Courtyard ponder
the confused, wonder.
Dissolved now..
scales dissipated.

Pupils open!
Power in the grave,
as false words she throws,
dissolved now.

A quote by Tennyson..
"Gossip is often a lot of rubbish.
The jumbled rubbish of a dream."

Proverb 11:13
'A talebearer revealeth secrets:
but he that is of a faithful spirit
concealeth the matter.'

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."

Philippians 3:13-14
'Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do,

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.'

Jonah 4:2
' So he prayed to the Lord, and said,
"Ah, Lord was not this what I said when I was still in my country?
Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish;
for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God,
slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness,
One who relents from doing harm."

Patti..young girl

The good Lord gave me a dream to show me I was in error...
I was so grateful to him.
And the next evening I stumbled on this scripture....

Psalm 19:12
"Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults."
