WInd Beneath My Wings 2

8X6 Oil on Canvas Panel  $125
Includes shipping and insurance in US
I was born in Baton Rouge and still have very deep roots in Louisiana, despite my Texas accent and my love of things cowboy related. The state bird of Louisiana is the Brown Pelican – this one is NOT that bird.  We see this white variety all through the Rocky Mountain States and clear down to Texas. Their clumsy take-offs are in stark contrast to their gliding ability once they are aloft. With a strong head wind or rising on thermal air currents, they barely need to flap their wings to stay aloft. This one was working to achieve altitude and had not yet raised his landing gear! 
Ecclesiastes 4:6
Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind.

Feeding the Birds



One of the best vacations we ever took with the kids was to South Padre Island. It's a long trip to get there, but well worth it. The beach that year was spotless, the weather perfect and the fishing great!

My daughter could have spent the entire time feeding the gulls, if we let her. They knew an easy mark, too - and they were so conditioned to getting fed, all you had to do was make the motion of raising your arm or tossing something in the air (either real or imaginary) and there'd be a squawking flock around you in seconds!

Philippians 4:12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
