After Dore

I've been doing some interpretations of Gustave Dore's famous Biblical drawings. I haven't made my way through Genesis yet, but I'm persistent. Here are the current results (forgive the amateur scanning -- just got a new scanner and I'm learning the ropes).

Hope you enjoy.
Yours,
Derek

Q's, Q's, Q's

What does one do with one's time? Here's a question I've been struggling with for weeks and two months now. While music and art have always been sanctuaries, lately, my inspiration feels tapped.

I don't know whether to blame it on laziness or medication, but I've been sluggishly parading through the day. Sometimes I just want the day to end so I can go back to sleep. Other times, I'm anxious to do something meaningful with my time. So, now, I'm just filling the void by typing here at the computer hoping for some sort of enlightenment to strike me.

What do we do with the time given to us? I'm not sure but I'm willing to bet it has something to do with other people. Who and what do we value? Who and what's really important?

I'm still trying to figure out the man I want to be in the future. I know others who are seeking the same things. May we be blessed on this path and not fall apart too easily.


In other words, I believe help me with my unbelief.
