Protea

"The Lord preserveth the simple;
I was brought low and He helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling."
Psalm 116 6-8

Arranging the Flowers

"The Lord upholds all who fall,
And raises up all those who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look
expectantly to You,
And You give them their food in due season.
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing."
Psalm 145: 14-16

View from the Pre-Vue

"Trust ye not in a friend, put ye
not confidence in a guide: keep the
doors of thy mouth from her that lieth
in thy bosom.
For the son dishonoureth the father,
the daughter riseth up against her
mother, the daughter-in-law against
her mother-in-law; a man's enemies
are the men of his own house.
Therefore I will look unto the
Lord; I will wait for the God of my
salvation: my God will hear me."
Micah 7:5-7

"My dove, my undefiled is but one;
she is the only one of her mother,
she is the choice one of her that bare her.
The daughters saw her, and blessed
her;  yea, the queens and the
concubines, and they praised her."

Song of Solomon 6:9

This is an oil painting I have finally finished
after working on it, on and off since 2008

"The wise men are ashamed,
They are dismayed and taken.
Behold, they have rejected the

So what wisdom do they have?"

tHe tesTinG of JoB

'At this, Job got up and tore his robe
and shaved his head.
Then he fell to the ground in worship and said:

"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked shall I depart.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
may the name of the Lord be praised."

'In all this,  Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing'
Job 1:20-22

"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.

That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left."
Matthew 24:38-40

Walking the Dog

"The thing that hath been,
it is that which shall be;
and that which is done,
is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thing under the sun."
Ecclesiastes 1:9

Many Books

Recently I saw the William Blake exhibition....
a sobering experience,
as it was mostly his works on Hell!

I really liked his portrayal of the Book of Job.
The artwork and written text were beautifully
presented together.....so lovely his presentation...
and so old, and still inspirational.
