Inspiration through watching others
Posted on July 21, 2017 at 3:51pm 0 Comments 2 Likes
Make a place in your week for an inspiring biography/autobiography.
As a Christian, I have been a bit reluctant to do so because I want to keep my focus on Christ; however worthwhile lessons, encouragement and exhortation can come from the lives of everyday people living out exemplary commitments.
I was reminded of this somewhat accidently as I was flying through the internet, looking for knowledge-resources-inspiration to make me better…

Holiday Season 2015 and 2Cor9:6-15
All Souls Day, Los Dias de Muertos, Thanksgiving, Veteran’s Day and Christmas are among the hundreds of days in a year created by God, and every day should be celebrated. But they are also special opportunities to worship God and love others, to celebrate the good things in the world and people around us. Rather than grousing at the tawdry commercialism that is once again revving up its tired songs and plastic decor, we can take the…

Hi Brien,
Thanks for the comment. At the moment am still digitally coloring two parts of the samson saga.
One is titled Vengeance. Its about the time samson went back for his wife (the timnite girl), after she betrayed him at their wedding. Samson wants to make peace but he is denied his wife who was even given away to another man. He gets upset and wants revenge. He hits at the philistines and they hit back and he hits back harder.
The second part is titled Samson Vs 1000 men. It illustrates the scenes of him destroying 1000 philistines with a donkeys jawbone.
The other story is that of Delilah. I want show Delilah for who she is even before she meets with Samson. Samson fell in love with the wrong girl.
The final part is titled When heroes fall. I haven't done the cover yet.
Probably it will be samson between the two pillars.
And then I have see how to get them published but they will be on my wix website in the meantime till then.
That is all Brien.
Thanks again.

Mike DeRushie said… Hi Brein!
And thank you so much for welcoming me, I accepted Jesus into my life when I was 16, my journey has been rough but my Lord has been walking along side every step of the way, talent wise I am starting on a dream I've since I was 12 and that is drawing a comic book, Up to this point I had other artistic endeavours. I hope this answered your questions. :)

Matt Crotts said… Thank you, Brien, for your encouragement and help. May I put your name in the 'thank you' section of KYRIE when I prepare to do a printed version?

Brien,
Thank you, as always, for your encouragement and support. I really wouldn't have followed through and kept working on KYRIE if it wasn't for your immense help back in 2013/14. Can't thank you enough!
KYRIE is your creative offspring (Abalon was a big original influence), and I'll always be thankful for that
