Sidewalk Chalk Art

For Father's Day, my mom and I took our dad to La Jolla to see an Art Festival. It was quite fun and exciting to see all the different tastes and styles of art people like and are able to create. But throughout the whole festival, by far, the best thing about it was the Sidewalk chalk art portion. It is absolutley remarkable what these people can do with some chalk! Sad to say, that it is gone in like 48 hours and you just hope a dog doesn't come by and pee on it before you're finished.
I thought I'd share some pictures of this amazing hobby...
Also,
Here's a cool like to some real 3D sidewalk chalk art from the professionals

The Fellowship Of The Unashamed

My lovely co-worker sent me a link to this site and I thought it was inspiring and motivational... Please enjoy...

The Fellowship of the Unashamed
by Dr. Bob Moorehead

I am part of the "Fellowship of the Unashamed."

The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line.

The decision has been made. I am a disciple of

Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down,

back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present

makes sense, and my future is secure.

I am finished and done with low living, sight walking,

small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams,

chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position,

promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I now live by

presence, lean by faith, love by patience,

lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace

is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my

road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few,

my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought,

compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back,

diluted, or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the

presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy,

ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander

in the maze of mediocrity.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until

Heaven returns, give until I drop, preach until all know,

and work until He comes. And when He comes to get

His own, He will have no problem recognizing me.

My colors will be clear.

I am not ashamed of the gospel . . . Romans 1:16
