July 10, 2011  Prayer is so powerful. Faith in God and understanding His Word is so important to me. I listened to Dr. Charles Stanley, from Atlanta GA, this morning. His message was all about prayer. You should try to find today's message online. It will be well worth the effort.

I've created several windows that deal with the praying hands theme. This is one created with His blessings about two years ago.

July 10, 2011    About 2 years ago I was watching the "Hour of Power" from the Crystal Cathedral. One of the guest singers was Kerris Oaks. She sang the song "Take Your Candle, Go Light the World". I was so moved by the song's message,  Kerris' rendition and prayer that the window was created.

Today I still listen about every other day to Ms. Oaks sing the song as sung that Sunday.

July 10, 2011  This is an earlier works that was taken from a pattern I found in a glass house in Christiansburg VA. The owner had the same piece in display and another customer had also recreated it. All were with different border glass.

I gave this to my daughter.

The Week Of Easter

This is a Stained Glass works created through the guidance of God. It tells the story of the week of Easter starting with Palm Sunday and ending with the Christ's Ascension to be at the right hand of God.

The structure is to represent a church window as it would be mounted  and view from the outside of the church. The actual window sash was taken from the Central Baptist Church of Bearden in Knoxville TN. My parents were members of the church when it was undergoing renovation to the sanctuary in the 70's. Members were offered the windows if they would remove them. Dad called me asking if I was interested and got me four sashes like the one seen here plus one sash with an arched top. All sashes were glazed with an amber/white milky color of stained glass. I was able to salvage about 80% of the panes intact.

Thirty years later I took up stained glass design and construction. The windows had been stored in an old house that was soon to be torn down. Upon rescuing them again I decided to create stories based on Biblical stories in the Bible. Asking for God's guidance in all of my work I was sent the designs and glass to use to create the Week of Easter story. In each of the twelve panes a piece of the original glass was included in the works.

My goal is to witness God's wonderful greatness by allowing any church to use this creation in a ministry service. The individual images of each of the twelve panes can be supplied in JPEG format to be included with Power Point for wall projection.

This year Rich Acres Christian Church, Martinsville, VA, will be using this creation in part of their week long Easter program.

The Ascension

At present time I am working on a window that tells the story of the 23rd Psalm. God has guided me in the designing and choosing of glass. There are still 3 panes left to be created. When He shows me what to do they will be finished and the window will also be offered for use in ministry.

Take Your Candle Go Light The World

This window was inspired by the song of the same name
