Singing Through Eternity

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! 

What wondrous live is this, O my soul!

What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss

To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,

To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing;

To God and to the Lamp, I will song. 

To God and to the Lamb who is the great "I Am";

While millions join the theme, I will song, I will sing;

While millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.

And when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be;

And through eternity, I'll sing on, I'll sing on;

And through eternity, I'll sing on. 

One of my favorite hymns. Love the melody. Written by William Walker 1809-1875

Music - Moby

Extreme Ways. Fantastic song. I like about of half of Moby's other music. He's got talent. Dig this song - mainly because of the Bourne movies. *winks*

A tip or two

Know your brushes— 

• Flats - square edge, long bristle
• Brights - flat, square-edged, long sable
• Rounds - pointed bristle
• Rigger - small slender sable
• Longs - flat, square-edge, long sable
• Filberts - Flat, oval edge, long fibre 

Remember when painting— 

• Squint! It makes shapes & colors (light vs. dark) more obvious, without getting caught up in the detail. 
• Its better to have a confident line in the wrong place, then a wobbly line in the correct place. 
• Always compare - push the verticals & pull the horizons. 
• Remember the rule of 3rds.  
•  Constantly look at your subject! Your brain forgets half of what it saw, by the time your eyes shift back to your canvas.

….So It Begins

Whoever you are— 

Have you ever felt that special stillness, that sense of awesome beauty? It's the quite depth & power of God's sovereign love & mercy. We ought to take more time to truly live, more time to really see the small things… Busy or slow as your life may be; never forget to see the wonder of it all. The endless joys that God has given us, to laugh, love & live abundantly!

This is my first blog ever. Should be interesting. Although I'm not the best of writers, maybe you'll find some truth here, & be encouraged by my very spontaneous thoughts, life & photos… 

Soli Deo gloria-
