Until the Day Dawns!

2 Peter 1:19

Isaiah 55:10-11

1 Peter 1:8

With His Spirit He Sought Us...

Sweet Dying Lamb | Jamie Owens © 1973 Lexicon Music, Inc.

With His own hand He made us;
With His love He forgave us;
With His mercy He saved us when we'd wandered away.
With His own Word He taught us;
With His Spirit He sought us;
With His own blood He bought us when we'd all gone astray.

Oh sing praise to the Savior, Oh sing praise to His name
O precious Jesus my Savior, He's forever the same.
I will sing hallelujah to the sweet dying Lamb Who is risen triumphant
And is coming again.

1 Peter 2:9

Isaiah 35:1-2

I love this text but this design seriously needs redoing in Illustrator; nevertheless, I wanted to post this original version:

2 Corinthians 12:9

Self-explanatory...a few weeks ago I preached on this text:

1 Peter 3:8

Here's an old freehand graphic I scanned and tweaked:

Once upon a warm summer weeknight, we held a liturgical celebration of JS Bach; here's the bulletin cover I designed...

Here's a collage I did in my very first ever semester of Photoshop; some time ago I posted it over on city delights. Seems as if it also belongs here on my faith journey/testimony site, since I so tend to ride fences about almost everything. Usually urban ones, of course...

Lions Lambs Eagles Doves

This blog-title happened because I remembered a greeting card (I think) with a quote from Weston Priory about the lion lying down with the lamb. Thinking it might be from a Weston Priory song, I tried doing an internet search, but found nothing. Most likely it's on a Christmas card I've saved, so when I find the card I'll amend this blog with the exact passage.

Well there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove

One better world
One better world
One better world

Someway – Somehow – Some place – Somewhere
Let the lion lie down with the lamb
Someway – Somehow – Some place – Somewhere
Don't use the color of the skin to judge a man

On the news this past Monday, the Rt. Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori, the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop-Elect essentially said she could form a relationship with just about anyone through dialogue and conversation. But that's what I'd always imagined about myself, and it had happened close to countless times—but what about now? Oh, I know, "overdeveloped skills in reconciliation, accommodation and peacemaking," but the world would have no social workers, pastors, therapists, teachers or much of anyone else in that kind of direct service profession were some of us not somewhat codependent! Before writing codependent I hesitated and came close to saying "people-addicted," but instead I consulted Microsoft Word's synonym list and found mutually dependent, mutually inter-reliant and mutually supporting. Those words sound just fine to me!

Monday we formally presented our videos; Tuesday we started Flash. I've learned some Flash before, so I was ready to do something really fun. Here's my first Flash movie, presented as a GIF:
