Tanner: Christian African American Painter



This short vid represents how christian art class can build a child's sense of beauty while affirming their faith.  Tanner stands out as the first African American artist accepted into the Paris Academy.  Modern culture still appreciates this turn of the century artist: Touchstone magazine featured "Flight to Egypt" in their December 2019 issue.

Give Thanks to the Lord~Ps 136

Pastor Jason encouraged us this morning to personalize our story in light of Psalm 136.  Here you go!


Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is good.
His love endures forever.
Give Thanks to the God of gods
His love endures forever.
Give Thanks to the Lord of lords
His love endures forever.

He brought me forth unplanned yet planned
His love endures forever.
He set me in a family turning to Himself
His love endures forever.
He called me in the living room to follow Him
His love endures forever.

He gave my Father care and foresight for my soul
His love endures forever.
He put me in a youth group with a zealous pastor
His love endures forever.
He fell gently completely wooing my 12 year old soul
His love endures forever

He showed me His incomparable beauty
His love endures forever
Shielded by His love, he covered, protected, and preserved me
His love endures forever

Launched to the nations, he sent me
His love endures forever
Compelled by their suffering, he drew me
His love endures forever
His vision imparted to me
His love endures forever.

Clinging to Him, he united me
His love endures forever
A Christian husband he gave me
His love endures forever
With children he blessed me
His love endures forever

His heart bleeds before me
His love endures forever
His call in me
His love endures forever

Trials swirled around me
His love endures forever
Twice near death, he saved me
His love endures forever
His pressure squeezed me
His love endures forever
Fruit he brought forth through me
His love endures forever.

Unplanned yet Planned


My Creator's everyday Glory & Beauty given to me

My daughters new ministry...

Its amazing to watch your children grow into their gifts and use them to build the kingdom.  As I have mentioned before, I feel our call as a family comes out of Is 61.  We are to rebuild the ruined city.  Chicago has been devastated by sin and the vulnerable children get the worst of it.  As a Safe Family, we are partnered with other families who are meeting this need right now.

Many families are biracial temporarily and need help with the hair of the child they are caring for, bu t have no family connections to do it cheaply. Abigail has developed a plan to meet this need.  See her blog post for Safe Families.  She is offering her services!  Yes!  I love that heart...it is one of my home school goals to see my kids use their gifts to bless a hurting world.
