Unleashing Art Conference at Our Savior's Palm Springs

Hey Everyone - I'm really excited about Matt Tommy coming to Palm Springs in January. He authored a book Healing the Heart of the Artist and will be here to encourage and pray for the heart of the artist in God's Kingdom here in the Coachella Valley. Save the dates January 19-21.

On Thursday January 19th we will have a juried art show at Boileau Studio for artist called to use their unique giftings to share Christ to a hurting world. Contact me (Brian) to submit your work.

Hold Mommy's Hand

HOLD MOMMY'S HAND

BY BRIAN F.M. BARLOW

I asked a favor of my Father

I whispered in His ear

Hold the hand of my mother

To let her know You are near

Mommy we hold the same hands

Though I’m with Jesus and see

You are there where I did stand

His touch heals you and me

You and I will be together

I know Mommy it must seem long

But He promises life forever

and Jesus cannot be wrong

We did not know 

The sum of our days

His mercy clearly chose to show

That only He is the Way

So take His hand and let it be

As if you can feel mine and see

That I’m in good care part of a perfect song

Hug Daddy too and tell him it won’t be long

So during the time we are apart

Keep Jesus close to your heart

You need only to call His name

He’ll live in your heart and you’ll never be the same

The Start of Something New - Stay Posted

Well here goes, I find it easy to see what's absent in my life almost without effort. Each day I'm more aware that to give and bless others takes more than a choice it takes heart. God's Word says to guard our hearts for it is the wellspring of life. As an Artist it is easy to know when I have not guarded my heart. The center of my creativity flows from it and the enemy hates it. It is unique and no other heart was created like it, fashioned by Our Father to give, love and bless others with a special part of His Glory that He placed within me.
