Make Gratitude Your Focus
November 25, 2020

In a year of loss, disappointment and suffering, it is easy to become depressed or bitter. But God is calling us to trust him and to be thankful. As you celebrate Thanksgiving, count your blessings from the Lord. Focus not on your problems but on the grace of God that never fails.

Silent Witness Art Print
Imagine quietly walking through a moonlit, snowy woods, and coming upon a buck deer and his doe. He raises his head and you stand motionless and breathless with excitement. I painted this gouache-and-watercolor rendering in 1992, hoping the viewer would experience that delightful moment of surprise. Rather than paint the deer in detail, I rendered their ‘attitude’ with just a few strokes. “Silent Witness” is a quiet, yet powerful expression of Psalm 33:8, “Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.” Truly, the moment captured in this painting is a silent witness of the beauty of God in all of creation… even the deer.
