A LETTER TO MY VISITORS
Thanks for taking some time to try to figure out who I am...
Well, I am way different ever since I let Jesus Christ into my life. (Yeah, I know what you're thinking - another Jesus freak!) You got it! ;o) God really turned a lot around for me - all for the better - Click here for my story.
'Art Connection' was invented before I let God in my life, so of course the only focus was on the 'artsy fartsy' stuff. But I no longer want to give all the attention to art - God deserves more than that. These pages will still be about art - But I am also sharing what God's power can do... God is more powerful than art; When art is faded and deteriorating, God is still there, and always will be. To make a long letter short, my focus is on God, but I still love art. It makes me happy to hear that you liked my artsy homepage, but I would jump for joy if my story or anything here made even a twinge of difference in your life. Ya see, art is great and wonderful, but God is better than anyone could ever fathom - and I just want you to experience that.
So, please do let me know if anything here made a difference.
Thanks!

This story really hit home... If you sometimes feel so overwhelmed that it doesn't seem like you are making a difference, please read this story:
A friend of mine was walking along a Florida Beach the morning after Hurricane Cassandra had stuck. As he walked along the water's edge, he saw that the storm's frenzied waves, howling winds and torrid rains had washed thousands of starfish up onto the beach. They lay stranded on the sand, in danger of dying from the sun's relentless rays beating down on them. Just then he noticed a lone figure at the other end of the beach, stooping and standing, stooping and standing, again and again. As he approached the figure he realized it was a woman, and that she was picking up starfish one by one, and throwing them back into the water.
When he was near enough to speak to the woman, he said to her, "Look at how many hundreds of starfish there are drying on the sand. How do you think that what you are doing can possibly make a difference?"
Once again she bent down, picked up another starfish, and as she tossed it into the ocean, she replied simply:
"It makes a difference to this one."
I've been thinking a lot about what my goals are and where my priorities are at. To keep myself in line, I started a list of goals; sort of my own personal mission statement...

Every once in a while, I write about things that have really impacted me. I finally started an online journal where you can see my thoughts.
