Susan Hill: Believe it or not, it was a Jew who inspired me! I toured Israel in 1985. Our guide was a Jew and was very interested in Christian spirituality.
I love the Creator and His creation. I am honored to know that I can be used to paint for His glory. Horses with their golden manes are wonderful examples
Here is a brief report that I promised after last week's event in Branson, MO.
There is something powerful about believers gathering together to share Christ. Life flows. Nuts and bolts of various disciplines were taught and discussed.
There were 60 participants, undoubtedly a modest beginning, but one that somehow seemed complete. Faculty and participants came from California, Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Branson, Kansas, Missouri and Texas. Students attended workshops and panels in water color, polymer clay, voice, drama, mime, street acts, faith in media and entertainment, song writing, writing and production amongst others.
So for all those who were there, I was blessed by your presence and contribution. For those who missed out, there will probably be a next time that you might want to participate in.

My pastor once told me, As an artist, it is very hard to create outside of yourself. While working on this piece, those words that he uttered, could not
This young lady is a terrific example of one who is walking out the Master's Commission. She is contemporary and relevant, wielding her words with precision and power. I hope that you enjoy this pithy presentation of the gospel.
May 11, 2010, Jerusalem Early Morning Mists, Watercolor
Jerusalem means City of Shalom. Peace is a shallow translation of Shalom, which goes deep into one's spirit, because it is rooted in Christ, who is our
What an amazing victory was won on this blessed morning! More precious to me than ever before, I am slowly uncovering in little glimpses, what this victory means to me personally.
This poem was written for this Easter 2010
The Night Watch
Drowsy the watch, thick the night Snapped a dry twig in a blaze of light Molten bronzed embers of a weary fire Bored soldiers yawned on a night of hire
Shh! Lest you startle eyes open wide Of men of great valor, vigor and pride Worthless this watch of a dreary, sealed tomb A battered cold body held in its stone womb
Shh! Scurrying mouse, and owl overhead Instincts full of dark unaccustomed dread Portend of evil in a world yet unseen Revealing no clues of what this might mean
Shh! All who sleep on this ordinary night A war for your souls is waged out of sight Unaware of a grave powerless to contain Fierce armies of evil striving to restrain
Shh! Hear the shrieking of demonic force Clamping of jaws to snap firmly close Death, cold and empty, grasping for the prize Life, full and vibrant, in its clawing vise
Hearken to the deep rumble of thunder Supernal force of evil rend asunder Blinding the flash of ethereal, hot light In silence has changed the tenor of this night
Shh! Stand in awe, wipe sleep from your eyes Behold incredulous, this is no concocted lie He who was dead stands impossibly alive Before yawning tomb, amidst sleepy life
Shh! Learn well from this wondrous night In an ordinary moment, death was put to flight Refrain from dullness of spirit and soul Stay sharply awake to glimpse wars of the soul
Shh! When He turns to call you by name Leap to your feet, lest you be put to shame For expecting so little of that night of promise Though for eons God spoke of making you His.
