    Whete are manners. Sandy your inspirational videos a month ago has guided me to get excited and approach this adventure with God and his word. I enjoy your instructional info and bible presentation of the words. I love this new bible study. Now I will pray . It's ok to make a mistakes. I am not perfect and I will learn . That God is in control, I am free to Express myself is what makes this so exciting.

    Thank you so much! I am a paper crafter and have admired the results I have seen from watercolor artists. Your video thus far is explained THE BEST. When I attempt my first project, if I achieve any success...it will be because of you! For the first time, I "got it" as you demonstrate how the marriage of color and pooling of water works (and how wonderfully flexible it all is!). Thanks very much for sharing your technique AND YOUR TIME.
