Masquerade of Life

I made this little art piece from a dream I had. It is just a depiction of how we often try to hide behind a brave face our flaws and disappointments.

Remember "This Boy"?

It isn't all about Nigel around here. Remember Ollie whose theme song is "This Boy"? He is still "this boy" but he likes to sport different looks trying to be "that boy". Here he is trying out his pirate look. Don't you love it when cats do this? No matter how many times I see it, I still love it. Now, when they get both ears turned over like that, I really love it! Cats just make me crazy with a warm, fuzzy feeling on my insides and I must admit with a furry look on my outside at times. However, I love 'em anyway. Bet you couldn't tell. ;)

For: Tammy From: The Nige

Nigel is full of bravado. He likes to play the tough guy but really, he is a softie. A couple of nights ago, he made this art work for Tammy because he really wants her to know that there are those out there that are understanding of her situation and are praying for the best possible outcome to her current challenge. This piece that Nigel made is pretty but does not photograph well. Apparently the time Nigel has spent with the BCP has bode him well because he chose to take an excerpt from The Comfortable Words. I apologize for my photography skills as the words are nigh unreadable, therefore, I will transcribe them here:

The Comfortable Words

Hear what comfortable words our Savior Christ saith unto all that truly turn to him.

"Come unto me all that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you." St. Matth. xi. 28


Eventhough Nigel is an excellent artist, he depends on me for his blog entries...aye, there is the rub! The art he can whip out so quickly lays in wait for his Mom to make a post about it and she is not nearly so apt to jump right on that. Anyway, Nigel hopes you enjoy!
