this morning

I was littering the back of a couple of sold paintings from the show with scripture, having Jamin read the passages as I scribbled. As I got up to leave, I said, Okay Jesus, use these paintings to show people yourself.

Jamin flopped over and said,
"yes, it's your street corner."

that surprised me to hear. I guess I knew that Jesus could do anything with anything, but I had never tagged this as my street-corner. my place to proclaim Jesus, to live Jesus, to love people like Jesus - through paintings? but, I was just asking God after last Sunday, listening to Amanda speak about her salon chair... her street corner... God, what is mine?

perhaps by proclaiming Jesus in paintings,
people can be set free

perhaps that is why I am a painter.

and so, I will ask God for more visions.

(what is your street corner?)
