jesus reads my blog

jesus reads my blog. and reads my books. and sits next to me while i drive my blingin 92 honda civic (He particularly likes the sunroof). jesus hangs out with me while i drone away at the computer all day doing what i love. He enjoys my meals with me (especially those green beans). and sits on the counter while i brush my teeth (once in the morning for me and once in the evening to keep my husband happy). jesus runs with me on the eliptical, kicks my butt on the bench press, and enjoys chocolate protein shakes. jesus enjoys watching tv shows with me on DVD with a heating pad and playing strategy games. He laughs. jesus celebrates all the everyday things i do, even as i do them without giving him a second thought. when i designed this tree, jesus was hanging out in photoshop with me. just like every other day. but this was one of the things i did when i finally gave him a second thought. now this tree is in newspapers, on postcards, on the internet. it's growing for Him. and the best part of His tree are its' roots. they will stretch out to touch the world. they will be relevant and honest and madly in love. this is the assignment jesus has given me. and i figure that as long as He is with me while i'm putting my socks on and when i'm checking my email, surely He will be with me when i learn to love Him and give that love to His world.

And since I showed you some of my artwork made on a computer, here is a lovely gem I found created by none other than my beloved husband in the highly complicated program known as Paint. He titled his work "goat.bmp".
