"Miracles"
I like
the poetic symbolism of a lighthouse casting out light to lead
sailors home, much like the miracles God gives us to bring us home
to Him.
|
"Between
Friends"
Richard
drew this off of a photograph of my cat Emily who died when I was
19. We had been close since I was four and the poem was
written right before she passed away.
|
"The
Song That's In My Heart"
This
throne is based off of the royal throne in England. The poem
it goes with is about boldly approaching God's throne as His child.
|
"A
Feast of the Spirit"
Sometimes
when I write, I feel like God is speaking through me and I am a tool
in His hand. I liked how Richard brought this idea to life with a
magical stylus.

"Urquhart
Castle"
This
imaginary castle was drawn for a poem about a real castle in Scotland.
The poem was published in OSU's literary magazine when I was in
college.
|
"The
River Way"
There
is so much God wants to teach us through His creation. Rivers
slip past whatever may be in their way, accepting, yet changing them
at the same time. It is a quality I believe God would also
like to see in the lives of those He loves.
|
"Alone"
Richard
sketched a picture of me once as we were sitting in a pub.
When I started thinking about having illustrations as a part of the
book, I looked at that drawing and decided to ask Richard if he
would do it. This drawing is based off of that first
sketch.
|
"Wanderlust"
The first time Richard
brought some sketches for me to look at, this was included.
Although he had only meant to give me an idea of what he could do, I
liked the drawing so much that I included the piece in the book and
it became one of the first finalized illustrations.
