so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...

everybody needs to laugh. one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.' when you do so, some of the following gems show up. thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up. otherwise, it would certianly make this list! please laugh freely and without inhibition. thank you and have a nice day.

i cannot express today the feeling i have. this picture that i found sort of expresses it but not really. for the last ten years i have poured myself into this vocation, daring to believe that God, the very God of all creation, has called me, even me, to this work. along the way many have affirmed me in this journey, but i have continued to work for the ultimate affirmation, ordination as an elder in the united methodist church. and now i have it. after two grueling (and i mean grueling in every possible sense, really) days i recieved the call today that the board voted to recommend me to the annual conference for ordination as an elder. and as i have already said, i cannot even begin to express the emotion i feel with words like relief, joy and satisfaction. there will be plenty of time for me to reflect on this and i will have more to say about it as i do that reflecting, but today is really a day for celebrating for me, and for thanking those who have journeyed with me and s...

Ew! But that's just my opinion.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the encouragement, but you need to understand that i'm not exactly 'worrying' as you say. i am just wrestling. that is what i do, you know. i'm a wrestler. i have always been one that just can't accept something as is. i have come to see myself as a kind of jacob wrestling with the angel, holding on, all night long, until i get what i am looking for: a name. in this case i am looking for the angel to name my work. will the angel name it 'necessary?' or superfluous? or a distraction? or enough? or worthwhile?
and so, i am wrestling much more than worrying. part of my wrestling involves others' input, and so i have been trying to have this conversation that you might all help be the voice of the angel for me. sorry if the conversation has been too much 'postmodern tick tock' for you, but i feel like you have some significant input to offer me here. so, thank you for your voice, the voice of an angel, and please don't stop contributing. i need it.
