Mon, 17 Dec 2007 07:50:00 -0600

I just want to thank everyone that have been visiting my blog and website this past year. I hope that all of y'all have a wonderful Christmas Holiday!

Just in case any of y'all did not know, posted on my other website I have free Christmas coloring pages & Ornaments for anyone who would like to use them for their family, friends, or Children's Churches.

They are on the main webpage, just scroll down and click on the link or images.

Here's a small picture of what they look like:

I am excited as to what this new year brings. I am currently working on more artwork this week. I really enjoyed blogging here at homeschoolblogger. It will be a year on Christmas Eve that I signed up with this blog, and started Theophania Channah Arts, and all in the very same day! Wow!! Ok, got to get back to work.

Have a great Monday everyone!

A quick Hi! & Howdy!

It feels like it should be January already! We decorated and put up lights at our place so early this year (Mid-November), I like that we decided to put up the festive stuff ahead of December. On the first day of December, we can relax and not worry about having to get all of the deco stuff out. I think we made a new tradition this year!

Now that the weather is not as hot, I leave our balcony door cracked open all day so that Dosie Doe can go out to look at all of the "wee-little-people O' the ground level" (sorry-couldn't help putting in a little "Irish" twang! hahaha!) from the third floor. I don't think anyone notices her. She looks like a little muppet baby puppet sitting quietly on the concrete balcony. She has developed a habit to go outside and look for my husband in the evening. One evening she actually recognized our car, spotted my husband walking up the stairs and started jumping up and down before my husband ever reached the front door! She is becoming a good guard dog also, she barks at anyone at our front door (except for my husband) before they even knock! Amazing!

Well, I have lots of little projects to finish and start this morning. I like to keep to a schedule. Not only am I artistic, but I am very methodical at how I approach organization and planning. A good habit to pick up. I am really enjoying my visual communications business here!

I'll probably post again soon. I'll include some pictures we took from our recent Thanksgiving trip, especially with Dosie Doe in it! (For those who think I'm being over obsessive about talking about our dog, well, we don't have any kids yet to brag about, so she's it for now!! And unlike kids, it's OK to spoil her!! hahaha!).

Ya'll have a great day!

Happy Chanukah!

Tue, 4 Dec 2007 11:01:00 -0600

Here is a website I often like to go to. Hebrew for Christians (www.hebrew4christians.com), created and ran by John Parsons. I discovered this very helpful and insightful website through Zola Levitt Ministries (www.levitt.com).

Coming from a Christian gentile perspective, I am finding a lot of wonderful things in learning more about the Hebrew language, and how deeply it connects to God and our Savior Jesus Christ. It also is important to understand the Jewish foundation of our Christian faith. Jesus Christ was born a Jew. The first Churches were founded by Jews that believed in Christ. Many Churches today forget that.

I love this verse:
Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth; to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek”.

John Parsons, has a page in his website that clearly explains the origin of Chanukah, click here, the traditions and meanings involved, and how it ties to Jesus Christ.

Ok, I better go for today. I have lots of little creative design projects that are popping up in my head. It's a lot of hard work, but it's also a delight to have this opportunity to create Biblically based art, graphic designing, and an occasional Interior Design project with friends and family!
As always, I give credit to God. Before I attempt any design or graphic design project, I pray for God's guidance and blessing to help me put together ideas to accomplish whatever goal I had to do for a design project. I've noticed, if I first wait on Him and in prayer, He helps me through the entire project. That is why I am just the tool, and God is the Designer.

Ok, now I'm going...

To all of my Jewish Friends & Readers:
Happy Chanukah!
