"With All My Soul" This a photo of the stage back drop at the once operating coffeehouse, Mercy Street Cafe. From its humble beginning, Mercy Street Cafe is now a stage venue at the annual Inside-Out Soul Festival, Gunstock, NH. " http://www.thesoulfest.com/2009
ENJOY YOUR LIFE! Every begining is a humble act of becoming.
There is nothing more enjoyable then letting yourself be creative. The act of making art is to engage with creation and to share the whirl of the universe. Creativity and inspiration are springs that feed into and from the great rapids of God. To find yourself in the hands of God, is to discover your name engaved on his palms. To realize that your skin in dust but your spirit was formed in the utter depths of God's love, is the beginning of worship. To worship God is to express appreciation for who he is and for being his!
"We are created for good works in Christ".

"Dyed-in-the-Wool Lover"
Beverly Rush 2008
I found a lover that won't quit
He promises me forever
He's not a fabric of lies
He's a dyed in the wool lover
He's my lover
He tougue talks a good message
Not many ears want to hear it
They don't beleive that a man or a woman
Can live by the spirit, the Holy Spirit
I stood at the guilty gallows
Ready to lose my face
Then came the purchase by my lover
He died in my place
I mistook him for dead
It opened my eyes to realize
His act of love
Looking in the light I saw
My life in his blood - My life is in his blood
I found a lover that won't quit
He promises me forever
He's not a fabric of lies
He's a dyed-in-the-wool lover
And he's my cover
THANKSGIVING!
Give to those in need...let God show you where and when, then give with the passion of a cheerful heart. Tell your family members you love them, often and then tell them again! Fill the cup to overflowing and yours will continue to overflow!!!
"Let the word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, so all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through Him". Colossians 3:16 &17
