Mounting Everest

There once was a mount named Everest
We thought there was none the Betterest
Till on day when we looked close upon it
And discovered maybe we can't make it

It seemed more like Tetris we're Playing
With bricks for laying we start our praying
And never to stop we try making it fit
'It Can't' we all try and avoid to admit

Half way up this mountain we've built
Instead of a Duvet it's a Patchwork Quilt
But we'll trek on ahead on the slippery slope
For a Quarter of a Million we really must Hope

This mount is called Everest and remaining today
Are the hearts holding on all through the delay
Each step we get closer to the end that is nigh
As we follow the bright light we Wave our Goodbyes

True Inspiration, True Pain

So, there is a whole CHUNK of the world that has been forced out of their homes, out of there land, to find a new life. Our children at TACF spent time writting them letters. I spent 2 (8 hr.) nights of stressful and wonderful artistry creating theses wonderful covers for the letters and adding a teddy and also a sucker to each one. We anted to bless the small children who are now scared so much and feel no-one knows of their fear.

These are some of the covers i made for that. They are being sent with a mission group who are going down there to help in one of the schools being used as a shelter right now. And the large bears are going to go on display to remind everyone who walks past them that Canada loves and is praying for the Isrealites who have been made homeless and alone.

My Old Room

Here are the Photos of my old room which I muralled. I used normal wall paints with a small artists brush...it took me a year to do. Hopefully that will not be the case this time...no more saturdays alone in my room painting my walls...at least not right now!

Darling Cows?

I'm A HUG!

Absent Peace

When Peace can't be found
What is there left
When peace can't be found
Where do I find rest

My mind is racing, my blood rushes fast
My muscles are tense, my heart is downcast

When peace is lost
What hope is near
When peace is lost
What calms my fear

My being is empty, my emotions run out
My vision is fading, my faith turns to doubt

When peace is hiding
Where do I turn
When peace is hiding
How do I endure

My days are black, no stars in my sky
My appetite's lacking, my mouth is run dry

When peace is gone
What is there for me
When peace is gone
How do I still breath

My joy is stolen, my courage depleted
My purpose means nothing, I lay here defeated
Peace was simply all that I needed

Calm Before The Storm

All these thoughts that spin
Tornados within
Circumstances standing
Hurricanes surrounding
Inside I feel
This chaos protruding
Outside I feel
My life is concluding

Peace soon here rested
Calm can't be trusted
The wise know that after
Befalls grave disaster
Today I see
The calm has past
Tomorrow I fear
May be my last

Choices come and overflow
Tsunami's undertow
My foundations here break
Wreckage earthquake
Within I know
There's too much to handle
Beyond me I know
I'm a wreackless scandal
