Holy Spirit’s power lead’s me in every part of my life. I have a few rough spots still after all this time, can you imagine that, still need to go through the refiners fire, yea I go by the grace of God. Hmmmm, just doing God’s work seems to be the best medicine to right my ship and not to worry about honors or popularity, they are very short lived, and can cause jealousy and hard feelings.

Best get back to painting today and to bless others, do for other as I would want done unto me, and just to live in peace and harmony.
