Let my first post on here be one that celebrates beauty and my beautiful son. I’ve been working on a series focusing on Raj’s “Autistic Awe.” What some may call a hyper fixation I sometimes see as the healthy opposite of our fidgety focuses. May we all capture less and be captivated more.
I had an amazing weekend at River View Arts Space in Lynchburg for their 17th Annual Juried Show

On the anniversary of the Cuban Missile crisis’ resolution:
“We are told we can be safe only through the threat of escalating violence. Yet the redemptive means JFK turned to in a similar struggle was dialogue with the enemy. When the enemy is seen as human, everything changes”

Happy Remembrance Day, Oskar Schindler - a man who showed the power of clinging to decency and compassion in an unspeakably inhumane culture.
That recipe can lead ordinary people to perform extraordinary heroism - like saving 1200+ lives.
May our faith create the same kind of action.

On this day in 1831 a mere stone’s throw from where I live, Nat Turner led a slave revolt that lasted 4 days, killing 55 in the process.
He did it because slavery was bad.
May we have the same spine and courage when fragile folks in power try to pretend otherwise.

My wife and I have wildly different life expectancies due to her degenerative conditions, so the song “If We Were Vampires” has long been special to us.
But it had proved elusive as a muse… until this month.

On this day in 1943, Franz Jägerstätter was beheaded in prison after conscientiously objecting to fighting for Hitler.
“Christ too, demands a public confession of our faith, just as the Führer does from his followers.”
Give us courage to confess your name,
And go with you against the grain.

The 80th Anniversay of Hiroshima.
A steady diet of anger and fear of those “not like us” can lead men to do monstrous things.
May the Church continue to push back against our culture’s gravitational pull toward fear and anger, and instead press on to look more like Jesus.

Sitting in a waiting room, I was listening to two men talk about a female friend’s husband being deported to El Salvador while working construction.
The man who was listening replied: “That’s funny.”
And there you have what is rotten at our culture’s core summed up in two words.

In a culture built on white supremacy, the American Church has long looked down on those body parts that it deems lesser and treated them lesser. (see 1 Cor 12)
It's not surprising that today's White American Church has a raging case of spiritual leprosy.

Much love to Jon Bellion for the album “Father Figure,” and for “Don’t Shoot” specifically. It plays like an anthem for parents & advocates of special needs, non verbal kids like my son. I love it so much that I made this oil painting on a 24x36 canvas to celebrate the song & my 👦🏾
