The artist's life...

"Each tiny individual piece of the body of Christ is beautiful and complete unto itself, but only when the pieces are joined together is the true beauty realized - a living, breathing portrait of Jesus, who is fully human, fully divine." ~ Alice Bass, The Creative Life

A great fellow Christian Artist and Blogger that I want to share...Say it in Color!

John and I are doing ok, the hospices nurses come and go and he listens to men's conferences on his laptop. Amazing how God uses technology for His people when they need it. John had to cancel attending the Men's Conference but can "attend" in his home. Thank you for praying for us and our family. Love you all.
Buckets of Blessings,
Pam

My husband John is on the right. He is in Hospice now...Please pray with us.

Blogging Delay...

Sorry for the long times between posts. My husband is critically ill and we are dealing with this part of the journey. The Lord gives such grace, and we appreciate your prayers.

A new look at Faith Folk Cafe'

Hi everyone, Pam here...I started goofing around trying to lighten the look up and then I went so far that I could not get back to where I started...does that make any sense??? Have you been there, done that? So, instead of lighter I've got grey and black, which I guess will make all the work look good, or, maybe I'm not done yet. Myste is up to her eyeballs in a new site so I don't want to bother her and not sure what Jane is up too. So, I'll just keep messing around, praising God for this site and hoping it looks great in the end.
p.s. I have over 800 little squares that my greeting card company needs me to hand paint and then fill in with pen. Pray for my hands...thanks!
p.s.s. I've changed the music's order to random. Tell me if you like it or hate it. I'll listen :D

Faith

A little note about great faith from Streams in the Desert. Mystele has an interview for us soon, but I thought to squeeze this note of encouragement in.

He Knows Us

"I know him, that he will command his children" (Gen. 18:19).
God wants people that He can depend upon. He could say of Abraham, "I know him, that he will command his children... that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken." God can be depended upon; He wants us to be just as decided, as reliable, as stable. This is just what faith means.
God is looking for men on whom He can put the weight of all His love and power and faithful promises. God's engines are strong enough to draw any weight we attach to them. Unfortunately the cable which we fasten to the engine is often too weak to hold the weight of our prayer; therefore God is drilling us, disciplining us to stability and certainty in the life of faith. Let us learn our lessons and stand fast. --A. B. Simpson
God knows that you can stand that trial; He would not give it to you if you could not. It is His trust in you that explains the trials of life, however bitter they may be. God knows our strength, and He measures it to the last inch; and a trial was never given to any man that was greater than that man's strength, through God, to bear it.
