HEADED TO THE POLLS.....

COCHON: NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE...

THE COLOR BROWN

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside...

wait a second...

did He say 

GREEN?

Sometimes, it seems

I am surrounded by nothin' but 

plain jane beige...

Sometimes,

it's more like 

stereo surround brown...

What about my green pasture?

When everything appears lifeless around...

and I'm venturing off into 

the land of pity...

where laundry mates and multiplies like rabbits...

a place where my Cinderella slippers can not recognize the swollen feet that once were sweetly scented and petite.

a place where Mick Jagger melodically reminds me that 

I can't always get what I want.

If I just get alone and seek HIM...

He never fails to lead me beside 

His still and quiet waters

to restore my soul.

He always seems to use these 

mucky brown moments...

 to guide me back onto 

a path of humility and righteousness.

This is the path

where He reveals His name 

so simply...

so beautifully...

so patiently.

Although this path sometimes looks like 

there is nothing to eat 

to survive and thrive ...

He is with me

to guide

to comfort

and

to provide...

ALL 

of my needs...

It is here...

where He reveals just how many colors make up 

the color brown.

It is here... 

where He shows me that 

My cup overflows.

It is here... 

where I finally recognize that 

He has been feeding me 

all this time.

It is here... 

where my grass just got 

greener...

It is here... 

where the flesh gives birth to the Lamb...

a new creature in Christ...

over and over and over again!

Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me 

all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He leads me beside quiet waters,

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He restores my soul;

He guides me in the paths of righteousness

For His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You have anointed my head with oil;

My cup overflows

Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me 

all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

WRESTLING WITH THE SPIRIT

18" x 5 feet  

This was done on a piece weathered cypress

found in the Atchafalaya basin

by an old Cajun man with piercing blue eyes.

He is one of the most imaginative people

I've ever encountered.

He gave me this huge piece of cypress

and one night 

while trying to interpret its New life,

I saw

an image of a giant beast

with beady eyes and flared nostrils

who was wrestling against an angelic heavenly helper.

Grabbing some white paint...

the boy-like figure was quickly drawn

to take on the spiritual beast 

that sneaks onto this worn and wooden canvas.

It is a call for all of us...

God's children..

to call on Him through prayer

so His unseen spiritual beings

can fight on our behalf  and 

our battles can be won.

Then... 

what tends to come with most of these art pieces...

The Words....

words that interpret the art...

I love it when the words flow out!!!

It is like discovering a hidden treasure of a long ago king!

Who Is He?

He is His

and 
He is yours.

He was created for you

to fight for you.

You can not see Him.

He awaits for the trumpet to blow

according to His Father's will

and your words.

He fights your battles

in the Spirit world.

It is up to you

to release him with your words

and claim victory in the battle of good and evil.

He is yours 

and 
He is His.

FOR WE DO NOT WRESTLE

AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD,

BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES,

AGAINST POWERS,

AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS

OF THIS AGE,

AGAINST SPIRITUAL HOSTS OF WICKEDNESS

IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES.

THEREFORE TAKE UP THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD,

THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND IN THE EVIL DAY, 

AND HAVING DONE ALL, 

TO STAND
