Free will

I just recently understood a pivotal lesson in my belief. That is free will. God gives us free will to do what we want. Many, many people are angry with God for what He has done. But the only thing He has truly done is given us His Son. Faith, hope & love. Free will.
Free will is given to everyone, it is our job as adults to teach our children how to make responsible decision with this gift. It is our children's job as they mature to take on this responsibility. Use it correctly.
God did not give the murders the thought to kill. He gave them free will. God did not give the child molesters the thoughts they have. Free will. God did not give the abusers the right to abuse. Free will.
So why do we blame Him for all things that go bad? Why do we get so angry with Him when we have troubles? Because He is our Father. He has mighty shoulders. He will shed a tear for us & with us.
I for one have changed my way of reacting. It was a long time coming.........
This didn't start out as a blog about God. I just had to put my thoughts down for today. I'm glad it turned into a God thing as I needed to clarify this in my mind as well.
So remember if you do something good or bad that is YOUR decision. As you have free will. If you believe in God wonderful. If not well as long as you breathe and believe in something in time you may change your mind. Try Him out. Hey you never know.

Junque!!!

So after my teacher showed my how to do junk art. I am totally HOOKED!!! I collect junk wherever I go. Doesn't matter who's looking , if I see something I think would work I grab it. Now I need to know if there is a J.A??? Junk Anonymous?(sp) I am addicted.
Of course all the junk is good junk. I'm not talking about yucky take out wrappers. Or soiled items. I'm talking pcs. of drywall, plywood, nuts, bolts, rusted car parts, file folders, caps, etc......magazines, paper, paper, & more paper. I even have the g/kids saving for me. They are great kids. Although sometimes I think I've created monsters........
So I'm now calling my junk art Junque Art' Why? I don't know maybe it will make the junk look less junky. Maybe it will put me in the right frame of mind to create junque out of the junk. The word junque is classier than the word junk...... Who knows why I do what I do?? If you do let me know.
perhaps I should look up the word junque to make sure it means what I think it does?! ok more later....
Hugs & Blessings to you...

Blogs I've read........

I have decide to blog about blogs that inspire me. Teach me. Give me hope.
Today I found a new blog. It's named A Better Me... This young lady is truly on the right track with her time management for her children & husband. I like the way she is planning one on one time. I also like her crafty items she makes. Esp... the covered tin. Although, her Peeps are running a close second. (I LOVE PEEPS!!)

miscellanous stuff / Where is my Bohemian Tribe?

Wow it's been over 2 months since I've blogged. Where does time go?
Since we last met I have been busy. I joined a couple art classes. The teachers are incrediable. If you live in the area stop by. Art Ah La Carte 56 Harvester Avenue-Batavia NY call first. Send me a message & I will give you the number. (I have to look it up) haha
Kimberly Argenta is the owner artist. She teaches classes in acrylic, watercolor, junk art etc.etc. My fav is junk art.
Robert Garland resident artist teaches drawing classes. This man is amazing. He specializes in Portraits.
I have started many projects, but haven't finished all of them yet. Right now I am inspired by Violette Clarks whimsy creations. Check her out at Violette's Folk Art. Will post some pictures later of my projects.
I am looking for my Bohemian Tribe. If you see them send them my way. What is this? Others who enjoy doing art & want to connect to give each other inspiration. If you would like to be a part of this. Please do let me know! Well I'm off to start my day. No school here- cancelled. So my natives (G/kids) will be restless today.

Hugs & Blessings to all who read this.
