Flash💥Devos + Podcast

Colossians 4:17-18 “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.” I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.+In prison and on papyrus, Paul poured out his heart to disrupt evil with Christ’s love. I honor how Paul’s writing still shapes our faith. Can you write or draw about what holds your conscience captive?Shine God’s mercy into “the fruitless deeds of darkness” with words and images of power and spirit.Meg West and I have been good friends since 1977 and she eagerly agreed to share her art with us on my Flash💥Devos. Meg has painted full time since 2000, delighting others with her plein air oil paintings. She paints daily, either inside her studio near Charlottesville, Virginia, or outside. Meg often gathers with fellow painters at locations that inspire them: ponds, mountains, vineyards, streams, and gardens. Her landscapes capture scenes throughout Albemarle and surrounding counties in the Shenandoah Valley, as well as Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and beyond. “I enjoy the rhythm and momentum that comes with a steady flow of painting,” she wrote. “The act of painting is what is important--feeling connected to the environment, myself, and the painting.” Find Meg on socials and on her blog at http://www.megwestoilpainting.net/Flash💥Devos is a reader-supported publication.
