But if I'm an artist who is a Christian, then I can offer up my words and sentences upon the altar of the world, filled with what my eyes have seen and my ears have heard. It is, I believe, a stewardship; I can witness with care, avoiding nothing and possibly re-sacralizing something, maybe even someone, along my little way.</I>I LOVE gleaning and learning from real experiences..amazing what we can learn WHEN we allow those eyes to see with care and stewardship. <br /><br />Well done, John, I couldn't have said it better myself. :)Tiffanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320279256655289711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27882134.post-49088643932868100602009-05-05T21:30:00.000-06:002009-05-05T21:30:00.000-06:00"a writer who was a Christian..."
