Syrian immigrant and artist Essa Neima

http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/few-artists-remember-syrias-christians/

“I want to represent all the disrespected people and the art damaged by the violence and say ‘Touch me not,’” Neima explains. The verse goes on to say, “for I have not yet returned to my Father.” Most Syrian refugees across the world claim they would like to return home to rebuild their nation as well. For now, Neima lives in Washington D.C and works as an adjunct professor of digital art at the University of the District of Columbia.

What Are We Teaching Our Young?

It is never too late to let God in,
but each step we make may be the step 
that takes some one we love farther away from God.

Be a Good Example. 

Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Coffee Is Better Later?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/27/drinking-coffee-wrong_n_7451524.html?utm_hp_ref=health-fitness&ir=Health+and+Fitness

If you have your cup-of-joe first in the morning (according to new studies) it may be too early.
This may be fine for some but I'll take my joe early just the same.


Working out first thing in the morning before coffee won't do for me.
Why mess with our relationship?

Sweetgrass 2015 Success

 Thanks again Charleston SC, & Mt.Pleasant SC for another great event. The SweetGrass Cultural Arts Festival 2015 was another hot event. Not only was the weather hot but the event went over well.
 Of course after the show King Street is the wife's favorite place.

 There is also another spot I  want to  mention on Mt. Pleasant. We were heading back to the hotel and I mentioned that I would love a good Italian Dinner. No sooner than the words left my mouth we pass a restaurant on US-17  called Bacco.


 Also Serment on Kingstreet is always great place for lunch. I  also found Caviar & Bananas to be a good coffee spot  while the wife get a pedicure and nail touch-up.
