Thanks for stopping by…I’m still alive and kicking and up to my eyeballs working on the book. But we have a festive weekend coming up, and I didn’t want to let it pass without making note of a couple festivities and inviting you to stop by the reflections that I offered on them last year. The entries may be reheated, but they’re still full of flavor, so come sit for a spell and have a savory taste…
This Sunday, October 4, is World Communion Sunday. For my reflection from last year, visit The Best Supper.
This Sunday also brings us the Feast of St. Francis. I invite you to visit Feast of St. Francis for my earlier reflection on one of my favorite saints.
Many blessings to you in this week of celebration!

I was just reading an old Bloom County about Opus beating a mime with a loaf of olive bread….and then I looked at St. Francis, and suddenly he looked like a mime patting an invisible window. Did Francis have stigmata, or is that mime dude Jesus?

Hm, this may be the first time that Opus and St. Francis have appeared in the same sentence! I remember that Opus-and-the-olive-bread episode. Yes—this is indeed St. Francis, marked with the stigmata that he received during a vision he received while on a prayer retreat on the mountainside of La Verna in 1224.

Hi Jan,
Your blog is so pleasing to the eye and soul. You have such a lovely touch with color. I also really like the way your art grows out of heart and not out of any feeling of what might sell.
The one with people looking up from the table is masterful. It’s funny because I’m practicing that effect for a future drawing. Not easy. I also love the tree imagery.
I am not Christian but/and I have long appreciated the attention to the little shreds of Scripture that Christians study carefully.
Thank you for sharing all of these images and thoughts.
