Arts On The Ridge

In about two weeks a small South Carolina town will buzz with excitement. The Arts On The Ridge in Ridgeway SC will bring to the city local artist and performers for a weekend festival of fun. I look forward to seeing all the artist and vendors. My mission this year is to keep my wife near my booth. It is a hard assignment. There are too many unique crafts and jewelry around.

Happy Easter

It Just Keeps on Building

 

 

A few months back I wrote that Head Coach Dawn Staley of the University of South Carolina Women’s' Basketball team was good for the school, the community and the state. Her reward comes in the form of a number one recruit in the country choosing to stay home and help Dawn continue to build. Aja adds another layer of strength to the team that has always walked away from Carolina. This is also another check that coach Staley can add to the many first for the University of South Carolina.

The news continues with the total signing class of 2014.

Thanks again to Coach Staley and her staff for chosing the University of South Carolina as a camp ground of success. 

Something Good In The Shadows

Recently in the city of Charleston, S.C.I noticed a street performer singing songs for a quarter. He plucked his guitar and sang with the joy of a kid singing at a school talent show. His love for what he was doing came through and was as strong as the southern sunshine. However, many people were confused on what to do. I know that there are cities now that frown and penalize those who give to panhandlers. This leaves some visitors with a dilemma....what to do? Well, artist and street performers are actually working. Even though they love what they do and would do it for free, I think a quarter for a three minute performance is a deal.  Please feel free to let artist do what artist do. You and the artist will be amazed.

Calla Lily II

Morning Glow

 

Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.

 

Psalm 30: 4-5

Calla lilies are natives of southern Africa, particularly from the range of South Africa to Malawi and the island of Madagascar. It is not known when the calla lily first made its way to Europe, but the plants have been grown for centuries, and they can thrive in greenhouses. ehow.com

Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing. Isaiah 40:26

How Long Is Lent?

 

 

“And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6: 16-18
