How to Dismantle an Atomic Room

Well, the semester is winding down. Finals are next week, which I'm basically ok with. I have to be moved out next week, which I'm NOT ok with! There is almost nothing on my walls, stuff is everywhere, and I keep on almost knocking my easel over! Tis madness! My friend Jordan (whose girlfriend lives across the way from me) said I could just pretend like I am in prison. That's not too comforting.


Good News (but not gospel material): We're going to Baskin Robbins for FCA tonight! AND I have started a new painting in the midst of this chaos. I think that's a good thing!?

ho hum

Ello! Today is an absolutely lovely day, and I hope you're all enjoying it. I bring forth a humble offering of a new CIVA article. Read and be enlightened.

'Tis my faith that every flower enjoys the air it breathes.

Well it was stuck in my head!

The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)
P. Simon, 1966

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy

Hello lamppost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot doo doo, feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy

I got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life I love you, all is groovy



I love this song and I've been singing it all day long, even during Sociology! SO if it's not stuck in your head, go find it and listen to it because it's just plain happy!

I thought I'd give you all a sneak peek at my painting in progress. This part takes up a space in the corner that's about 5 1/2 inches by 8 inches. Eventually this painting will (hopefully) communicate that beauty that God sees in His creation of racially different people. It's going to be called "The Eye of the Beholder". I'm also working on a series of drawings of rooms I frequently spend time in. That's about all I can say for now!
As for me, I need some serious prayer concerning the mission trip to Portugal (May 18-28). Pray that God would work mightily both bfore we're there and while we're there, and that what we accomplish would further His kingdom. I really only know one of the other 10 people going, so pray that I'll make friends quickly and we'll all get along!

Thursday night is opening night for the "H. M. S. Pinafore" and tensions are high (along with absences during rehearsals) The set looks fabulous and the finishing touch was my big British flag, making it's theatrical debut!

Hope everyone's doing well in school/work, and having a nice day!
