old treasure

Wow! Two blogs in  one day! Thought I'd share something I found while I was sorting out some cupboards on the weekend. In the 80's and 90's I was into calligraphy significantly. I taught children and adults locally, even wrote two small books on "How to" . I had forgotten about any work that had sold, so was quite thrilled when I found these four plaques! A book company in Ballarat made the artwork  into plaques which sold to Christian Bookshops.

FAITH anagram

Now for something out of left field. This morning I was inspired to write an anagram for faith, which I was quite pleased with as I am doing a staff devotion this week. It may not be exactly what an anagram is as its sentences but anyway, see if you like it.

F .....Free!  ("For by grace you have been saved through FAITH, it is the GIFT of God"  

                                                                                                      Eph.2:8)

A......Accounted for righteousness  

("But to Him who does not work but BELIEVES on Him who justifies the ungodly, his FAITH is ACCOUNTED [evaluated] for righteousness")

I.......a personal decision to believe

T......The cross of Jesus is the key to eternal life

H......Heaven is where you transfer to immediately you "die"  ("I am  the resurrection and the life. He who BELIEVES in me , though he may die, he shall live. and whoever lives and BELIEVES in Me shall never die." John 11: 25,26) 

Just remembered I did a calligrahic piece on this last verse. Maybe you'd like to see that. It won  first prize in an art show. How about that. It took me 53 hours to do!
