an open letter to march

dear march,

i hope you are well, although it appears as if you might be a bit upset about something. i know it's none of my business, but i feel the need to say it anyway: whatever spring did to you last year (turning you from a lion to a lamb and all that) is water under the bridge at this point. it really is time to forgive her and be the bigger person (month? season?). i see that you've gone and thrown a bit of a fit overnight, and made your feelings obvious, but you must also think of spring's feelings. she is so excited about seeing us all again (and we her, come to think of it), and she doesn't really mean you any harm or ill will. none of us do. it's only that we would all like to see other months. please understand that it's not you. we can all still be friends, at least I hope so. so here's hoping that you can find it in your heart to forgive her, and to mellow out a bit. It is time to move on. seriously. move it. out of here. i'm done with you. i don't want to see you again for another year!

done with you,

greg.

ps. don't let the calendar hit you on the butt on your way out.

i'm giving away the swamp

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...

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

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. 

affirmed

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...
