Todays painting is not as good as tomorrows but was painted yesterday!

Good day brothers and sisters.
You dont have to totally understand my art to enjoy it. 
I dont have to understand God to love all created beings and the uncreated love which is beyond comprehension.(GOD)

I am going to say though that as I shall be picking my mother up for church in the morning and then taking her to her house which is in the proccess of being sold; this blog is being prepared on Wednesday although it is Thursdays blog. (ah ha, but who was to know that I would wake up earlier enough today and with energy and zest enough to add lots of writing? Okay, well yes God and God can be with and in us!)

Todays art is good and I like the photos, but am saying that a painting I have drying at the moment is potentially great. Lets see when it is fully dried, as the paint flattening may leave it just a good painting! It is though one which can be viewed any of four ways up!(we will have to see it on the next blog, or the one after!)
Although a lot of my paintings don't look anywhere near as good in photos posted on a blog, as in reality; I have taken some shots for today's blog where the effect it has shown can only be achieved because I purposefully moved the camera away from the painting slightly!
Without further ado, here are the photos. 

Oh yes, I have added some words by Milton Jones. A veritably  funny Christian. 


Holy means set apart. Not like a set of cutlery that only comes out on Sundays. More like a Swiss army knife - remove a splinter, cut a rope, open a bottle, anytime anywhere.
Whatever the boss needs.
    The Spirit of God is a real person you can invite in. But watch out - in time he will go over, pull the fridge    
    from the wall and say `What`s all this mess under here? But at least he helps clear up.
    Some people are afraid of the Holy Spirit because they think it might be like a ghost in an episode of                                                        
    Scooby Doo who turns out to be Mr Robinson the janitor after all.
    The Holy Spirit is like a good spy who can get information and arrange explosions behind enemy lines. An
    unexpected friend in a difficult place. But no one knows how he does it. As soon as the code is 
    discovered it gets changed.  
   Heaven
    Heaven will be good. Very good.
    A new start, a better chocolate cake and all
    from the perspective of Google Universe.

    Obviously I don`t know exactly what
    Heaven will be like, but all I can say is I
    wouldn`t like to be John Lennon.

    I think Heaven will be like coming home to
    a surprise party after a bad day.
                   
                      Hell

                      Hell will not be good in any way.
                   
                      In Hell, everyone who has spent their life
                      trying to avoid God will get to do it
                      permanently. But in that moment they
                      will suddenly realise the source of
                      everything good.  

    Judgement will be like being on a luggage carousel - eventually you will get claimed by your rightful owner.

    At that last moment we will all be turned from feather dusters into Dysons, and everyone will be able to see just how much good we have done.
On that day we will suddenly see our judgment for what it really was. You might think you`re okay but sometimes it`s difficult to see what you`re hanging on to. Agin, that book would have been really useful here.
 It will be as if you are asleep and the phone rings. Suddenly you will realise that all along there has been a different reality.
 Like the dustman, he will arrive on a day you`re not expecting. To sort the rubbish from the recyclable.

Christians sometimes speak about their faith with the over-certainty of someone getting their fact straight before makin a dodgy insurance claim.

   Noah
Of course flood stories occur in many cultures, but none are trivialised quite as much as in Christianity.


 The bible should be read carefully. For insance, recently I found out that a lot of the Ten Commandments have the word `not` in them! I wish I`d noticed that earlier.








                  Leadership
    We all agree that manipulation is a bad
       thing. Let me here you say `Yes!`

    The Good Sheperd lays down his life for 
    the sheep. The Bad Shepherd lays down his
    wife for the sheep.

    Weak leadership results in the bland
    leading the bland. 

                                Today there are plenty of madmen saying that God has told them things.
                                some of them are drunk in the High Street while others are leading countries.
                                Hearing God`s voice is often like trying to heare a satnav that you`ve locked
                                in the boot because you thought you wouldn`t need it.
                                Being guided by God is a bit like walking. If you stand still on one leg
                                at any one point you will probably fall over. But if you keep moving,
                                over the course of time you`ll make progress in the right direction.
                                                    The Alternatives
    Over the course of a lifetime we will all attend a few surprise parties, but just the one surprise funeral.
    You might think you`ve collected lots of daisies, but what if it turns out you were actually on a rugby pitch
    there was a match going on? Or you thought you were in a rugby match and all along you were supposed
    to be collecting daisies? Maybe life isn`t what you thoght it was about.

    `Fame and her handmaidens are but fleeting.`
                                                                 Anon
                          
Have a good day. I hope you liked my art. Know thou art loved. Peter K Ps. please if you like my blogs and website, pass it on. One day there may be more demand for my paintings and it will be worth displaying them for sale. If its partly down to you promoting me as an artist who has survived so much tragady and isnt even sure I have spelt it right. One would think hitting the spell check would sort it, but for some strange reason spell check isnt working. Proberbly it isnt a strange reason but I am not able to fathom it. As this may be an acceptable part of being in this world but not of it, I say know thyself is not as easy it may appear. For if I say - as has a brother apostle, -  `I no longer live, yet Christ lives in me`; then that gives me plenty to contemplate!
