Art
Lysney, my wife, is just recently pursuing a dream of being a jewelery designer. She has been working for herself full time now since August. She is really doing well. Anyway, we have done a lot of shows this Christmas season. Of course, I go to help and it has been really quite fun. I meet the neatest people.
Just last weekend I met a couple who takes pictures and fames them and sells them as art. They are really quite good. I was reading a sign they had up on their booth, it said changing the world through art. When you buy a piece of art from them, they donate 30% of that to Mercy Corps which provides aid and assistance around the world. They also mentioned on the sign that their lives have been influences by the teachings of people like Jesus and Ghandi. They were the first people to assist other vendors when they arrived. I truly enjoyed meeting them, and hanging out for the weekend during the show. I must admit, I was inspired by them, as I see goodness in them, and we know that all goodness comes from God.
It saddens me that people speak about them with so much hostility without even knowing them just because they are gay. Anyway, we got invited tomorrow night to an open house at their house, they said that they liked to surround themselves by good people and they really liked us. I was honored, and Lynsey and I are hoping to go . . . I think Jesus would go.
Here . . . I will through up a few pictures of Lynsey Jewerly so you can admire, and maybe even place an order. =)

Hey Jon, what's "Jewerly"?
Yes . . . she makes everything from scratch, and yes she was at George Fox recently. You probably saw her there.
Aaron, it is funny that I don't know how to spell my wifes work.
Lysney and Jon are part of my family and they are the best. That is pretty much all you need to know. LIVIN -
