Boating is one of my hobbies for several reasons, one is that I love feeling the power of the ocean pushing against the power of the boat.  Sailing is grace in motion to me. At anytime the ocean has the power to consume anything and everything on it, but most days the swells and waves simply remind us of the greatness and power of the One who made them. God has many attributes. One that we don’t talk about enough is God the artist.  God speaks so powerfully through His art, “nature declares the Glory of God” … The creative art and glory of God is all around us, if we just take the time to look around.

Artist of the ages
You’ve been painting again
We see brushes of colour
On the canvas of a sunset sky
Artist of love we see
Artist of love we see

Everywhere we look we see the evidence
In a mountain stream in a child’s dance
In a crashing wave on a rocky beach
Close and near You are, You’re never out of reach
Everywhere we look on earth, in sky and sea
Your art of love is displayed for all
Who will look around, look around

Proclaimer of the ages
You’ve been speaking again
In our dreaming You visit
In our waking
Confirming along the way
You are forever near
You are forever near
