For thus says the Lord: 

When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes.-Jeremiah chapter 10

"I felt it was a word from the  Lord just for you. " A birthday note from my sister Bonnie.

PAINTING THE SELF

MY BIRTHDAY was February 12. I was born in 1947 so oddly that makes me seventy. It's not the age it is the mileage. I just need to turn my odometer back. Live Loud!  Life is good and I am blessed. 

Self Portrait. 

Also back in 2014 I did a self portrait. Trust me I do not know why I painted the bird putting beak in water to be my eye. I just did. Go figure.
