The jumbled rubbish of a dream."

Oliphant

I consider myself to be like Oliphant.
I may not look like Oliphant.
But that is not the point.

Oliphant liked to create spiritual music.
I am not as clever or as gifted as Oliphant.
My artworks are mere attempts at creating an image.
My spiritual input relies only on the reliable..
the Scriptures...

Acts Chapter 26:18
The Lord speaks to Saul re his future role...
"....To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan unto God,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them
which are sanctified by faith that is in me."
