Samson Junior

My most recent art; "Samson Junior." The events around Samson in the Book of Judges in Holy Scriptures has fascinated me my entire life. For this illustration I wanted to portray the strength and wildness of Samson at a more youthful age. I like this work even though I faced challenges doing it with the software I was using. 

This will be my last work done in Clip Studio Paint. In full disclosure it's not really finished. I abandoned it weeks ago. During my active work on it I experienced this bug in the program where it didn't work right with the auto save function. It required shutting down the app and rebooting it constantly. It was more than a little frustrating. It made it impossible to work on the art.

Then a few weeks later; it was time to renew the subscription. Clip Studio Paint sent numerous reminders for me to renew at the regular price of $72 per year. And, that's a little steep for me. I'm only using it part time for fun and it was not working right and was not fun. The deadline passed without me renewing. Then they offered me to resign up for half off! That just rubbed me the wrong way. It's a nice program but it's just too expensive. And, the prospect of going through an annual shakedown for what will probably be a rising rate; no thanks.

I have been look at the other options for making art on my cell phone. There are several good ones. Almost all of them were designed for desktop computers and have been adapted to mobile platforms. One out there was designed for mobile devices running Android; Infinite Painter! Which is what I will be trying next. It seems pretty good so far and comes for the ONE time price of $9.99!! I look forward to sharing something from this app with you in the future.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
