Passions of an Odd Chick

You just never know....
























I know it's a little late and I've since taken it down to make room for Christmas, but in my heart I'm still there. My Sweet Farmer almost died over the Thanksgiving holidays. Without giving too much gory detail or reliving it, he had some veins burst in his esophagus and nearly bled to death before he was air-flighted to Lubbock where he had a terrible reaction to the anethesia, so on and on, and spent 6 days in ICU and two more in a regular room.

HE IS fine now!! But wow, what a Thanksgiving. I can't tell you how many wonderful things happened during that week in spite of the horrific beginning, and since that time that made the whole experience very sacred and God-filled, and me GRATE FULL for my many blessings.

I've been drawing as you can imagine. It really is the most calming therapy in the world.





























I'm pretty sure this is what Sweet Farmer's guardian angel looked like!

And this is where I'm resting...

Hi, I've been trying to find a book with the image of St John and Jesus that you show here. You photographed it from a book. Can you tell me what book it is? Thank you!
