JOYEUX! Finding its place.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the many stories that are attached to much of my work. Once in awhile I will share some of the treasures in my home that I have accumulated through the years and many travels.

Painting:  "The Unveiling" by Rita Burton Several years ago I studied the book of Revelation with Bible Study Fellowship.  They called the study the "Unveiling of Jesus Christ."  We completed the study in a school year time line.  In the beginning of the study, I was so taken with the description;    "I then turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lamp stands, and in the midst of the lamp stands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.  The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow.  His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace and his voice was like the roar of many waters.  In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength."  Revelation 1: 12 - 16 ESV The reason I...

Later, I shared the image with my daughter, Rita.  She immedi...
