A Dream of Soldiers

I am prone to vivid dreams and visions. I don’t share most of what I dream. I’m not sure most is worth sharing. But I feel like the time is coming when I will be sharing more of them with my readership. Here is one for the new DREAMS AND VISION CATEGORY:

In my dream on April 12, I walked into a circle of soldiers. All of them were from the same army. They had been frozen in place in the circle and had become like lead. I noted that these soldiers from the same army were fighting each other, but they were in a circle facing each other not drawn up in battle lines. Their faces were frozen in rage and each was in a various position of aggression. I noted that one side of the circle seemed more aggressive and violent than the other, but that they were all ready for battle. The center of the ring was carpeted with dead leaves . The scene around the ring of soldiers was a burned dead forest.

What do you see from the dream?

The Wall Pt. 2

Pray with us!

joseph elon lillie's avatarNotes From the Vicarage

Just over a year ago God gave me a vision during a Sunday morning service. In this vision I saw a satanic force coming against our church. The Lord showed me that for a season we would be able to thwart this spirit power in the strength God had already given us. But the Lord told me that there would come a time when the enemy would be too powerful for us to face in our own strength. The Lord instructed that when that time came we were to call the church to pray and He would send us divine helpers to strengthen and revive the church.

I believe we have come to that time when we cannot face the enemy in our own strength…. and so we have started THE WALL prayer meetings to call the church to pray and ask God to send us the help He promised…

Without A Recipe For a Birthday

Happy birthday!

joseph elon lillie's avatarNotes From the Vicarage

I am so proud of this lady. I would say girl but that is not what she is anymore. She has proven herself to be one of the most capable adults I know.

Today is Amanda’s birthday. If you want to know how old she is you are going to have to ask her. Because I try never to tell a lady’s age. I can be old school like that sometimes.

Amanda was supposed to be in Pennsylvania celebrating this week. Covid-19 has changed all that. It looks like none of us are going anywhere for quite a while. So instead of doing normal birthday things today like going out to eat or heading out for a movie, Amanda will be doing another episode of “Without A Recipe.”

Check in with her at 3 P.M. to wish her a happy birthday and to tell her how to make an ice…

Art For the Month Of April Pt. 4

I have been trying to spend about twenty minutes a day sketching. I am getting better, but I know I have a long way to go. Here is a still life of a shoe I did.

I realize I get so focused on the object I am trying to draw that I forget that it does not just float in space. It is only as I am posting this that I noted I did not draw anything into the background, not even a shadow. Well, t least it looks like a shoe.

Art For the Month Of April Pt. 3

This sketch was done with the help of a youtube tutorial on sketching trees and mist I am not happy with most of it but do notice improvements are happening. This is also the first time I practiced drawing with and eraser. I do like how how the pathway came out after I did the shading. I also like the little grass wisps I practiced on the left slope.
