Now, only God knows." It sounds like you've confided some of your written notes to only God, also. Cheers.

Not a workshop goes by without a comment. And there are times when I can't read it myself. I hadn't thought about anyone reading the notes when I put up the drawings. I love those line drawings Picasso did of people. Just a single line, immaculately executed to describe the volume of a head and a body. Exquisite! I would love to be able to do this. To me, these sketches are exciting milestones on this journey. S What am I to do about the handwriting? Not a workshop goes by without a comment. And there are times when I can’t read it myself.

I am absorbed by an understanding of God's plan and how it has been unfolding throughout history. And I am thrilled by the love of a saviour who willingly suffers shame, scorn, torture and a lingering death, cut off for the first time ever from an eternal love. And he does all that for me. So, I draw because I love to draw and I listen and make notes. In the week, when my stomach is in knots before a tough session, I reflect this love and my notes. Therefore this half hour or more on a Sunday morning (and evening) feels too short for me. That’s about the length of the average sitcom.

You capture the personality of your subjects! Nice work. You really have to improve the handwriting if you expect us to get the notes on the Sermon! K The sketches are very lively.

Now I remember why I don't go to church. OMG! They would have to carry me out of there in a stretcher because I'm sure I would have lapsed into a boredom induced coma. I would be VERY fidgety if I lasted through a sermon. the pastor preaches for a half hour or MORE? Now I remember why I don’t go to church.

Our pastor Gavin preaches for half an hour or more so there is enough time, usually. Some people really fidget a lot though so sometimes I keep two or three perspectives going at a time. Really, some people are so inconsiderate... heh heh – howzit Bill – fortunately, so far anyway, I have not had this urge.

Do you sing the hymns too? It would be annoying as the model bobbed up and down at the preachers request. Just yell, "Hey, you in the blue dress, sit down and be still. No, move your head a bit to the right. Ok, now down a little and hold your gaze just so." Hey this may get me to go to church. Do you sing the hymns too?
