Beauty amidst the darkness

March 28, 2020March 28, 2020 / jamesrneal

Tammy and I took a long walk today. Amid all the darkness and dark news we found beauty. Beauty cast into the world by God for us to enjoy. Take some time today to bask in the beauty of Creation.

Light
Fear comes in darkness
But light from God fails us not
Light dispels darkness

Work in progress. The United Methodist Church is the church in which I was baptized and where Tammy and I were married, and I am glad for this commission piece which has given me a chance to etch the Methodist Cross and Flame. .

Finished assembly today on this 12.5 inch tall chalice. It will be etched with an image of one of the apparitions of Mary. I’m thinking Our Lady of Fatima, Guadalupe and Lourdes, obviously. Montevergine and Ghasallo also are personal favorites. Other suggestions or votes? One person who comments will be chosen at random to receive a free blue glass rocks glass with a Marian image. .

Work in progress. For me, etching is a form of prayer, especially when it’s an image of Christ, the Cross or Our Lady. .

I couldn’t get a better picture without scaring her, but Momma Robin is protecting three babies in a nest she built in a pot with artificial flowers in our front flower bed. She has the prettiest nest in town! #backyardwildlife #birdsofinstagram #findingbeauty

Penny gets super interested in sitting on my lap when I eat anything. #dogsofinstagram #doglife #dogstagram

This commission piece, with the Blessed Virgin Mary looking lovingly down on us, is headed to its new home tomorrow. Check out the Holy Cross Shop for inspiration, and if you have an idea for an etching please message me. 100% of sales support aid to the homeless and poor in our community. .
