Business and Art

To begin a blog is to step out into the unknown. Hello, my name is Keith

and I love the arts! I started a photography business and co-founded an arts non-profit in the last two years, and now have to face how deep in big questions I am. How can you be successful and not selfish? How can you REALLY make a difference in your hometown? When do I need to do taxes?

This blog is dedicated to telling my story as I explore what life is like when you anchor yourself to the word of God no matter what you are doing in life. Jesus was compassionate and powerful; how can I most be like him?? What do we do with the grace that’s been given to us? Let’s just start with the tapestry of scripture that has shaped my life thus far, in no particular order:

• Matthew 18 makes it clear that we thrive when doing life together, as opposed to single-handedly.
• In the Song of Songs, after allowing the bride (us) to be utterly consumed in love with him and his words, the groom (Christ) beckons the bride to go further – “over the hills and upon the mountains.” I think of this as Love – Stage 2.
• In Genesis man is given dominion (creative control) over all the Earth. To me this means we are victim to nothing.
• After doing the work God had for him, Adam walks with God in the cool of the evening. This is a blueprint for life.
• Jesus went miles out of his way to care for the sick.
• Jesus chose his fights and he loved people enough to show them truth.
• We are encouraged to be shrewd! (Luke 16)
• The spoken word is powerful and should not be taken lightly. (Genesis, the gospels, Acts, Revelation)
