I discovered a website where the seminary program in Media and Worship Arts that I've longed to go to for years lists their syllabi. I am going from class to class, finding the required reading, and adding it to my Amazon. So much fascinating material on the intersection of Christianity and creativity! Reading these books … Continue reading Seminary Reading

It’s a Beautiful Life
Today I am taking some time to get out my new gel pen set and journal. I decided that what this blog needs is more pretty pictures...and raw, honest pictures too. But life at home is beautiful, and I want to savor every moment.
Stepping Back From the News
I hate stress and love the soft life. Current events stress me out badly because I can see so much wrong being done, and I can't fix it. What will be will be. I can't control the world. I will vote and make a difference where I can, but losing sleep over it just leaves … Continue reading Stepping Back From the News
Joy, Nonfiction
Just wanted to say hi. I feel so much joy. I've been praying more, and the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me. I have also been reading a book about creative nonfiction called "Bending Genre." I love it. This book is opening me up to so many possibilities. Docupoetics is one I'm interested in. … Continue reading Joy, Nonfiction

The Most Important Thing to Know
What's something you believe everyone should know. I'd be lying if I said the answer was anything other than Jesus Christ. He is our salvation, and all that stands between humanity and a roasting fire. If you become His disciple, you will enter heaven. If you do not, you will burn for eternity. I say … Continue reading The Most Important Thing to Know
Hospital
I've been in the hospital since Tuesday night with stomach problems. Hopefully, I get to go home today. I desperately want to go home. I want to clean and scrapbook and do the school run and go to Bible study and everything else. My life is calling me to come back to it. Here is … Continue reading Hospital
Scheduling to Increase Productivity
My schedule is sometimes wide open during the day, which I love. I can do what I need to when I'm ready, and do what I want when I feel up to it. However, because of depression this sometimes means I don't get as much done as I could. Sometimes having a forcing function to … Continue reading Scheduling to Increase Productivity
Digital Art Journaling
Using gradients, public domain photos, my photos, textures, light leaks, texts, cut outs, and digital scrapbooking paper, I have spent the afternoon art journaling on my phone. It feels so good! It's very enriching and cathartic. Welcome to my creative space, where I strive to reap the therapeutic benefits of art. Making these art journal … Continue reading Digital Art Journaling
