hello world

There is so much craziness, unrighteousness, right now. My heart has been heavy.

I am glad to be a follower of Jesus who is my Lord and my Savior and to be a lover of God's Holy Word. What a difference it makes. My rock and my fortress. 

The Gallery is my new duty. People seem to find it a bit of an oasis in this seemingly dysfunctional world. It has been three months since I opened that weekend in March when the virus hogged the news. But now, time for updates already! Lighting and a hanging system will be installed next week. That means I have to take everything off the walls, repair whatever needs repairing, stash the art, also I am changing art and adding artists, then I will redo, redecorate, rehang. It will be new and fresh once more!

Last week I was thinking about all the art events I used to go to, receptions, openings, shows, meetings, lunches, classes, and just having good conversations. It was a shame that everything suddenly stopped. Somebody ought to do something, I thought. Then I realized that somebody was me, and the best place for a get together was the gallery. So two days later, after letting people know, about twenty people came out in terrible weather to socialize. I was encouraged. It was absolutely no trouble for me, and I will be doing it on a regular basis until there is a reason not to. We are responsible adults and have been inundated with info, so I think we can decide for themselves if we want to come, if we want to wear masks or not, and how far we want to stand from others. If the weather is good, people can go outside.

Sales are very sluggish, but occasionally there is a purchase. I’m thankful for any good thing.
