Traveling companion
It’s a beautiful evening on the National Mall and Jesus keeps reminding me he’s near.
Fixing the flow
Watching the rain outside, I pray that this solution will work.
Soft light, hard surfaces
The effect of the thrown light in the gallery is dazzling.
Lord of the Layers
I hadn’t expected my journals to elicit a challenge.
The treasure book
If your house caught fire, what one object would you try to save?
What -- the blazes!
Though I can’t find the trail, the white marks guide me.
A window to the kingdom
The piano is an unlikely place to have a revelation about art.
The fences in our way
What barriers keep us from seeing God in the world around us?
Joy unleashed
The sign before me has me asking, “What does it take to be joyful?”
A nice ring to it
Waiting for me in the ringing chamber are ropes, draped in the air like a giant arachnid.
Floor time
Playing with a toddler is giving me a fresh view of faith.
Art that invites
The shiny surface above me is like a living Escher drawing.
