When the books of Genesis and Revelation fell out of my Bible for the umteenth time during Bible Study, Wayne decided it was time that I have a new Bible. He bought a beautiful journaling Bible so that I would have room for all of my notes and references and for some artwork, since I am always doodling in church. It was so beautiful, in fact, it took almost a year for me to make my first mark. I have posted my
Sketches in the Margins on Facebook, but haven't shared them here.
On the facing page, I can't wait to show....HE IS RISEN!!!
I also carry a small sketchbook to take notes and doodle. I have found that if I sketch during the sermon, I am more focused and retain more of the lesson, I also occationally jot down lyrics to songs we sing during worship when they particularly touch me.
Here is a sketch from that book.....

It's beautiful, Dawn. Beautiful. Have you considered you're a modern-day version of the monks who used to inscribe the Bible (write it all out by hand) adding glorious embellishments to the text?
Thank you so much, Margaret! I am humbled by your comparison of my sketches to the beautiful work of the monks.
All I can add is, "Wow." This is beyond impressive, Dawn.

This is absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Each page just brings tears to my eyes - to see it illustrated in such a moving way. Thank you for sharing these with us. You have expressed with ink visions that I see in my heart when I read God's word. You have turned a valuable thing into a priceless thing. I cannot find words to say any more.
Thank you, Diane!
Reta, you are so sweet! Thank you!!
