Merry Christmas

Verses from John 1: 9The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. WHAT A CHRISTMAS GIFT!

Salute the Sunset



From my Puerto Vallarta trip oil painting with brush on 11 x 14 canvas finished at Artists of Grace today.  Called it Salute the Sunset because this old galleon type ship goes out into the ocean at sunset and shoots a cannon.
