America has had a wild ride in the first two decades of the 21st Century. The period began with Y2K hysteria, fears about the digital leap from 1999 to 2000. The change occurred with few disruptions and yet two years later a terrorist attack on America shook the world. America rebounded from that outside assault and yet the shock was greater 20 years later when the beacon of democracy was attacked by its own people. The culprits behind the attempted coup were hate speech and white supremacy as spread by the social media and led by the US president. Written in real-time, these articles reflect the American spirit as the country emerged from self--complacency to an uneasy suspicion that it had more in common with the global world than seemed apparent.¿
Dull Minds is very informational. Information is given so that each of us can search our hearts and minds. Following God's instruction is a serious matter. It is displeasing to God when we offer prayer without faith. The people of Israel would not listen to the prophet's word. Pharaoh's hardheartedness was self-induced because it was the result of his own doing.
Julius Caesar Augustus, founder of the early Roman Empire, replaced the estate of the late Roman Republic and raised taxes in conjunction with the glorious incarnation of Christ. Christ's ministry lasted the few days of three and a half years, culminating in his atoning death for the kingdom of sinful human nature. Humanity in faith was individually summoned to accept Christ as the antitypical lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world in fulfilment of Gen. 3:15. Systems of faith/belief arms would develop for believers to join. Wars of words broke out between churches and civil states regarding the nature of Christ and other traditions. Some systems of faith/belief operated within the Ten Commandments hedge, while others did not. Roman Catholicism did not operate within that hedge, disregarding the fourth commandment, thus showing contempt for the law. Believers in the Dark Ages, Middle Ages, Reformation, and post-Reformation eras broke away from the Roman Catholic Church system to follow Bible truth, causing people to give their lives and even die for their faith.¿
Choices in Life. Visions float in and out of our consciousness, reminding us of past experiences and future desires. Each has its emotional value, a price tag exacted from our being. Some bring soothing thoughts to relax our tense muscles, others promote anxiety or simply unpleasantness. No matter which forms it takes, we have a choice of our reaction-sad, happy, upset, angry. Frustration can give way to serenity. Find the positive, which is ever-present, and choose to see it as it is meant.
Twenty years ago, young Andy Boone shared an absorbing and unforgettable experience with his fifth-grade sweetheart. Now, laden with sadness and guilt, he searched in vain for the young woman and her family. The search begins when he crashes his car into a prairie fence in East Texas one rainy April morning in 1992.

Inexplicably, he will be drawn back to this spot again and again.Andy's search is complicated by the seeming anonymity of the woman he seeks.

Still, he pushes on but he is growing weary and afraid. Just the plain mystery of it all-the inexplicable absence of even the tiniest clue as to her whereabouts-threatens to strangle his dedication. Even more crippling is the beating he takes from his own internal confusion: guilt, sad memories, and difficult questions. Now, a frightening picture is emerging-something unthinkable has happened to the family he seeks.

This series came flowing out of me from 1998 until the end of 2003. These graphite drawings are the result of searching for a way to deal with mounting problems. Each piece is unique, completely different from the next, but at the same time, exactly the same. I like to plant little subtle drawings within the drawing to intrigue the viewer further. Look for the faces and figures in some of the drawings of trees and branches. Think about the captions for further insight. Stare into the drawings and see what you can see! Art won't hurt you! Enjoy.
Jesus gave His disciples orders they were to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Here, the King first invited the select classes; but they refused to come because he did not fit their expectations. When the banquet was ready, they made excuses, one after another. After the excuses, the invitation was offered to all that would hear.¿
