The last five years, with my beautiful wife, have been very adventurous, to say the least. We have traveled to more states than I had done so in the previous 34 years of life. We love the same things, like road trips, the arts, great food and most of all our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. My business direction has changed three times in the past five years from painter/faux finisher/finish carpenter to decorative artist and now "Abscape Artist". For two years I have been working on abstract and landscape paintings, with some sales, along the way, but since March of this year it has exploded! I am in a Laguna Beach gallery, full time, and this month a gallery in downtown LA.

We also started an in home young adult Bible study three years ago and it has grown stronger every year. They are a great group of 18-23 year olds. We also became the junior high directors for Centerpoint Church in Colton CA two years ago and have seen His fruit there also. Every year we get to see a great group of junior high students move up to high school and another new group of students move into Switch Ministries (JR High). Our lives are beyond busy they, are in the realm of SUPER BUSY, kind of like superman who changes roles on the blink of an eye. We have many roles that all point to one common goal, IMPACT 4 CHRIST! My reason for choosing the name of this blog was based on my purpose for life. I want to love HIM and point others to HIM. This is what we do, we were born to do this and no matter how some might try to change us, it is in our blood.

We had a wonderful meeting yesterday that ignited our souls and fanned us a new flame. Our shepherd gave us clear encouragement and direction and nothing feels better than to be affirmed in what you're doing. Too often we are so focused on everyone else and we get discouraged. Jesus sees this and he sends a blessing our way.

Adda has been that to me for the past five years and will be until time ends. She is amazing and if you have never had the chance to meet her, you should! You will receive a WARM HUG and a BEAUTIFUL SMILE, but most of all you will receive the LOVE OF JESUS!

On Friday March 13th I found myself exploding with frustration!

One of my art pieces that I've been working on was not going well.

Another was finished and while I was taking a photo of it, it fell!

Work was also slow for my business which adds to it.

So...

Adda and I went to San Clemente to get away!

I was not running from my problems, just needed time away.

When I'm at home I have the studio calling me and

the office is calling me to do some work.

No one is actually calling me, it is my mind.

There are more channels than my Dish Network provides! :)

Anyway I sat there looking at the Sun set over the Pacific

Ocean as wave after wave came upon the sand.

Then the sweet whisper of Jesus said,

"Like waves to a beach

is my love for you!"

Waves never stop flowing on the beach and

His love never stops flowing to us!

Looking towards the sun

refocused me on what is important!

HE IS!

The next day we sat there looking at the same view

until the cleaning lady "had" to be in the room!

Then we did our regular walk through Laguna Beach,

where I met some artist who encouraged me.

So when I got home on Saturday night I went into my studio and

there it was a finished piece of art that I just lived.

Here's a link if you are interested in seeing the piece.

I think I will be back for a while!

EV & ADDA in the Garden of Eden 

Fresh

Your heart is soft as dancing leaves

my warm felt touch...fall to your knees.

Your eyes are moist like mist in Spring

wash pain away...cold winters clean.

Your hand grips tight as vine to a wall

faith, hope and love...I give to all.

Your heart beats fast as you hear my voice

calling to my love...make me your choice!

This moment passes in the blink of an eye

to spend it with you...for this I had to die.

-

Look in my eyes you can see it there

an eternity of love...that we will share.

I'm with you now so leave the past

our future together...a clear bright glass.

Your every need is at my sight

I'll comfort you...peace be at rest tonight.

As you go this day remember my love

I'm praying for you...on my throne above.

Abide with me and the fears will go

my Light in thee...everyone shall know!
