lenten journal: paint me a picture

March 15, 2014

1822

These two quotes crossed my path today.

A person is a kind of sacrament: something made of molecules by which we become aware of something else which is not made of molecules.
— Sydney Carter

Christianity is art and not money. — William Blake

Here is where they took me.

paint me a picture

bread and wine
paint and brushes
turn of a phrase
song of the heart
dancing eyes
sunlight smile
trail of tears
statue of limitations
body of work
work of art
harbinger of hope
act of faith

Peace,
Milton

Bob Bennett introduced your blog to me today via a post. Lovely.

I hate to be a party-pooper, but the phrase is “statute of limitations.” Cheers.

  I intended the play on words, Tom, since I was talking about art

Hi, Milton – A friend from church, O.R. Schmidt, put me onto your book awhile back and then your blogs. I have enjoyed all very much and am especially enjoying your Lenten pieces. I meant to respond a couple of days ago to the one on songs. I was wondering if you have heard any by Peter Mayer. I especially like his “Holy Now” and think you would also. Check it out. Looking forward to those pie recipes!
Martha

  Thanks, Martha.
  
  I do know Peter Mayer, though not that particular record. I’ll check it out. And please give my regards to O. R.
  
  Peace
