Yes…I want to be refreshed by what Peter said when he spoke to the citizens of Jerusalem that they had crucified the Lord of Glory….like something that Debi wrote. Also he explained what happened to Judas who betrayed Jesus.
Now I will go and check my Bible, now that I have submitted this comment.

Dawn, I so appreciate the essence of one’s soul on display. And, you have shown yours well through your heart story? I am walking hand in hand with you as we share the Anchor of Hope. The root system being hope as you leave my mind with your word art and canvas art to BELIEVE is blooming with belief-faith for many things. I see healthy fruit hanging from my mind tree that I harvest each time I reach my hand to touch another in love of service.

I don’t know much about mind over matter vs. believe. The mind surly fascinates me as, The Apostle Paul, a great teacher of the mind gives instructions from Romans 12 on the benefits of renewing the mind daily. That would mean to me from your root system belief take good care of ancient Wisdom being The Tree.

Peace and Hugs to you!

I love the way you write, Dawn….not to mention your art which I love, possessing several of your pieces.
Jesus said, “Unless you become as a little child you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” Your testimony shines with the simplicity, honesty, exuberance faith and free spirit of a little child whose dependence is on a great big loving God. And God has surely blessed you, delighted in you and cherished you…His delightful child… full of His creativity, insight and vitality. It is seen in your emblazoned colors and boldness of drafting strokes. Maybe a touch of genius but surely a touch of your Creator.
Thanks for sharing your feelings and testimony with us. It just gives us more to understand and appreciate about an amazing artist whose work we so very much admire.
Many blessings on all that you endeavor as an artist.

Dawn, I am a fan of your artwork! Sara’s gifts to me of your artwork introduced me to your art firsthand and I was overwhelmed with the creativity, color and beauty! It made a ‘believer’ of me. As the grateful recipient of several mandalas that I recently purchased from you, I found each one to be insightful, unique and inspiring.
I appreciate all you shared above, and as an outdoor lover myself who likes to play guitar, especially your statement, “but for me the best meditation is outdoors by the frog pond or out walking or getting lost in music”.
Your artwork, to me, is evidence that you live the words you write above.

I think Peter was going to tell them about the Man they just crucified, Jesus, and how He is not dead but risen and alive. He is going to present the importance of this good news of Jesus as Savior of all men.
Not sure if this is correct but Peter’s statement makes me want to know what he did say.

Guess I’m not clear…Does anyone remember what he said that was so important? My question is meant to say, do we remember without going back and reading. If you don’t know, does it make you want to know?

The New Century Version says: (Acts 2: 14) “But Peter stood up with the eleven apostles, and in a loud voice he spoke to the crowd: ‘My fellow Jews, and all of you who are in Jerusalem, listen to me. Pay attention to what I have to say.”
“loud voice …raised his voice” sure seems to indicate that he wanted everyone’s attention

“and listen to what I say”…………….yes, I agree Debi, “they had better pay attention”…it sounds like.

“what did he say, why, and to whom was the statement directed?” It sounds from reading this one scripture that Peter was making a proclamation. It must have been something of great importance that he had to shout out to get their attention and emphasize the urgency of the message. He may have addressed it to the other eleven disciples as well as to others that lived in Judea and/or Jerusalem. There was something or an event or issue that he needed to address that involved the people of this region…and they had better pay attention.
