When Is Art Too Ugly?

Click through to see some of the interesting art that some are saying is too ugly. One man's trash is another man's treasure. However, I do agree with some of the picks. What do you think?

Jesus Christ Gave Up Everything

Why did Jesus, Creator of heaven and earth, give up everything to take on the form of a man and suffer so much here on earth?



"For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:6-8)


The reason for Jesus' ministry can be summarized in one scripture verse. "He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." (1 John 3:8)

A White Christmas...Not

A White Christmas would be nice sometimes. But, I'll take a little beach weather in the seventies and sunshine most of the time. Awwww... Hilton Head Island will always give me peace. LOL so much so I can't even think right now.

Enjoy ..

Merry Christmas.

Did You Miss The Call Also?

I hope they didn’t take it personal when I didn't answered the phone. I only let it ring a few times. But, when it reads Unknown Caller, I’m not too anxious to pick it up quickly. That would be the only thing I can think of as to why “Garden and Guns” left me out of the 100 Southern Artist article. A missed call…yes that has to be it.

 Note to self....Answer the phone!

I still like you Garden and Gun's.

Other than not having me in it the interviews are great. Congratulations to Jonathan Greene and Leo Twiggs (both from South Carolina).


This is just a reminder to those of you like me that don’t answer the phone sometimes. Who knows it could be an opportunity knocking…ringing.

Eye On The Cross

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.  Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people;then you won’t become weary and give up..

Hebrews 12:1-3

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!

Christ, the Saviour is born

Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "
