Now Accepting Credit Cards!

We have decided to step back into the world of credit card processing

after taking a short break, and I'm sure some of our

customers are breathing a huge sigh of relief!

We now accept Visa, MC, and Discover.

That's all.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Yesterday Everything Broke

"Don't lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth nor rust destroys, nor thieves break in and steal, for where your treasure is there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6: 19-21

Yesterday everything broke. Well, okay, not everything - these three things in this order:

1. The treadmill

2. The water filter thing that fits on our kitchen faucet

3. The hot air popcorn popper

It rained yesterday! FIVE INCHES! David took our dog, Abe, for a walk. Here's a picture of Abe. It was raining when they went, not that hard, but enough that they were wet when they got back.

This piece is not yet titled but we will annouce the title and accompanying verse once it's decided.

First Annual Gallery Night

Saturday night was our first annual BurdenStudio Gallery Night, and it was a great night of art and fellowship. We were so wrapped up in talking with everyone and taking care of things that we forgot to take pictures of our wonderful guests. We did sneak in a few pictures before the event started, so here are a few samples of what was shown:

If you missed coming out this time, then please consider visiting the gallery during our next event. We would love to have you.

A special thanks to our featured artists, and for those who helped us prepare for the event! We couldn't have done this without your contributions.

From Cindy...

"He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap."

- Ecclesiastes 11:4

"The Lord gave me this scripture this morning from Ecclesiastes. I was really grateful and challenged. Seems everything in business is a challenge these days. I got to thinking about all the stores who buy our sculptures, in faith that they will sell. I takes such faith to do that. I want to say 'thank you' to you all this morning, for not focusing on the wind and the clouds, but going ahead, trusting the Lord, who is our provider. I want you to know that I'm praying for your success, both in your business and in the kingdom.

I forgot our tithe last Sunday. It had been a good week and I was excited to to be able to give more. But when I looked at our bank balance this morning, it had shrunk significantly and I felt that temptation to be a storm watcher, hunker down and 'hold what ya got.' That's when the Lord gave me the scripture from Ecclesiates. Now I'm almost excited to write that check and put it in the offering box. I think I'll drive down to the church today instead of waiting for Sunday.

I hope you are encouraged today to be bold for the Lord, to trust Him because He is so worthy of your trust. We would be CRAZY not to trust Him....really. Blessings y'all...Cindy."
