You can see all of my Biblical graffiti artwork on Facebook, link is here, but my most recent five are below.

1. Luke 10:1-20, “Behold I have given you the power to tread on serpents and scorpions…”
   
2. Job 8:13-15, “What they trust is fragile, what they rely on is a spiders web.”
   
3. Luke 15:1-7, The Lost Sheep
   
4. Philippians 2:5-11, “…He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death…”
   
5. Luke 1:26-2:20, “For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
   

I paced back and forth to my car, determined to wait here and see the sunrise. Somehow I was eager for the sun rise, as if I’d never seen the sunrise before; yet I had, because the sun keeps rising, day after day. So here’s the profound thought of it all, which came on the drive home: I “tried” to make it a spiritual moment, bringing my Bible, looking up scriptures for sunrise, but in reality it was a spiritual moment, yet I wasn’t wowed by it at all really. In my heart I still have my skepticism and I wasn’t amazed like I should have been. Consider the fact that God who created everything from the dirt I was standing on to the sunrise in which I was so expectantly waiting for and I wasn’t awed by really much of any of it. I’ve gotten so used to it happening that I missed the wow-factor of God the Creator. And furthermore, I’d gotten so used to God working in my life that I had missed the wow of simply stopping and reflecting on Him and realizing the amazing gift we have been given to be in a relationship with Christ; and not just any relationship, it’s a one-on-one, personal relationship with the Almighty God. How have I missed this and why am I not completely knocked on the ground everyday by this reality?

Fast forward 10 hours… and I am dropped not more than 4 miles from the last spot. Both times I picked spots that would have probably been more visually appealing at the other time. In other words I should have switched places for the sunrise and sunset for a “better view.” But altogether it was good and I kept thinking about what I had realized earlier today throughout most of the errand running. Anyways here’s some of the pictures from the sunset.

You can see Downtown L.A. in the center of the above pic slightly above the tree-line.

God certainly has provided for me in this job situation.

At my last job I had to drive a good hour in the morning (San Dimas to East LA) and another hour in the afternoon, so my 8.5 hour workday looked more like 10-11 hours when all was said and done. Now, I’m averaging 30 minute commute times; best part is that I could even take side streets and still make it home in about 45 minutes if the freeways were completely backed up. It also helps that I am going against traffic both ways.

The job is great so far, not only am I having just about full control on the design side of the projects, I am not really told how to do my job, it’s much more like a contracting position. Not to mention this job has more scope than just a typical web designer position, I get to work on logo design, print/layout design and much more. It not only is the job position that I want, but I am also getting my feet wet in the viral marketing industry, which is exactly where I’d like to be down the road.

Another great thing about the job was the technology and how they provided for the job. To do my job all I needed were 3-4 programs from Adobe: Fireworks/Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, and Illustrator; and it really didn’t matter what version, I’ve used old editions just fine in the past, but I was given a nice 17″ work laptop to use complete with the Adobe CS5 Master Collection (basically the newest, fully-loaded collection), and all the other newest software that I could possibly need for my job. It’s really quite amazing how God can provide for someone and do it in a way that makes one really appreciate their current situation. Needless to say, I am pretty sure I have found a job that I love and it’s all thanks to God’s provision.
