Gallery at the Chapman in Hampton
At the cusp of the advent season I am excited to start a series of paintings which celebrates the birth of Christ and reminds me that I am eagerly waiting for His return in glory. As I prepare for Christmas I want to prepare my life for Jesus, who came to the world as a light. 
John 3 : 17 is key to my joy! 

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

5 things
1. My best friend Pat and I are getting ready to celebrate our 22nd anniversary!!:) He is the best!! I am thankful to God for my hub!
2. I had a great lunchtime visit with my high school friend, Sandra.  She lives in New York and we spent the day together catching up, visiting art galleries and laughing and praying; it was like we picked up where we left of (oh so many years ago:)) She was in the an early morning Bible Study with me that met before school.
3. Had such a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration, it was so  fun and  we all took turns working on one dish together.
4. I feel that I sense God's creative direction for my painting.  I always have received direction in bits.
5. Pat and I are planning a short trip to celebrate our anniversary, one of my favorite things to do is investigate new to me cities.
