In a Moment of Joy
Joy is that special element that gives texture and flavor to our daily life. It quenches a real thirst for living. Without it, we are left with closed hearts and minds. But if we let it trickle, while we savor every second, we are able to soak in the pure essence of real joy.-JHoward

Be Like Daniel
Life is all around us and consumes us. At times, it is as if we are in too deep. God could have kept Daniel from being faced by a lion. But God never promised to keep us out of the deep where we are faced with challenges. He promises to help us to the surface again safely. When you are surrounded by life, and faced with a lion, be like Daniel.

Pursuit of Happiness
Pursuit is thought to mean “to chase after” or diligently “seek.” The Declaration of Independence refers to “the pursuit of happiness” as an inalienable right to simply practice happiness. In other words, we have the right to be happy and not just try. “Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4

Trusting
Slow me down, Lord,
by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.

High Honors
Original 24x28
Pete Beaverhead (1899-1975) tells of the traditions of respect and honor
surrounding the eagle feather as an Indian symbol of power and strength. it is believed by many tribes that the eagle's spirit is alive in even the smallest of its feathers. Eagle feathers are used in battles,celebrations, and medicine.
When an Indian is marked by many stripes, he has earned the right to use eagle feathers to tie on banners as an Indian flag in battle or, as a means of ranking among those to be chosen
as a new chief.

To Say I AM

A fierceness that is both proud and lonely, a hunger and thirst. “Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness’ sake, for they shall find strength.” A strength that would die fighting, kicking, screaming. It would not stop through faith. The will to take one's place in the world. To say “I am here.” to say “I am.” – 18x24 $2600
Eagle's Prayer
I call to those who went before me for guidance to travel this day’s path.
