Kind Words

     The comments from those I seek to embrace strengthen my resolve, to in some small measure, imprint the lives of all who I will meet with God’s truths. I am truly humbled by what follows…

“It was good to hear from you again. I appreciate your kind offer to gift CBN the use of one of your paintings and for giving us the opportunity to consider your artwork. They are very beautiful. I pray that our Lord will continue to bless you and your ministry.”

“Your generous heart and God given talents are having a far-reaching affect on people. The art is inspirational and influences all that see it, but your willingness to allow us to offer it on television reaches the poor and hungry. Your generosity may be the inspiration for one of the recipients of a food and personal hygiene box that will lead to their future success.”

“The painting you sent is absolutely beautiful. What a talent our Lord has given you and I want to thank you for sharing it with me. I have it hanging in my office for me to enjoy every day.

“I saw the article in The Blade newspaper concerning your faith and artwork and was deeply moved, just seeing the paintings in black and white. The words of Deuteronomy 6: 1-8 have always “hit home”, hearing tangible reminders of the great love God has for us. Artwork is one of many ways to convey our faith, visually, and can often open up a discussion of who Christ is and what we believe.”

“I just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed your article in The Blade newspaper. We are very proud of the work you are doing. A year ago I remember you telling us you are on a new journey but never elaborated. We would like to get together with you to purchase a print of one of your paintings.

Our theme in our house is centered around God and it would give us great honor to buy and display one of your works of art. Hope all is well and may God bless you and your family.”
