Each Painting is a Sermon

Last week I worked as a substitute receptionist/taking orders for Hart Classic Editions. Hart Classics sells Nathan Greene's art work. Nathan Greene is a Seventh-day Adventist well know artist from Michigan. His studio is in Berrien Springs near Andrews Uninversity. I enjoyed talking to the people that called to ask questions and take orders. People are impress with Nathan Greene paintings for different reasons and sometimes they want to talk about it when they place their order. So I heard all kinds of stories.

I invite you to visit the website that shows the art work by Nathan Greene at www.hartclassics.com The paintings are just beautiful! Each painting is a sermon.
I have one, a print of the one title Storytime (Jesus sitting among the children in a classroom listening to the teacher read a story). I had it in my classroom when I was teaching.

TAGnet and Hart Classic are in the same office, this means I got to come to work with Amor, my dear husband every day(Amor works at TAGnet/NetAdventist). I was glad to have the experience to help sell this paintings. I did not know it will be this interesting. It was a blessing.

Panama independence Day!

Today, November 3 is the independence Day Celebration of Panama! A day like today, my country of Panama declare it's independence from Colombia (not from Spain)

The Spanish explorers arrived in Panama at the beginning of the sixteenth century. Colonization followed and Spain ruled the region for three centuries.

In 1821 Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela got their independence from Spain and formed the Republic of Grand Colombia.

Grand Colombia dissolved in 1830 and Colombia and Panama became Nueva Granada. But in November 3 of 1903, Panama declare independence from Colombia after a civil war that lasted from 1899-1903.

In 1903 the United States supported Panama in their independence and bought the rights to build the Panama Canal, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Here is a link to pictures of Panama, enjoy.
