Napkins are things we use and discard
every day. Life can so easily be discarded as well.
"A Sketch in Time" takes the idea of a discarded napkin
and redeems it through the art drawn upon it. Take comfort
in knowing that God specializes in Redeeming the Discarded.
A Good Fortune
"The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise Him."
( Psalm 28:7)

The optimist says, "This glass is half-full."
The pessimist says, "This glass is half-
