While you were gone, my sister had cancer, I can relate, how is your brother?

Clint is in complete remission (he has both types of Lymphoma), but I accredit it first to God, of course, and second to his diligence in taking all of the horrible chemo and radiation torture they put you through. He did that, went to work (as a state trooper), never complained (and I mean NEVER, not in front of me, anyway) and still managed to be a wonderful husband and father to his 3 children, and was also there for me when I needed him. He's my Hero... I admire him, look up to him and love him so very much. :) It's not a complete death sentence like some people think it is, but I know it can be horribly frightening... I was terrified we would lose him. How is your sister doing, now?

She got through it too, hope it never returns.

Yeah it's total crap now. And what's with her eyes being so perfect and stuff? I can't decide if I hate the flowers or the hair the most. :\

Yay, blue, I gotta show this to my friend, she'll love it!!! AND HOW THE **** CAN THIS BE TOTAL CRAP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? IT'S AWESOME!!!

I thought I commented. It's like ideal pop art from the 70's. I could see this on my wall. I love all the blues, swirlies and clever idea with the bulbs. I'd hate to carry one that's broken though.

I love this. :O

beautiful, elegant wonderful work

How did I miss this? It's so lovely! ;o)

Your speckly strokes make me smile. As does your cute scarecrow :)
I love your muted colors too, they go well together.

I seethings like this on sale during halloween. Cute.

if your feeling is as you say, maybe you can be as forgiving as he was...?
I do not know. It takes ALOT of concentration for me to find answers I need that way.
I wish you luck, nevertheless, in whatever path you choose.
All I really remember of my particular religion is reading the entire bible when I was about 7.
Since, I have had my own son and now they have much more comprehensible bibles :)
So, I took the wrong rd., nevertheless... and this is what I got. ok? Just think about that and go with your own personal instinct, that's my opinion. Throws hands up.....;)

the most important thing to remember, in my opinion..is to always remember He will never give up on you.
Many things are difficult, if not impossible in this realm, to understand about the mind of God. That's where Faith comes in....and trust.
The timing of God is perfect. I believe this now more than I ever have. Just always know that He loves you, and created you to be who you are, and has a plan for your life.

When my son was O D' ing on Crack and Heroin at age 14, I could have screamed where were YOU GOD! But, it was Him who saved his life. Him that carried ME, too, through that hell. Now, 8 years later, my son is fully committed to being clean/sober and has turned his will and life over to the care of God. He says he's the happiest he's ever been in his life since making the decision to serve Him.

I believe in miracles. The impossible becomes possible, with God. I hope you find your way back to Him, too.

The particular passage you are speaking about was set in the time of the Church at Corinith. This was a church just starting out. In this church, the women sat on one side of the church and the men sat on the other. When something was said that the women didn't understand they would call out to their husbands and ask them what it meant. That was when Paul wrote this in the bible, addressed to this church. That was how my preacher once explained it to me and it certainly makes sense. If you will study the Bible a little more, you will find that there are many women in the Bible that preached the gospel. I think one of them was Phoebe. I hope that helps you some. Please don't give up on God! God won't let go of you if you will look to Him. :o)

Love Drug.
Pretty.
;D

They look almost like decorative glass apples the way they gleam. Beautiful.

nice colors

That's really awesome. The forms look very solid, like rock formations.

I see faces and forms, then I look again and see cave walls and stalactites, then I look again and see faces and forms on cave walls and stalactites. :)

Wow, it's beautiful!

Yeah that show creeped me out. Especially the ending with that Whirlpool. That is the show with the whirlpool at the end right?

thats very cool

I don't remember Dr. Who that well, this is awesome though, as usual and so's the spacy song :)

Congrats on the win,,this was my fave

Beautiful entry! Congratulations on this win. You deserved it.

this is lovely and so deserving of first place, congrats!

this is really wicked

Awesome style, very well done. I will have to look at Fliker for some ref pics, never thought of looking there. Although I could try, but never achieve the greatness that you have here even looking at a reference. Too old to give up now though. LOL

totally cool, awesome work!
