CHRISTmas Is EVERY Day!

December 25 is the traditional birthday celebration for our LORD JESUS...

But to me, and if i may speak for ALL genuine followers of LORD JESUS -- CHRISTmas is EVERY day!

  

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. He was in the beginning with GOD.  All things were made through Him and without Him, nothing was made that was made.  In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of men.  And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overpower it. (John 1:1-5)

This "vintage" tshirt was bought at The ShoppE at Rose's for just $2...WHAT a deal! (All monies and donations to Rose's go to missions.  The Naselesele Village KidZ were very glad recipients of a generous donation a few years back.) The ShoppE is located at Ocean View Church, San Diego.

This is the back -- refurbished into a stylish "tshirt tract" by rLn.

FIJIan ARTistry

During festive occasions, Fijians have a wonderFUL tradition of making colorFUL salusalus, or garlands, made with flowers and leaves found around their gardens in the village.

Below are the beautiFUL necklaces created by the moms or aunts and sisters of those graduating at Naselesele Primary School.

Jotama -- with his salusalu from Nana Ana, made with the flowers from her garden...

Lidia -- her necklace captured Fiji's tropical colors...

Salote's kindergarten youngster, with his mom's unique creation...

This little gal was beautifully decorated with her mom's patient and loving artistry.

Her sweet demeanor balances a very strong-minded personality...

Filomena -- sweet and shy, wonderfully decked out with her colorFUL salusalu...

Maria -- her very traditional salusalu did not wilt...made a great souvenir!

Rosalia and Pasemaca -- passed 8th grade and went on to secondary school...

Joana and Elena -- who entertained us with a dance...

Karen -- shining her delightFUL smile...

Police Commissioner Naivalurua -- Naselesele Village's very own...

Flowers are an integral part of the lives of islanders...and what could better decorate and beautify our children and our homes than GOD's very own sublime creation?

Then GOD said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds."  And it was so.

The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with see in it according to their kinds.  And GOD saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:11-12)

VIDAWA Mural -- Revisited, 2011

Vidawa is a very small village in Taveuni, Fiji.  i was commissioned to paint this mural in the tourist office -- depicting their very popular rainforest hike.  It was my biggest project then.

Vidawa mural, painted 2008? or 2009 -- au sa qase!  This photo was e-mailed to me a couple months after it was painted...

A couple years after -- tropical weather (much rain and high humidity) created its own spontaneous "art" with mold underneath the varnish...

i was given bird pictures to copy, since i'm quite inept at painting animals and such...

Truth...

Mercy...

Joy...

Patience...

Trust...

This 3-inch parrot took me two hours to paint! i am NOT into painting wildlife, though i appreciate and enjoy them very much.

The varnish ran into the hidden "Good Shepherd"...

Since i didn't know how to paint rooster feet (or just didn't want to bother), i just painted leaves to camouflage them...

Faith...True Vine...

i was also given pictures of the palm trees which grow in the rainforest near Vidawa, which i enjoyed copying more than the birds...

truth, life, WAY (to point to JESUS)...

Grace...hope...

bread...light (again, pointing to JESUS -- the True Bread and the True Light)

The damage done by the wet and humid tropic weather was extensive...

The mural, after two years absence...

When i was painting the mural (it took about two weeks), the children would come by after school to see the progress. As i painted, we would hold a Q&A -- school stuff -- and sometimes, i would give out candies or loose change to the one who answered first correctly. Then the kidZ would search the mural for the newest GOD-word hidden in the "bush." It was odd that all the kidZ would always find them (no matter how "cleverly" i tried to blend them in the leaves), but the adults seemed blind to them and just couldn't figure out where those words were!

i had a wonderFUL time staying in Vidawa, eating fresh fish from the sea, which was literally their backyard! Thank you for the bu (fresh green coconut) juice and tasty pawpaw.
