I stamped this image twice, colored this image with copics cut out and mounted with pop ups. Put a few gems on this used the SU punch and stickles.
Thank you for stopping by. :)
Have a Blessed Day
THE ARMY OF THE LORD
A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door shaking hands with the people as they were leaving. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside. The preacher said to him, "Brother, you need to join the Army of the Lord!"
My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, preacher."
The preacher looked puzzled and asked, "How come I don't see you in church except at Christmas and Easter?"
My friend whispered back, "I'm in the secret service.".
BATS IN THE BELFRY
Three pastors were having lunch at a diner.
The first one said, "You know, since the summer started I've been having a lot of trouble with bats in the loft and attic at my church. I've tried everything -- noise, spray, cats -- nothing seems to scare them away."
The second pastor replied, "Me too. I've got hundreds of those things living in my belfry and in the narthex attic. I had the whole place fumigated, but they still won’t go away."

When I was coloring this it reminded me of a "peaceful life". As I look over my life of 54 years I am blessed for I can say I am at peace, I have no regrets, no anger, no un-forgiveness. All my trials were for my good and I learned that lesson at a young age that even in evil towards me God was working for my good. Not long ago I saw some ladies that I grew up with(old gang members) yes in my early years I was in a gang, seems like a life time ago, one is in a mental institute, some in jail, some heroin and crack addicts , some has aids, and all I could think about was this could have been me, but for the grace of God He reached down and plucked me out of the fires of this life style and saved me. And from that moment over 3o years ago, I have been blessed with a life of peace, O yes I have been through great trials in my life, but none the less The God who was able to save me from that life style I believed that He could work out all the rest.
