September 20, 2003 journal, U.S. Treasury printing money, told to write their names in ink on their forearms in the wake of Hurricane Isabel. First seeing Apocalypse painting.

I have made two paintings today, one is abstract of the money machine under the cloudy title of U.S. Treasury showing the Federal Reserve gobbling it all up and entitled making money. The second one is called Texas Oil Dummy on a string showing a man on either side the string sitting in a chair. I meant to put some oil wells pumping in the background but the space filled up even though it was not complete until I went back and dribbled red paint drops as blood all along the bottom showing the results of this war machine making money on the blood of our soldiers. The Christian right must swallow their tongues when it comes to the blood bath for our men and women of war as it is for all the innocent Iraqi people that have been hurt / killed by this foolish war to get their oil to steal their future.

Where's it all going with 50 million dollars a day being lost and unaccounted for according to Ted Kennedy's announcement at his news conference in Boston yesterday, where is the $30 million per day oil money going, not to the Iraqi people. Where is their voice now of the sacred Christian Right that cannot seem to answer these questions. Where now is Pat Roberson and his supporters now that the blood is flowing in black and red that's nearing Armageddon proportion. Life is worth much more than any measurable sum of money. Eternal life is without price, certainly Bill Gates is not rich enough to buy my eternal soul. I will visit the State Museum and photograph my 12 x 36ft. painting call Revelation Now. I have purchased a Sony CD 500 with 5 million mega pixels quality that writes to a mini CD. I purchased it from Wolf Camera shop because they had time to help me understand it and answer my questions. I went to Comp U.S.A. and they seem strange as though they did not see me and had no one in the Camera department to help me. They now have an insurance policy to sell you for $92 a year that will fix your camera even if you drop and crush it. The price of replacing the back video on this one is $299.00 if it’s not insured. The small CD will hold 100 pictures and is just one step below professional quality that's 6 mega pixel and cost about $2,000. I feel it is time to produce picture quality images of my art. It's easy to mail these mini CDs that will fit in any computer and should print well. The Sony CD 500 is offered on the Internet for $506 .00 but it is very hard to know if it includes everything or not, or if you even get a camera and when. Wolf is 699 .00 less a $75 rebate. I feel safer having someone to teach me how to operate this camera and answer my questions on hand just 10 minutes from home. This is what is considered the best German zoom lens. Cameras carry a heavy responsibility to protect them and operate. Is there any reason that would separate us from the precious love of God? If we involve in any notion that results in fatal action in war or peace then we may have a problem with God. If we sin against the Holy Ghost we have permanent separation from God Almighty. How can we face God with blood on our hands in peace or war when we are responsible. If we make any vow to any other God then we have sold our soul to this old world of sin. I had a strange dream during the night dealing with these matters and I cannot get over it. The rulers of evil have pre-committed themselves to Satan's evil of death and destruction. I observed a calendar with the beautiful art of Thomas Kinkaid and wondered if I could ever paint that way. Since discovery of all the old Masters mirroring their images onto canvas, it may be easier than first thought. Kincaid has the fish sign of Christianity on his work and one scripture from Colossians 2:5 "For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit". What a true comforting thought Lord that you are always with us.
