Inspired By 2 Corinthians
Inspired By The Book Of Revelation
Several people in my life are in the process of overcoming. Overcoming an addiction, a broken heart, a long illness. One dear soul I love is saying goodbye to her family as she gets ready to meet the Lord. Overcomers are the true warriors. To overcome, in Scripture, means to hear God’s voice, then to […]
Inspired By Psalm 34
Inspired By A Hymn
Sometimes a line from a song just brands itself into your mind. This line from the famous hymn has always resonated with me and so many others, it seems. We long to be close to God, but we wander away so easily and thoughtlessly. No wonder Jesus was always talking about sheep. This print is […]

Inspired By The Lilies Of The Field: Luke 12:27
A rosary should be as precious and unique as a treasured piece of jewelry, its beauty meant to inspire meditative prayer and reflection on the life of Jesus. The inspiration for this rosary comes from Luke 12:27-28: “Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon […]

Inspired by Psalm 63
It’s a special kind of joy to create scripture art. Choosing an image, selecting colors and fonts, while focusing on the meaning of the verse – it is a unique and glorious challenge. Every detail matters and any variation changes the message. This Psalm was written by David when he was in the desert. The […]
Inspired by Courage
Courage. People who risk, who stand up, who fight, who take chances, who put their lives on the line. Who isn’t inspired by courage? I particularly love this quote that is attributed to Saint Joan of Arc, a young girl who carried a banner along the French Army and was tried for heresy and unjustly […]
Your Stories Inspire Me
Your stories inspire me. When I go on a book signing or to a book fair, exhibit at an art walk or craft festival, I hear your stories. In my Etsy Shop and on Facebook, you send me notes about who you are buying for and why this person will be getting a book, print, […]
Psalm 23
Psalm 23 Bracelet, Boho Style
Wearing a piece of inspirational jewelry can be a tangible reminder of what is bigger than ourselves, a source of encouragement and comfort. After I created a sparkly, crystal Psalm 23 bracelet, my son wondered if I was going to make a guy’s version with a similar design. He wanted to wear one too. Well, […]
Psalm 23 Bracelet
Some of the most poetic, comforting words in the Bible can be found in the Book of Psalms and the most familiar is Psalm 23. The image of a gentle shepherd, green pastures, still waters, we yearn for such peace and reassurance. If you are looking to be inspired, it doesn’t get any better than […]
Inspired By The Psalms
Growing up, every Sunday in church we would sing the psalms. The congregation would chant one verse back and forth. It was mesmerizing; the melody haunting. The words fascinated me because they were emotional, longing, pleading, a kind of language I did not hear often in the understated midwestern culture I grew up in. No […]
The Mystery of Inspiration
Inspire literally means to breath in, to take air into your body. It also means to fill someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. It is derived from the Latin word “inspirare” which means breathe or blow into. The scriptural definition refers to God. 2 Timothy […]
Are Christians One Big Family?
Isn’t the Body of Christ the most amazing and eclectic group of believers? We have Latin chanting monks, kindly Protestant Sunday School teachers, pamphlet passing door-to-door bell ringers, mega church preachers and missionaries in the wilderness, all on the same team for Jesus. We come from many traditions, many perspectives and yet all follow […]
Let God Surprise You
Lists, Goals, Projects: Oh, how I love these things. Notebooks, Planners, Calendars: I’m all in. You, too? In ninth grade, I mapped out my entire high school curriculum just for fun. In college, I carefully plotted my classes so I could take extra hours each semester in subjects I loved. I knew what my senior […]
Writing Straight With A Crooked Line
You who are struggling with infertility, you are dear to me. You hold a special place in my heart. All of us who have walked in your shoes are bonded by an invisible thread of knowing. Knowing an ache for a child who does not exist, except in our dreams. Perhaps there is no way […]
Seeking A Heart Like Joseph’s
Seeking A Heart Like Joseph’s My parents gave me the name Mary Clare in honor two of great saints and most likely with the belief this name would shape their daughter’s future character. They hoped I would grow up to be a woman of faith like Mary … and perhaps be a bit feisty like […]
