Back on the Highway

It's been far too long since I've posted on this blog. I apologize. My lack of posting was not because I wasn't working or that God wasn't working on me—quite the contrary. It was simply a matter of not feeling I had relevant enough material to post.

God's continued to teach me a lot. As I've said in another post-college post, this Biblical animation thing often seems less about me animating the Bible and more about God animating me in accordance with His Word. Ultimately, the goal is to have both concurrently, but even more ultimately is to accept whatever He's got in mind.

Over this “silent time,” God's taught me a lot about art and ministry. He's added to the skills I can now bring to the task—as only He can do. He's also increased my reliance on Him, which is far more valuable than any advanced drawing technique or animation principle.

As many times in the past have shown, a new project begins as my natural response to something that happens between He and I. “Unless the LORD builds the house [animation in this case], they labor in vain who build it.”Psalm 127:1. This post reflects such a beginning, although the project has actually been in the works for a little while already. “Back on the Highway” reflects the “Detour” posts, which I mostly didn't even post. Oh well, their effects will be evident in the road ahead.

More posts to come...
