It was envisioned as a retreat center but the Lord led us to another path. Now the website welcomes Christian artists and those who love them.

On hearing the word “copyright” most people think of books. But it is not only books that need copyright. Realize that the moment you create a written or visual work the only person who is allowed to copy that art is you. For example, if you decide to sell prints of one of your paintings, you can. If anyone else does, without your written permission, you have the right to take them to court and

Today, three aspects of art in worship. The first is a response to the statement “Good enough for the church.” And includes a quote I really admire:  “… as long as I keep reading and responding to God’s love letter to artists, everything else is going to take care of itself.” Jon Acuff.

I have been reading Jon Acuff's blog, Stuff Christians Like, and he is hilarious. But on Wednesdays it is serious Wednesday. Today's blog really was a reminder and an encouragement to me. Have you ever been there? Read the full blog and be reminded that we live by God's timing in all we hope to accomplish. It is that passion, that ministry, that thing that God gives you to do right now that is

Here is one blessing that I am so thankful for and that I almost missed. ------------------------------- Last time I told you about my Uncle Rudolph whose voice touched my young heart and how I lost him at

Recently my friend, Michelle, had a great idea for Christmas at our church. Why not have people share their memories of Christmas as a child. I loved the idea and started thinking right away. As I traveled down memory lane here is one story that lodged in my heart. It has nothing to do with Christmas but everything to do with my childhood. Uncle Rudolph, my mother’s brother, was the best

It was an awesome experience to be one of the sponsors of the WEZE radio Pastors Appreciation Luncheon on Thursday, Oct 8. Many people came by our table and were very excited by the possibility of the AgapeVine Christian Arts Network.

Reports in that the Internet Explorer browser is not treating AgapeVine well. One person could not get the site to open at all, and others see it but not in a good light. I have reported the problem to the designer and I am waiting for the issue to be resolved. Also waiting for a quote to do the extra work. In the meantime use Firefox or Chrome.

Starting with Bible Study last night and into this morning, I have been learning that I need to exercise my faith more. Here I am again, looking at my plans and finding that I am not really looking to God, not seeking His will. I am trying so hard to manage it all on my own. Of course that doesn't work! :)My prayer today is... "Less of me and more of Thee."My word for the week is:
