Ok so any artwork that I put on here is most likely an excercise and will not be very well-developed. So what do you think of these two?

This was a still-life that I started but didn't finish.
Rose, cedar box, hershey kiss(huge), petals, and a tin of mints (barely visable under the rose and kiss.


This was a study of a piece by de-gas.

I say that my life is about Christ. I truly want to live only for Him. Without Him I do not have reason for anything. Yet what percentage of my day is spent in Glorifying Christ. I want everything I do to be to His glory. I want to do nothing that is outside of what He wants for me. I challange you all as I do myself; how many times a day do you take a moment to focus on His will? We think about those things which are important to us... where are your thoughts? Where are your desires? Where is your attention; your focus? Where is mine?

Should I post other art type stuff on here or does that just get tedious? Please be honest... if I shouldn't then just respond something like hey just thought I'd say hi (thus avoiding the subject haha) if you think I should post more tell me... all of this stuff will be excercises so they won't be very good.  But really be honest. You will NOT hurt my feelings by telling the truth. And if I do post more then I will definitely be open to criticism. I, in fact, welcome it.
Have a great day everyone!

Psalms 12:1  Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.

Haha.. I am trying anyway... so you all can correct and criticize me please.  ;-)
Talk to you guys later.

Ok so I am always talking about the project I am doing in Design... this was my last project. It took me about 3 hours to do... (that was after I scraped the one I had been working on for the weekend)
Anyway... I took this photo that  I took of myself (that was intersting holding it away and trying to get me in the photo)....

And made it into this...



This was done by hand cutting and pasting little bits of colored paper.
Tell me what you think

    I didn't get as much done as I would have liked yesterday... I did, however, go to this awsome christian coffee shop with live music last night. That was fun. I also caught up with homework.
    What is not cool is the fact that just as I seem to be getting somewhere I start to get sick. This makes my body think it needs more sleep.
     It is interesting how mind, emotions, and physical responses are all so corralative. If only I could learn to control them... anyway...
    I am considering going into Christan counseling... that would mean going somewhwere akin to Lee... This amuses me as I was set against going simply because everyone seems to be. Ah well, God seems to have a tendency toward irony... I am worried about the money... I am currently recieving money for going to MTSU, if, however, I went to Lee, I would be spending money (money I don't have). I do know, though, that if it is His will he will provide. If only I could let go of worry completely... If only I could let go of stress... I am trying and with the Lord's help I know all things are possible.

Until next time....
1 Cor 2:3  But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by its cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Don't forget to keep your focus on "sincere and pure devotion to Christ." I need to remember that. I hope this verse blessses you.

    I stayed up all night reading a book, and writing a paper that were supposed to done today. I didn't finish the book and was upset... not only did I not sleep, (which I have been trying to do somewhat, every night, as of late) but I also failed to finish... turns out my teacher didn't even mention the book in class. sigh... I did get my process analysis paper back. For as few things as she was able to point out for improvement, I was dissapointed to barely recieve  a 90, I am just squeaking by in that class. Anyway, I don't have any homework due tomorrow so I am going to try to get a jump start on a few longer term projects, clean my bedroom, car, and get the house straightened, and hopefully vacumed. If I have time I may even be able to get the office desk caught up! 

I am buried in homework!! Who's with me? Anyone? ...

    NO CLASS THIS MORNING!! Ok I am a bit excited. I convinced my teacher that since she had a meeting and class was going to be shortened anyway and because we needed more time to work on homework, she should give us today off. That is my morning class, and I am going to do my service hours later, so I don't have to be in till 12:40. So that means I have more time to do my homework and can actually do a fitting job.

    So why is it that we can see so plainly what our friends are doing that is stupid... we see what they should do... Do we do things that, in others eyes, are as plainly wrong, or harmful? (extremely exasperated sigh)... sometimes I wish I could make others decisions for them. Not all the time of course, but only in the case that I know that they are seemingly unfit to make a proper one, and that they are going to hurt themselves.

I bewail the actuality that Paul and Russell are of the inimical tenet that my extemporaneous compilation of an agglomeration of thoughts was grandiloquent or inscrutable. I am utterly woebegone and shall, henceforth, endevour to bowdlerize my posts and thus ameliorate the situation.

Haha.. Jk guys.

Ok... so that was bad, sorry. I was doing it without using a dictionary or thesaurus so that may have been able to be a bit more circomlocutious if I hadwanted to.

No really though I don't mean to be and if I sound as if I am attempting to be formal, I apologize. It's the way I write. I wish I could just type out a blog as you all do. Anyway thanks for the comments.  ;-)
Thanks Russ, Thanks Paul.  :-)

So life has been, this week, extremely difficult. Today, however, I went motorcycling, and it was amazing. I forced myself to let other things go and to try not to think. This, the whole not thinking thing, has always been difficult for me. It was extremely refreshing.

So,
I have always thought that the idea of a blog was strange. Were I to
write my intermost thoughts, or that which I was truly feeling, I would
not post it on the internet for the world to see. My thoughts may at
times be such that I am willing to share, but that is not always the
case. Those thoughts which I would feel necessary to keep I would not
write in a public place. Unless, of course, in
a moment of weakness, I desired to release built up emotion through
writing. Even that, however, I could do through my journaling. Yet,
here I am. I have entered my e-mail address onto a screen and thus
initiated a site wherein people expect that that which they read will
give them insight into my thoughts. We shall soon see. 

I gave in...
