Design: Transforming Grace Series

New sermon series is coming...

Attempt 1: I knew it might be a bit too conceptual for Pastor, but I usually try that route first just to prime the pump and then I was hopeful that he'd go with it, so I showed it to him. He's like, "Uh, Jen, reign it in."
One of the messages for the series will be on the 2nd coming of Christ and that made me think about how His grace transforms us from "goats" to "sheep" and... yeah, was too conceptual for Pastor since the focus for the series
isn't literally on how Christ separates the Sheep and Goats. [background template from Igniter Media]
He liked the title text layout/font choices and the dark background so here're the next few proofs:

I didn't want to do butterfly imagery since it's so over done... so here's changing leaves...

Just the text... kinda nice, actually.
Moody guy with filters - thought the light at the top of the image was hopeful.
God's transforming grace/faith often starts at the top [head then heart].

And then there's this happy woman. I liked the hopeful imagery. In my mind, grace is interchangeable with hope
because they're so interlinked for me. Dancing in the rain or dancing after the rain, the idea of sun after rain -
how rain transforms landscapes and the sunlight after storms have a hopeful connotation.
Did a lot to the original photo [added shadows/texture, changed colors].
But even I thought it looked more like a women's study book cover
than it did a sermon series title.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags.

Just do something!

I'm so tired of hearing about how politicians need to "compromise" and do what that particular politician wants them to do. I'm tired of those same politicians saying that there needs to be tolerance when they're the most intolerant people in the universe. This debt problem that our government has is a ridiculous problem. Anyone in his or her right mind wouldn't purposely spend more than they took in OR pay $1400 for a hammer that cost $8.50 at the hardware store OR award billions of dollars (they'd have to borrow from a foreign country) to someone to study the effects of methane on ants or some other foolish thing. If I could speak with the leaders in congress and the house right now, and knew that what I said would make a dent in their stiff-necked stances, I'd let them know in no uncertain terms that they were all fired and that we're starting over. Pay off the debt we have so we won't be in such a bind, get rid of welfare (cause since t...
