September 2nd “Times & Seasons”

“Times And Seasons”

BLOG BURST
“Well, just in case you didn’t realize it September is upon us. This weekend brings Monday’s “Labor Day”, a time of reflection and paying tribute to the American worker for their achievements and contributions. Wow, take that in light of the mess we are in. Blame this and that, he or she or even them and the truth, the real truth is there. Nobody really wants to watch PBS’s account to really understand who was in charge, who made the decision and just maybe who got paid off. But, please pass the blame. The workers that we honor, we allow to bear the brunt of borrowing, giving the money away to cronyism and solutions that didn’t have a possibility of succeeding and then finally making the workers of America pay it back. Like I said what a mess!

It’s all times and seasons, as we move forward to what is coming, and people don’t want to hear that either. In our “feel good” society the choice is always about “me”!

What’s up with your Labor Day, getting together with family, friends, old customs or new traditions? Please, you may want to reflect on those who lost everything after the most recent storm or just weeks ago the most recent fire, or the most recent shooting, or the most recent tragedy, or even what you may not see coming.

Times and seasons still demand we spend time with Him, pouring ourselves out about all that concerns us. It does require the right relationship and the right standing.

Spend some time, get right and ask, seek and knock!”

POETIC PONTIFICATION
“Seasons come and seasons go; time moves more than day to day
What are you longing for, what care burdens you, what will you say
We never know the day or the hour or the true cause of events
But we sure don’t think a lot when we go off and when we truly vent
Where’s your joy where’s your peace have you just settled in
Are you at all concerned about how you are to live for Him?”

“True artist painters are a rare breed, living out a journey. They are often totally maligned and misunderstood. Sometimes it takes a lot of work and time to create something worth showing to others. Have a great week!”

August 26th “Douglas Auld Fine Art”

“See Beautiful Paintings”

BLOG BURST
“Week after week I consistently say to you, “Find my Paintings or may my Paintings Find You!

"Find My Paintings"

This week just click the link above and be taken to a new and exciting place and make that come true. It’s not quite finished yet, but I’m excited as there are so many changes about to take place that it should really be a special year. All the negative baggage has gone and we’re back on the positive way once again. With God’s direction and His Almighty favor it will be an exciting ride. Stay Tuned. I have a new announcement soon."

POETIC PONTIFFICATION
“We spend years listening to those who have no clue
They have all kinds of things for us to say and do
And yet they’ve followed the world moving to the end
All they know is diamonds are a girl’s best friend
Yet they forget His wonderful mercy and awesome grace
There is just no experience like truly seeking His face!"

"Paintings can move you, capture you, and take you beyond your expectations, but they lose value to viewers who never truly see them for what they are. Have a great week and stay positive!"

August 19th “Open My Eyes Lord!”

“Open My Eyes” (public domain image)

BLOG BURST
"The eyes are amazing creations of Almighty God.

Nothing comes close or will ever come close to God’s creations. Not even Leonardo could make a real Lion; only one that walked and was built of wood. Think about it, that was back in the 1500’s. Soon the new iPhone will be out with a very special camera and great new features. Today was the launch of a unique video player. This afternoon millions upon millions will watch videos. Hundreds of millions will be fixed to the HD Television and billions will be on smart phones. On and on it goes as man continues to invent and refine the way we see and what we see.

God has His time table and the entire planet and all things that are on it are in motion to that end. The biggest problem right now is not the technology but it’s man’s vision and man’s heart. He neither sees what is going on around him, nor looks for the miracles God performs on a daily basis. He has no relationship to God, he’s chosen his own way. An artist painter must become an observer, a researcher and an experimenter to create a painting of any worth. Yet, 99.9 percent of every human being doesn’t see God at work. In fact they don’t even acknowledge Him and the works He has already done in which man takes pleasure.

How about you? Do you know Him and have a relationship with Him? Are you going through some things that seem to have no answers? Have you chosen your own way instead of what He had for you?

He’s waiting; He’s willing; and He’s available! Just ask Him!"

PONTIFICATION
"Each day we get up work and struggle along our way
Never fully seeing or asking what should we do today
Where would You have us and what should we do
Never coming to Him clean asking Him to show anew
He’s always there, He’ll never, never turn you away
Time is moving fast don’t put off what you should do!"

"The painting will never get done if the artist just goes on with life and all its interruptions. Time to get in the real game, don’t wait! Have a great week!"

