Doesn't this photo just make you smile? It's one of my favourites from a Prayer Room we ran in our local Cathedral. Sometimes simple is powerful. This kid draws better than me... I wish I could draw well. Recently I've moved from articulating my thoughts through conversation and writing, to trying to draw what I want to express. The problem is I suck at it. I'm not even being modest - I'm totally rubbish. One friend who glanced at my open journal recently thought my drawing of a baby in the womb was a pretzel! (Before I get a dozen emails I'm not preggers, just praying for our many friends who are - sorry Dad)... It doesn't really matter when I'm drawing my prayers in my journal. I know God's not grading me and He gets my meaning, besides I don't mind amusing Him with my serious lack of talent.
I've just wrapped up my to-do list for today and settled down to write to you lovely cyber-folks. As I considered what image I'd open with the thought 'I feel like drawing today's blog' popped into my head. Wouldn't that be cool? If I could actually make good on that thought I'd want one of those laptops that Phil Anderson and Joe Steinke have where you draw straight onto the screen and then I'd communicate to you visually in lines, shade and shape. Alas it's not to be. I'll keep my scrawl between God and I... xc
