The Ephiphany (That Brought Me Back to Life)

      My brother, the middle child, is the true artist in my family.  He has a natural ability to create something beautiful by taking a simple piece of parchment and turning it into a rich canvas.  He has never pursued this beautiful gift that's been given to him by the Lord, but he did turn to the art of building models piece by piece; a talent that takes such grace, patience, and a delicate hand.  


      This new beginning for my darling brother began around the time he and my sister in law had their first and only son.  His love for art came through in his unique ability to craft legendary characters such as The Wolfgang, King Kong, Godzilla, Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi), The Swamp Creature, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and many many others.  Although his works are collectibles he has chosen to showcase them for all his family to enjoy!  You see, the love for someone so strong (mainly Jesus Christ) could very well bring out the beautiful 'in you' as did 'the birth' of my brother's beautiful son!


Never underestimate your talents and remember it's never to late to start something new you feel spiritually connected with!  If your heart tells you to do it, then go ahead and give it a try!

      The oldest of the three has always had a strong desire to write novels.....  Just a few years ago he began pursuing his dream and has now put together a series of 10 books (maybe even more) on fictional novels evoked by true events in his life -- some blessed, many tragic -- of the lives of those growing up around him.  He uses a rhetoric which describes how he portrayed his peers, and the culture of those living in an urban multicultural neighborhood -- specifically the genre of the 70's and 80's..... He is a true genius and I pray that he will one day be destined to see his novels published on Home Box Office, (HBO)....'The second largest premium network' in America.    


      And now me, my time of blossoming, an epiphany if you will, have taken on new passions that have been part of me and who I am since I was a little girl.  


New Testament: Do everything without complaining or arguing; so that you may become blameless and pure children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you SHINE LIKE STARS in the universe as you hold out the word of life--in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. Philippeans 3: 14-15