August 12th “Vision”

“His Word Is Truth” (public domain image)

BLOG BURST
“Vision is all the rage right now, in fact did you know we are actually in “The Visual Revolution”? Mobile devices seem to be changing every aspect of life. The old ways of doing business aren’t acceptable any more, in fact hundreds of thousands even millions of business have recently suffered tremendous setbacks due to Google and Facebook.

Pinterest is knocking it out of the box with its wish list and share shopping visual network. Calls on webcams and Skype are moving beyond imagination. Sharing everything with everybody is a norm and no one’s really looking at who is looking at them. Big Brothers now has plenty of Big Sisters and she’s taking over.

Why is this all happening? The book of Daniel describes some unbelievable things. A lot have come true and more are coming true each and every day. People once thought that TV was the thing that would usher in The Lord of Host, but will everyone see the two witnesses in Jerusalem on their “Mobile Devices”?

Well, we know it’s coming and we need to “share” but real time and with real effort because it’s “appointed for man once to die and then Judgment”.

Inventory time and lots to think about and be thankful for!"

POETIC PONTIFICATION
"Great God you are far beyond our mortal thoughts
Most of the time we’re all tied in our own knots
Help us to speak a word and tell another about new life
Help us make peace and live effectively for Christ
Keep us close as we don’t see all that is around
Let us live in joy and thankfulness, let love abound!"

"Spend some time looking at real art and real painting not just something that matches a pillow and you might just find a ”visual concert” for your heart. Have a good week!"

August 5th “Let The Real Opening Ceremony Come!”

“Opening Ceremonies The Olympics 2012”

BLOG BURST
“Did you see the opening ceremonies? Wasn’t that something? Think about the world and what a production that was. So many people ,so many parts, so many prompts, so many special affects, so many rehearsals, so much exactness, and so many so many’s. The administration of that was just unbelievable.

And then, the parade, it was almost from every tribe and nation. Let the games begin and so they have. Some people are flat out fixed to the TV and iPhones watching ever second and the other extreme doesn’t have a minute or a care about them. Then there are those on both sides of the middle and plenty in the middle. Lest we forget, there are still areas of the world wouldn’t have a clue what I am talking about let alone a TV or smart phone.

All of this to say what a glorious wonderful day when life changes completely and, as 1 Corinthians 2:9 says: “However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him".

Ready? Or are you living contrary to Scripture or don’t even know who He truly is? I pray God will reveal Himself to you.”

POETIC PONTIFICATION
“Go with each day You reveal your wonder awesomeness
We so don’t focus on what You are doing in our weakness
We don’t give You credit or walk according to Your will
We shamefully think its life alone that offers every thrill
But You are kind, merciful, and loving beyond our view
Come now Lord Jesus hold us and guide us in what we do!”

“Artist painters can never capture the true awesomeness of God’s creation. They can however, remind us of His truth. Have a great week!”

July 29th “Enjoying Every Day”

“Where Are You”

BLOG BURST
"Every athlete, every soldier, and a lot of people realize consistency and repetitions are necessary to performance and daily living to its fullest. Many don’t have that insight or enjoyment. Many are suffering in so many ways. Many have been burned, maligned, and mistreated to the point that hope is nothing but a distant flicker. This affects Christian and non Christian alike in the world in which we live.

Many Christians don’t know what it is to rest in the hands of God. Many don’t actively look for what He is doing in their lives. Many have walked away, taken another path, another direction, and aren’t even remotely in communication with Him. But, for those individuals who are, and for you I hope, they see His awesome movement and orchestration of events and circumstances for His purposes happening right before their very eyes. As they see these things and bear witness to the facts that are unfolding, those same eyes are filled with tears of praise and joy!

What an experience, what a joy, what a spring board from the pulling of the world there is when you not only know Him, but see how much He cares for you and your life through His direct actions. I pray you are seeing it and truly know what I am talking about.

It’s even better than when a painting brings you to tears!"

POETIC PONTIFICATION
"Jesus when You come so close I cannot breathe
All You have and are doing how can I perceive
Every day events and circumstances that come to be
Life has no meaning without You allowing me to see
Stay close, let me remember when ever the world is near
Help me to guard my heart until you make it disappear!"

"Painters sometimes get blinded by the light that really isn’t there, until they work through it and see the real gold that does appear. Have a great week!!"
